ASerious Accident.

Yesterday morning Herbert, the
five-year-old son of Mr.. A. j. Miller,
while in the planning mill of Messrs.
Koiner g. Bush, fell from a pile of
lumber, alighting near buzz saw,
which struck his leg and severed the
flesh to the bone just below the knee.
He was taken to the Office of Drs.
Koiner and Gale where his wound
was dressed, and thence conducted TO
his home in the western part of the
city, where he was resting quietly at
last accounts. The bone was not in
jured. and consequently while the
wound is very painful one, it is not
regarded as necessarily dangerous.

NEW YORK, July 11.-News has been re-
seived from the island of Martinique,
dated June 20, stating that on that day a
fire swept over the town of Fort de France
The cause of the fire is attributed by some
to kerosene, and by others to Dutch
stove. In the opinion of many, had
prompt measures been taken and the sur
rounding houses been blown up, the town
would have been saved The loss is very
considerable, LOO houses having been
destroyed, valued at 1900, 900 francs a.

To the ARGUS:
The Carpenters union of Rock Island
at their last meeting considered Mr.. John
Volk's statement in regard to union men
working ten and twelve hours per day
We wish to state to the public that this
is false. Union men only work nine
hours per day and for all over and above
the same all union men must receive time
and half. During the previous hot week
men that were working outside com
menced early in the morning and laid off
during the hottest part Of the day. as the
union bosses were 30 rushed with work
that they could not spare their men to
lay off. No doubt this is the source from
which Mr.. Volk gave his statement.
Now to show Mr.. Volk's generosity We
would state in giving his men an hour on
Saturday. he begins work thirteen min
utes before one o'clock every day to
make this hour up.
Mr.. Volk was at q loss to know what
to do with that hour of steam which he
would lose by giving his men the hour
on Saturday, hence he has arranged his
scheme of thirteen minutes per day.
Therefore. the Carpenters union does
not wish to be misrepresented. believing
that the public generally does appreciate
the just demands of nine hours which all
bosses granted except Volk & Co.,

Wallace s. Cos. combined railroad
shows made their first appearance IN
Rock Island today and created general
surprise in the variety and elegance OF
their equipment and the completeness of
detail in every department. The parade
this morning was excellent in all respects.
The horses are q grand show in them
selves. The chariots, wagons and cages
looked bright. fresh and new. 1t was

massive spectacular professional ava

of monster elephants and camels, the
huge monarcbs of the brute creation
forming q fine termination of the hand
some pageant.
Inside the tents, which are pitched in
Rodman's pasture, on Moline avenue and
Twenty.seventh street, the attractions
attain high standard of merit. The
menagerie contains a multitude of dens
and cages, which must have cost for
tune in themselves. filed with the finest
specimens of the animal kingdom from
every cline on the face of the globe.
The circus department was all. and in
fact more, than was advertised. In the
two rings and on the elevated stage, new
and novel acts were introduced in rapid
succession The bareback riding by
both ladies and gentlemen was grand and
marvellous. The clowns were funny in
the extreme. and kept the audience 10
roars of laughter throughout the entire
performance. The aerial performances
were far in advance of anything of the
kind ever seen htre-as startling, aston-
ishing and amazing as they were novel.
The entire circus performance wac
blended with new and novel features.
