A RuInOred Transfer.

The Davenport Democrat has the fol-
lowing:
1t is reported here by business man
who is exceedingly well known in tinan-
cial transactions in this community, that
British syndicate with ample capital
for such deal, is negotiating for the
purchase of the entire interest of the
Holmes line in the three cities, together
with the lines of Allen & Swiney here, at
Dubuque and saltwater. Mimi. and the
Moline electric line. The negotiations
are said to have originated from an at
tempt to pick up the Allen & Swiney
properties. The others were added af-
terward. If there is anything in this,
and it comes from source entitled to
respect, the deal will be large one
There are great many hundreds of thous
ands ia these street railway properties,
and they are becoming more and more
valuable. 1t Is not to be wondered al
that foreign capital should seek such an
investment as this is. though such a story
brings with it something of surprise
Representatives of both lines here deny
any knowledge of the matter.

CRAWFORD CAPTURED IT.
The Edgingtonite Got the Senator
ial Nomination.
Ten Ballots Before the Henry County
Delegates wouId Yield TO the Great
Rock Island County Greenhorn.

Last nights ARGUS contained seven
ballots of the Twenty first district sena.
torial convention at Cambridge for the
nomination for senator without choice,
together with the proceedings of the con-
vention up to that time. The fight on
this nomination consumed almost the en-
tire day. long interval of hobnobbing
and buttonholing occurring otter each
ballot. Henry county was not disposed
to be hoggish. 1t conceded Rock Island
county the nomination, but objected to
man from either Rock Island or Moline,
and above all to being made party to such
questionable act as the nomination of
w. F. Crawford. In short. the Henry
county delegates wanted the Rock Island
delegates to present the name of farm
era representative farmer with average
intelligence, and not a nonentity. whose
every public act has brought
ridIcule upon himself and all his
constituents. To nominate a man of
Crawfords calbreas a representative
of the farmers, the Henry county
delegates believed to be an insult flung
in the faces of those farmers. But the
majority of the Rock Island county dele
gates needed the warning of the chairman
of the convention which chose them and
stood firmly by the preference of the
county conyention-Crawfo The re-
suit was that he finally got there.
The eighth and ninth ballots were prac>
tically the same as the seventh, Is to 10,
while the tenth gave Crawford II to o for
K. Montgomery-not a unanimous nomi-
nation by any means.
The convention finished its work and
adjourned at 6 o'clock after appointing
legislative committee composed of Messrs.
G. V. Dickinson and +. II. Macarthur of
Henry and c. F. Gseijer. T. j Murphy
and F. q. Hemenway of Rock Island
county.
A ludicrous feature of the proceedings
was the speech made by W. C. Collins,
of this city, in accepting the nominate
1t was longer than the one made in this
city at the time of the county convention
| and Collins had committed it by
heart. He spoke it off in genuine school
boy fashion and in no lack of egotism di-
rected particular attention to himself as
the representative of the rising genera
| ton.
After Crawford's nomination he was
escorted to the rostrum and nauseated all
by his attempt to thank the convention
from the depths of his heart for the hon
or that had been put onto him." and his
absurd effort to be witty.
After the work of the day. it was no
wonder that the delegates got of the
train in the lower lumber yards on their
return last night and sought their respec-
tive homes by means of byways and dark
alleys

savings Association Holds an Ami.
mated Meeting.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Rock Island Building Loan and
Savings association was held at the office
of Secretary Guyer last evening. 1t was
very largely attended and interesting,
and somewhat animated session. The
matter heretofore spoken of in the ARGUS
of the loan by the city of 5000 to the
president and secretary who had given as
their personal collateral certain of their
shares in the association as sec lrity was
brought up, and a number of the stock
holders, chief among whom was Mr.. l..
hamburger, protested that the association
should have the use and benefit of that
money and not the officers individually.
Various conflicting views of the transsc
ton were unreseryedly expressed. and it
was finally left without any particularly
definite action on the part of the associa,
ton. Of the three directors whose time
expired-Messrs. L. s. McCabe. Lothar
Harness and l. Bamberger-the latter W as
defeated for reelection, j. J. Reimers
being elected in his place. the other two
being successful. while Mr. Reimers was
also elected president over DIR. w. T.
Magill, E. FL. Guyer secretary aud Phil
Mitchell treasurer.
There is considerable feeling manifested
among the stockholders of the associa-
ton over some phases of the nights pros
ceedings.
