A Memorial Display.

The London Clothing company has
made reputation in this vicinity for the
elaborate displays which it has placed in
its show windows, but Mr.. Leyeen, who
is the designer of the displays, has now
eclipsed all former efforts. He has shown
his patriotism as well as his exceeding
good taste in arranging show for Me-
mortal day, which consists of a column of
veterans headed By Gan. Sherman on a
charge, the veterans carrying all the ac-
coutrements of the soldiers even to the
we'll known gray blankets, strapped on
their shoulders. The surroundings are q
mass of flags and flowers and other dec
orations which are appropriate on such
occasions. The display is one of the
prettiest ever arranged in Rock Island,
and is indeed credit to the business
portion of the city. The window has a
metropolitan appearance and should be
viewed with the same degree of pride on
the part of our citizens, that is evince
toward the city by the London folks in
preparing it.

Shortly bsfore last midnight q we'll

and when the recipient, who was pretty

fious meaus his pockets had become en-.
tirely depleted OF change, and bills, too,
for that matter.
He first turned his trousers pockets
inside out, then his vest pockets and q.
nally the lining and pockets Of his coat.
Tlen he ripped open the lining Of his
vest, thinking he fslt quarter between
the lining and the outer goods. It
turned out to hs poker check, and the
poor fellow was in an awful sweat.
The bartender had not asked him for
the money nor made any fuss about 1t,
hut the bibuloua individual seemed to
have an Inexplicable adherence OF be-

pocket. book and hunted 1t through for
cash, but It wasn't there. Then he
thought Of postage stamps, but he only
had three tHoa.
AT last an idea struck him. His
countenance lighted up and he seemed
sHaye you blank check ?" he asked
the barkeeper.

Of the proprietor for fifteen cents, with

Bosrox, Jan. 25-There was q mystery
surrounding the death Of EIbridge g.

and there is but little doubt expressed
that the men now confined in the police
station in Hayerhill, Dan Murphy, alias
the Masher, and Frank Woods are muir.
dsrers. The developments Of the past
twenty.four hours have shown that
there are good grounds for the statement
that the murder was the most brutal oil
any ever perpetrated in New HAmp-
shire. The motive OF the murder, the
police say, lay with the wife OF the muir
dered man, who, II not an accomplish TO
the deed, was, they claim, the instigator
Of it.
The cause was an infatuation for Dan
Murphy, who has been working in So.
lem during the past season, and whose
name has been freely connected with
that OF Mrs. Reed by the townspeople.
It was evidently q premeditated and
carefully planned means Of getting the
old man out Of the way and installing
Murphy as master Of the farm, as be
has often boasted he soon would be.
From the police 1t is learned that
they have evidence that the two men
were carried from this city in wagon
to the house OF Mrs Reed about
8 o'clock on Thursday evening; that Mira.
Reed came To the door and greeted
them, giving Murphy the additional
welcome OF kiss; that soon after they
entered the house. Whether from any
real cause or merely for one made as q
pretext is not known, Mr.. Reed and the
two visitors got into quarrel, in which
the former was choked and beaten and
kicked until he was dead. Ills body
was then dragged into the barn and left
where it was found. The two men and
Mrs. Reed hays been arrested.
