The Holmes syndicate is defending IT.
self against apparent encroachments upon
its franchises by the Allen & Swiney
electric road In Davenport. The Times
says:
Wednesday evening the city council
granted right of way on Second street.
from Harrison west. to the electric street
car line. This makes their line run by
the side of the Holmes line, and Mr..
Schnitger, fearing this would crowd out
his double track, determined to take time
by the forelock. and accordingly early
this morning had large force of men al
work laying track from Harrison to Scott
streets. The electric people. fearing this
would crowd them out, applied to the
street committee. who. with the city en-.
gineer and city attorney, fixed the Ioca.
ton of the tracks. The Holmes track is
to remain where it is, and the double of
that track is to be laid north of it, while
the electric track will be placed south of
the present one. This afternoon there
was held a special meeting of the council
to give the electric line right of way on
Second street from Brady to Scott, so
that. when completed, Second street will
have three lines of street car tracks from
Brady to Scott street. The business men
along the street consent to this, as it les
sens. by large amount. the expense of
paving in front OF their property If
both car lines agree to the arrangement

A Gard 10 rhe Public.

Our attention has been called to the
circulation OF rumors on the street. chsrg
ing us with combining with dealers IN
certain line of goods to keep out compe>
tition by refusing to rent our stores on
Second avenue to any one wanting to en-
gage in their line of business. We pEb>
licly deny the charge, it being false in
every particular. We also deny the
charge that any party or parties are now
or have been paying us rent to keep our
stores closed. The change of grade and
paving of Second avenue made it neces>
sary for US to remodel the old Darts hall
building. The second floor is very
large. fine room. suitable for lodge or as
sembly purposes. The stores on the first
floor show for themselves. We offer the
whole building or any part OF it, to any
one wanting to rent for any reputable
business, and will try to meet his views
as to rental, fixtures. etc. We have as
much interest as any concern can posi-
bly, have in the growth and prosperity of
the city and most certainly would not do
anything detrimental to our interests and
those of the city of Rock Island. Very
respectfully, HENRY DARTS Sons.

AFRAID OF CABLE.

Republicans Paraie the Fact That
They Cannot Defsat the Democratic
Nominee at the oils.
If anything were needed to strengthen
the belief that the democrats had par
ticularly strong candidate for congress-
man in the person OF Mr.. Ben T. Gable.
such evidence was furnished by over
jealous republicans prior to. and at the
democratic congress onal convention. 1t
will be remembered that when the Rock
Island delegation to the republican con-
gressional convention returned home they
stenuously maintain ed that there was not
the slightest chance Of MIR. Cable being
nominated. All this was pretty good
indication to democrats that the Rock
Island republicans d d not want Mr.. Cable
nominated, but little incident at Mon
mouth last Tuesday confirmed this sup.
position.
It trsnspires that u repre- sentative OF a
certain republican paper who went TO
Monmouth. ostensibly to report the pro
ceedings for his paper, was really sent
there for another purpose. Happening
to come in contact accidentally OF
course) with Gable delegate from the
lower end of the district, the editor is re-
ported as saying: Why. my friend, you
are making great mistake in supporting
Gable; he will not get labor vote in
Rock Island, and will surely be beaten "
The delegate appeared to be rather
deeply impressed with the statement. and
had not Rock Island county delegate,
who fortunately overheard the conversa~
ton. informed the delegate of the source
of his information. he would undoubtedly
voted against Mr.. Cable and defeated his
nomination.
And still the repu blicans say Mr.. Gable
is a very weak man and that he cannot be
elected. We are willing to let them tod
die this delusion until November.

Deafness Can't be Cured

and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is csused by an insamed con.

you have q rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it il entirely closed
deafness is the res lit, and unless the in

CANON eERNARD's MONEY.

Ex-Sherin Bowe Wins the Suit Brought
 by the Catholic Prsbsndary.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Judge Wallace handed down Q decision to-day in tho United States Court holding that ex- Sheriff Peter Bowe cannot be hold &C., countable for $500, 900 seizure from Leon Bernard, a Canon of the Church of Rome, and also dismissed the suit brought in the name of the Catholic prebendary against Now York's former sheriff.
 The $500, 900 in question Is part of a fortune of g., 500, 900 that had been &C., cumulated by the Bishopric of Tournai, Belgium, in the course of a century. Through change of bishops the great fortune was unearthsd in 1873, when Bishop Dumont, for some offense or other. was suspended by Bishop Dur rousseau.
 The new prelate managed to turn the money over to Cannon Bernard, a priest of the diocese, and the latter took it with him to this country.

 There are rumors of dissatisfaction in the Republican rankslwith the new rules as framed by the Republican memb bers of the Committee on Rules.
 A number of measures were killed by flibustering in the last House on which party limos were not drawn and Republicans who are opposed to certain measures which will undoubtedly have a majority if they come to a vote are said to be opposed to the radical changes proposed by the Committee on Rules. If there should be any opposi- tion in the ranks of the party the rules will be greatly modified before they are agreed to.

CLINToN's TERRIBLE RECORD
Twelve PersoHs Killed and Over Fifty
 tnjured

The Disturban.. Was General Buildings
 and Several Seriously Hurt Twelve
 Thousand OH Derrlcks Blown Down.
 Summary Of tho Havoc Wrought.
 ORIGINATE, Jan. 14.-A fierce north west wind swept over all the coun ties in Kentucky between the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers and as far south as Carroll County, Tennessee. Almost before people realized it the wind storm turned into a cyclone, accom- panied by a deluge of rain.
 Clinton, few miles north of Oak Spring, in Hcckman County, suffered most.
 Here more than fifty buildings, in cluding the Louisville & New Orleans depot the Methodist Church, the Odd Fellows Hall, tho Baptist Church, six stores. both hotels and a score of resi- dcnccs were wrecked. Tho bodies of twelve of the dead were recovered.
 It is now claimed that eight of the bS wounded are so seriously injured that they are not likely to live. At Wiok- life, Ky, some of tho principal busi- ness houses werc wrecked and 20 people wore moro or less injured. A special from Jackson says the cyclone visited Moscow, Ny., and that two persons were killed and four or five wounded at that place.
 Many strange stories are told of the freaks of tho cyclone. A little girl two years old was picked up from the debris of its home, carried 100 feet and deposi- ted in a pool of water, where it narrowly escaped drowning. The infant child of Mir. Gcddis, merchant, was found in its dead fathers arms asleep and un- injured.
 A brick housein Clinton was deprived of it's first story, and the second story settled down upon the foundation as though it had been built there, leaving the inmates un. II urCa.
