Considerable discussion followed as to
certain sections of the resolutions, which,
after the defeat of several amendments,
were adopted as whole.
Neighbor Mammon made an address on
the fundamental laws of the order which
he had learned were not satisfactory, and
1t would therefore be incumbent upon the
head camp at its next meeting to adopt
new bylaws and he moved therefore that
a committee be appointed to carefully re-
wise the laws and report with recommen
dations at the next meeting of the head
camp. The suggestion that the commits
tee be composed of five was added and
the motion carried. Mr.. Msmmon was
appointed chairman, the chair withhold
ing the names of the other members for
future time.
On motion committee of three was
appointed to prepare circular outlining
the proceedings of this convention and
mail it to all the camps in the grand juris.
diction. The chair appointed Neighbors
Northcott. Hampton and Halves.
An assessment Of 81 from each camp
present was ordered to be made by the
secretary collectable at once, and the same
being taken up, was found to amount to
$lO7.
A resolution was offered and adopted
recommending that the Echo be discontin
ued as the eff csl organ of the order, and a
number of superfluous resolutions were
rejected. Thanks were extended by reso-
luton to the camps of Rock Island
county for hospitality in the entertain

Head Consul j. G. Root inviting his
presence at 8 o'clock last evening, re-,
ported that it had done so, and requested
an ans wer, but had received none, and
the indications were that Mr.. Root would

decided to hold no evening session.
Dr. McKinnie stated that in view of
the news from Denver that camps were
abandoning their charters by reason of
the Sovereign camp movement. circular
should be sent to such camps urging 10y

suit Assured mt Once,
A transaction occurred this morning
which promises to give Rock Island no.
only a new and solid business block, but

leased the Dimick property on the north
side of Second avenue between Seven

cd of ninety nine years, turned the lease
over to Mr.. E. |. Leveen for the same
length of time, and as consequence a
handsome brick building of entirely mod
ern design with dimensions of 140 by 40
feet will rise on the site. Mr. Leveen be
ing one OF the proprietors Of the famous
Liverpool & London Clothing company,
which now has large and 1ourishing
stores in most of the larger cities
throughout the United States
The building will be pushed TO COM
pletion as rapidly as possible, Mr.. Leveen
hoping to occupy il by the middle of DC.

out with a line OF mems clothing. such as
has never been brought to this section be-
fore. The company has the reputation
OF owning the largest retail houses in the
country, and the one to be established in
Rock Island will be on u par with those
nducted elsewhere. SO that by the
transaction Rock Island will not only
secure an elegant new block. but VAL

comfortably, wear a stiff and rigid cor
set, while it can be worn with as much
comfort as an ordinary dress-waist, it
will give the same elegance of contour
as the heaviest boned corset in the

that they give support to the back and

freedom and comfort of the wearer.

FOGGY EXPLANATIONS.

The Berlin Press, i'm Endeavoring to JUS
tify the Recent Decree in Regard to
slavery in Africa, Only Founder in the
Mire of Inconsistency.
LONDON, Sept. 1S-The explanations
put forth by the Berlin Post and other
less official organs in regard to the
notice restoring the East African slave
trade are so foggy as to entirely fail in
their supposed object of justifying tho
measure complained of. Not only so,
but the inconsistencies visible among
the various commentaries give rise to
the sus picion that the true inwardness
of the affair is not understood at Berlin
even by the Colonial Office. 1t is con-
sidered possible that the local officials
on the coast may have Numbered and
gone further than they were warranted
in doing, through some misinterpreta-
ton of instructions. The probability is
that the intention of the government
was to simply assure the Africans that
the new rule of the country would not
meddle with such domestic slavery as
they found existing. though they would
not sanction the slave traffic as whole.
1t will be remembered that even the
famous Christian soldier Gordon ad-
mitted the necessity of permitting
domestic slavery under the present con-
ditions of African society. ,

A GUILTY QUARTETTE.

Close of the Holden Russell Murder Trial
at Monticello, 1.-two to Hang and
Two to Go to tho Penitentiary for MUIR
der.
MONTICELLO, Ill, Sept lin the
celebrated Holden Russell murder trial
the jury this morning found the defend
ants guilty of murder and fixed the
sentence of Calvin Holden at death;
Albert Durham death; Mrs. Eliza Hol-
den, twenty-five years in the peniten-
tiary, and Edwin Holden fifteen years
in the penitentiary.
The story of the crime for which
these persons have been convicted,
is as follows: On the evening of
June 81 last, while Harley
Russell and his wife were returning
home in buggy from Monticello they
overlook two men, Calvin Holden and
Albert Durham. Durham seized the
horse, and held it while Holden drew
revolver and shot Russell, infiicting a
mortal wound. Russell lived long
enough to tell all about the shooting
and who did it. Holden and Durham
were Immediately placed in Jail, and
Durham told enough to implicate Mrs.
Holden and Edwin Holden, her son.
They, too, were arrested, and all were
indicted by the grand jury with the
above result. Sentence and date of
the execution will not be given until
the 10Th.
