Yesterday afternoon Mr.. j. j. Reimers
entered complaint before Justice Cooke
against Mr.. T. H. Thomas. charging abu-
sive language. The warrant was
served by Constable Eckhart, and
Mr.. Thomas appeared this morning.
Mr.. Reimers entered MIR. Thomas
drug store yesterday morning and
introduced the subject of the school
election, in which he had played
so prominent part in insuring
Mr.. Thomas defeat. and the lat
ter promptly ordered Mr.. Reimers
from the store. taking occasion at the
same time to unreservedly express to
Reimers his opinion of him. This was
what led to the warrant. This morning
Mr.. Thomas acknowledged to the Justice
in 'Reimers' presence exactly what he had
said, and stated that he was willing to
accept any consequences that the law
might impose. The squire assessed a
fine of SIS. which was cheerfully paid.
This morning at 10 o'clock the case
against VIM. Corcoran on complaint of
Capt. Joseph Bracket for breach of the
peace toward j. j. Reimers was called
before Magistrate WIvill. The court
waited until II o'clock for the appear
ance of Capt Bracket, who failing to
appear of that time. the case was dis
missed.

A "FIRST-CLASS COMPANY"
Exemplified i'm the New Wide
Awakes.
An idea of Perfection in Volunteer
OreanizatiOn---A Row. aud Arrests
by the WhOiesaIe---A False Alarm,

The new WIdeawske Hose company,
which superseded the original hook an d
ladder company, had its second frolic
last night, and resulted as before, in several
of the members being locked up in the
city Jail. This company, it will be re-
membered, was termed by the Union at
its organization MS "first-class com
pany, and it was upon the strength of
its efficiency that the Union chung to the
idea of maintaining the volunteers, as
sorting that company of this kind, with
the cooperation of team in ''hot
haste from livery stable" was of more
advantage to the city than paid system.
Well, last evening the new Wide-
Awakes had one of their own little socis-
BILE affairs. They had keg of beer, and
about the time the keg was empty and
the firemen were full, John Rooney. who
knew of the condition the men,
went up to Treman's meat market at the
corner of Third avenue and Seventeenth
street and sent into the waterworks an
alarm of fire from the Fourth ward-to
see the new company turn out. There
was the usual Changing of bells. and the
wild west exhibition on the street, as the
team dashed down in ''hot haste from a
livery stable" half mile away to the
Wide awake hook and ladder house.
The firemen were in fine spirits for fights
ing fire, and the language they used as
they went out Of the house on the truck
/! would have shocked the religious morals
of Bob lngersoll. On the corner at
Harpers theatre stood Leo Lettig, and as
the apparatus came up he said something
the truck forgot all about fire
fighting and leaping from the truck be-
gan fight on Lettig, whom they
pounded frightfully-mesnwhilet the fire
might have been burning to its hearts
content, but happily the alarm was false
and it is no telling what would have
been the outcome of the episode had moi
Marshal Miller, Deputy Marshal Long and
Officer Hetter put in an appearance. Dam
lei Doyle. Chas. Boehme, Matt Seneti
and All Cahill and John Rooney wert
arrested, and the disposition of thei
cases is chronicled elsewhere.
This morning Chief Baker disbanded
the reorganized company. and the Union
together with any other friends of tn,
volunteer system that may possibly exis
in Rock Island, will no doubt weep owe
the dissolution of this "first-clsss com
pany."
