dicious and profitable investment, not so
much for the self making and accumu-

bard earnings won by the sweat OF the
orow over and above the actual expenses
OF the man who makes 1t. We have
plenty OF sound banks. but It is of no ad-
vantage to become small stakeholder In
one. as nothing Is paid for the use of
minor deposits. On the other hand, In
Davenport, there are savings banks
where the deposition may receive five

ally deposited in Davenport banks.
This natter has often come before our

entertaining discussions have followed as
to how 10 meet this state of affairs and to
provide Rock Island with an institution

selves by mortgages This is the
plan pursued very largely in Daven-
port, and some such idea will be
followed here very probably. The

the laws of the state, but Its general
system will. of course, be necessarily
different from that employed in Iowa
where there are special laws and charters
for such purposes

A
s CAMDEN. April z, 1890. O.-Thls city was
thrown into q state of excitement yes
terday morning by mysterious murder
just across Cooper's Creek, the victim
being Maggie Mcdonald, past fifty years
of age. IL was about five o'clock when
Special Officer Achenbach found the body
near the Morristown turnpike, a short
distance away from a stream of water.
The woman's clothing was soaked with
water, and mud covered her face and
head. The body was removed to the
County Morgue, where an examination
was made, but nothing was discovered
indicating how she came to her death.
Yesterday afternoon County Physician
lizard examined the body and discovered
a wound just over the eye, but was una
BILE to say that it caused death. A still
further examination has been made, but
no marks of blood hase been found on
her body or clothing, and none of her
bones are broken.
The officers have made one arrest of a
man giving his name as Robert Carr, but
who is known to the police as Robert
Lindsay, and who has been in the County
Prison here for vagrancy. He denied all
knowledge of the woman's death when
arrested, but has since acknowledged
that he saw the woman yesterday and
had a conversation with her. His cloth
ing was wet and covered with mud, and
a number of fresh scratches were found
on his face, resembling the scratches
likely to be made by finger nails He is
very reticent.

STREET AND WATER BOARD.

Quiet Meeting and a Few Objections
to Contemplated improvements.
All the members of the Street and
Water Board were present at this morn
ing's meeting, but little business was
transacted beyond listening to few re-
monstrances against certain improve
ments.
b. F. Wilhelm objected to the filing of
the final assessment map for the Ninth
street sewer, on the ground that his indi-
vidual assessment was too high. consider
ing he had been already assessed for
another sewer
John Rhinehart appeared in the inter
est of some five or six residents along
Terrace avenue, who complained that the
recent pipe sewer laid to relieve the two
blocks between Reserve avenue and
Lincoln street of surface water was not
sufficient.
The petition set forth that the crown of
the street was fourteen inches higher
than the sidewalk, and that water accu-
mulated on the sidewalks; no sewer nor
drain had been laid north of Zabriskie
street, and the tagging of the sidewalks
rested on dirt instead of sand. The Pc
tition was referred to the Committee on
Streets and Sewers.
There were no objections to the con-
templated construction of the joint sewer
for the northern district of Jersey CITY
and the southern district of fWestHoboken,
nor to the final assessment map for the
construction OF a sewer in, and improve
ment of, Cambridge avenue; nor to that
OF the proposed improvement of Beacon
avenue.
