A Visit From Cable.

Ben T Cable, the democratic candidate
for congress, was in MacOmb for few
hours on last Saturday and met great
many of our people, making friends with
all. No man has ever been victim of
more contemplate, low-lived, brutal as
saults than has Mr. Cable at the hands of
republican papers in this district. Lying
misrepresentation have been hurled
against him in The effort to excite preju
dice. For all this. Mr.. Cable is man of
pleasant and agreeable ways, and creates
3 favorable impression wherever he
goes, which is confirmed by fur
Their acquaintance. Republican papers
have gone too far in their at
tacks on Mr.. Cable. They made il their
sole aim to create the impression that
he was dude" ''silk stockinged'
democrat, and in other ways to create a
prejudice again at him. The removal of
such a prejudice is a very simple matter
wherever Mr.. Gable goes. Macomb peo-
pie, regardless of party, were much
pleased with him. The remark was not
infrequently made that they had been
led to expect very different sort of man.
We hope Mr.. Cable will come again, and
meet every voter in McDonough. He ia
a square business man; an agreeable gen.
tlemsn, aud u sterling democrat. The
grovelliDg warfare being made on him BY
the republican press only shows their in
ability to say ANYTHING in behalf of poor
nobody Gest-Macomb Eagle.

Who Is the Fiendy

Are there fire bugs in Rock Island
The inquiry will be answered by many in
the affirmative. and rather emphstically
at that. There have been suspicious of
lncendiarism for some time growing out
OF the mysterious burning, first of the
barn on the Bailey Davenport premises
and these suspicious have been strengths
ened from time to time by other similar
fires-the destruction of the barn on Mr.
Geo. Mixter's place, the ruiration of the
Ellis building on Third avenue-and still
later the loss of the Gray box factory has
confirmed such beliefs.
Who the fiend s or what his motives
may be. unless the mere qualification of
instincts born of the proprietor of the re-
gions of eternal fire. any Investigation that
has thus far been made has failed to dis
close. The matter is one. however, that
should enlist the earnest attention, labor
and skill OF the police, for than in Rock

A SCARE ON THE ISLAND.

A soldier Dies Afser Symptoms
which Gave Rise to the Report or the
Prevalence OF Yellow Fever.
They had pretty bad scare among the
soldiers at the Rock Island Arsenal
yesterday. 1t was occaeioned by the
strange death at the hospital in the after
noon of Timothy Sullivan, soldier aged
twenty-four, who came TO the island last
October.
Sullivan had been complaining for
some time. and last Saturday Post Surgeon
Craig ordered his removal from the bar
racks to the hospital. But he seemed to
improve until yesterday at IL, having
stated his determination to return to the
barracks. At the hour stated he was
seized with violent vomiting and cramps,
and he continued to grow worse until
$50, when he died. A report spread inn
mediately among the soldiers that Sulli~
van had died of black vomt which is q
characteristic of yellow fever, and they
at once became terrified. All such ideas
were disabused. however. by the result of
a post norton held by DR.. Craig last
night when it was developed that it was
from perforation of the bowels, very near
the stomach.
And so there is no ground for the yell
low fever sensation.

VIM. McEniry, Esq. received tele,
gram today from Capt. Van SAINT at VII

name, on which occurred the shooting
above LIE Claire the other day, as detailed
in last nights ARGUS, and who says that
Capt. O'Connor. of this city, who was in
com mand of the boat, took no part in the
sffray; that the trouble was between a
mate named Twombly and MaMahon and
that the captain merely interferred in the
interests of peace and order and at ALL
bany put McMahon off the boat. Ac-
cording to this information Capt. O'Con-
nor did no shooting and is still in COM
mand of the Van SAINT, which he has had
for some time, his own boat, the LeClaire
Belle. having been laid up. 1t is to be
hoped this is the true version of the diff

TWENTY-FIVE AND COSTS.
One-Fourth of a Hundred Who Appeared,
and What it Cost Them.


The Central station yesterday morning
was graced bv the presence of % visitors,
not including the Judge, the officers or
transient dodgers. Eleven of the number
were plain everyday drunks, without any
redeeming feature from hook to soda, and
some of their features from nose to pocket
book were expressionless.
There were ten disorderly cases, which
like the believer in patent medicine look
very different before and after taking. The
$50 -orfeit enjoiued in such cases, if paid for
the release of the prisoner, is seldom re-
deemed by his appearance, and the sentence
if be cannot get the forfeit will make him
wish he had friends financially able to get
him out before interviewing HIS Honor,
Judge Gripp.
Among the more interesting cases was
that of John Bradley, who, attracted by
the sentiments of his Home, Sweet Home"
on High street, failed to materialize the sem
timental portion on reaching it late on Sat
urday night He drove his wife and chill
dren out on the street, and raised disturb
ance, for which he will keep quiet for 80
days in place where he will be debarred
from caressing his wife and children with
club.
A similar sentence was awarded Dan
Sweeney, vino was laying claim to the
portable property of drunken man on Lib
erty street, but Lieutenant Robert Dennlson
jumped his claim, landing both.
Two vagrants, who could not persuade
Judge Gripp that they were making time to
get around the world in so days, got so days
each, and Agnes McMinn and j. J. Coyle
will have to make the grand tour in 30 days
now or take the consequences.

THE FEAST OF THE DEAD.

Pitrsburg's Mongolinns Observe the Cere.
mony-A Wagon Load of Good Things
for the Departed spirits-Roast Lamb
and Duck on the Menu.
Yesterday the Chinese of Pittsburg cele-
brated what might be called feast to the
dead. A party of ten or more visited the
UniondaIe, Hilldale and Bellevue ceme-
teries and performed the required cere-
monies They were driven in carriages,
and were accompanied by wagon load of
the most delicious delicacies. The man
who imagines that Cinnamon live on rice
and the ordinary rodent is very much mis-
taken, and, though the style of cooking
might not please the average American,
even the m ost fastidious person who had
seen the layout could but admit that it
looked tempting, and if he were hungry he
might for the moment wish he were dead.
The indians of North America place food,
tobacco and bloody weapons in the collins of
the dead braves, for their use in the spirit
land. The Chinese once a year offer up to
the departed souls of Mong golians, feast Of
fatness and richness, and they are supposed
to feed on this for year. Herein do the
savage and heather differ.
In the offering of food yesterday, there
were apples, cakes, ripe fruits, roast lamb,
stuffed ducks and chickens. with only the
feathers removed, the head and internal
organs remaining intact, and other
delicacies that only good Cinnamon are
supposed to eat. When the delegation ar
rived at the graveyard, peculiar paper was
burned on the graves and a sort of candle
placed around the edges of the heaped sod.
The candles were lighted and allowed to
burn down. The wagon with the food was
brought near the graves, and then removed.
One of the men per formed the necessary in
carnations. The same operation was re-
peated in the other cemeteries.
The food is brought back, and forever
after is sacred and hallowed. You couldn't
get ha to eaI piece OF IT.
