Exciting Runaway.

At little before six p. m. last
night, team of large white horses
attached to a City Brewery beer
wagon full of beer kegs, started on
South Flores street, and smashed
Diaz's delivery cart. Continuing up
North Flores street, the team struck
the hind wheel of road scraper
used by the county commissioners.
This was nearly wrecked by the col
ltsiOn which threw one of the runa-
ways head over heels in the street
and of course stopped the team.

THE WATER POWERPLANT
Are the Holmes People EndeavOr
ing to Buy It?
Possibility of a system of Pr0prliing
Railways from the Sears Dam 1.-The
situation as IL Looks.

The ARGUS of last Thursday announced
the incorporation of company with
$3.50. 900 capital for the development OF
the Rock river water power owned by
the Messrs. Sears. G. B. Holmes and
his associates in the Chicago street rail-
way syndicate, owning the best lines in
the tri-cities were in the city on that
day. While Mr.. Holmes is not friendly
to electricity as a motive power in the
methods thus far developed. he is Away s
on the lookout for something that will
benefit his street railway service, and he
became interested in the water power
deal, asked great many questions about
it. and then went out and inspected it.
Since his return to Chicago there has
been a good deal of quiet negotiation.
the outcome of which has not
yet been reached, but it is be.
lieved the Holmes syndicate has realized
the possibilities of the utilizing of that
power as means of rropellihg street
cars and is attempting to get possession
of it. OF course, if this is the aim of the
Chicago capitalists it will settle all ques-
tons as to the future power in the tri.
CITY lines, and while the syndicate has re-
peatedly announced the probable success
of other methods, expert mental tests of
which have involved an outlay of SAC, 900
already, electricity would be the power
adopted if the water power were pur-
chased by Mr.. Holmes.
1t can very readily be seen what an ad,
vantage would accrue from an economic, ,
al standpoint TO own the water power for
electricity where there are so many lines
as MIR. Holmes possesses in Rock Island,
Davenport and Moline, and under the
condition of ownership of that power the
syndicate could more reasonably abandon
its hopes OF a future power more accepta>
BILE than the electricity in its present
form. OF course it remains to be seen
whether or not the syndicate will come
into possession of this power, and con
tingent upon this will be its polio y
whether TO adopt electricity or pursue it s

tageous.

ONE STRONG POINT GAINED

land Pubic BUILDING Moline Har.
Dor Prospects not Bright.
The Chicago Herald contains among
other Washington dispatches two tele-
grams that are of special interest to this
locality. One is of an exceedingly grati-
fying nature and pertains to Rock Is
lands public building. 1t is ss follows:
Supervising Architect Windrin has
made the following report on the meas
ure submitted for his opinion to provide
for the erection of public building in
the city of Rock Island:
From computations made in this Of
flee it is found that a suitable site can he
procured and public building. about go
feet by 100 feet in dimensions, two
stories high. with basement of fire proof
construction, including heating appara-
tus. vaults, elevator service and ap-
proaches. can be erected thereon for
$500. 600 After duly considering the
subject, am of the opinion that such q
building will afford proper accommoda-
tions for the present and prospective
needs of the government offices to be 10
Gated therein, and that said bill should
become a law"
The other is in reference to the Moline
harbor improvements and is appended in
full:
The chief of engineers has submitted
the following report on the survey of
Moline harbor with a view to determin-
ing whether the harbOr be worthy of im-
provements by the general government:
Moline is very important mdnufactu-
ring city and shipping point At the
present time nearly all of the shipments
and receipts are by rail. What proper
ton of such shipments and receipts
would he affected by water transportation
if safe and convenient landing were
available it is impossible to determine;
but enlarging the facilities for water
shipments would undoubtedly benefit the
manufacturers of Moline and the city
generally, by increasing the effect of
water competition on railroad rates
While desirsbility of good and conven
lent harbor at Moline eff it be practicable
TO have one at reasonable expense" must
be acknowledged, the enormous cost
which would attend the construction of a
hsrbor at the locality proposed and the
approach thereto. 80 that the largest
steam craft on the upper Mississippi may
be able to land at the lowest stages of
water. and the other facts presented. lead
me to the conclusion that Moline city
harbor is not worthy of improvement by
the general government.
