P. A. G. Peterson, man OF Swedish
nationality about 45 years of age, attemp-
ted suicide by cutting his wrist at the
police station this morning. Peterson has
been on prolonged spree. He was run
in for drunkenness early this month and
wss fined. His spree then lost him his
Job on the G, B. & O. work train and he
he's since sought to drown his sorrow in
the flowing bowl. On Sunday morning he
came to the police station and gave him
self up, saying that men were after him
of whom he was afraid. The officers saw
at once that he was suffering from q
drunken debauch, and was then on the
verge of the deliriums. He was locked
up and taken care OF, and yesterday was
apparently getting along nicely. When
his supper was brought in last night
he in some way managed to keep
the knife unknown to the attendants,
and this morning becoming possessed of
the idea that two men were in front of his
cell who wanted to hang him, he slashed
himself across the right wrist to end his
existence before they could get hold Of
him. He was discovered few moments
later on the floor of his cell with his wrist
cut, from which the blood flowed pro-
fusely. DR.. G. B. Kinyen was summoned
and found that the main artery had been
severed. and the wonder is that he had
not bled to death before he was discov-
cred. His INJURIES were dressed by the
doctor and he Immediately quieted down
and his mind is now pretty clear again.
He has no relatives in this country and
has been working about the city for sew
ersl months. The man will probably be
kept at the srmory until he RECEIVERS

Inke Notice Mr.. Robinson.

Seeing your challenge in last evenings
ARGUS to match my Notary or 8 year
old PAGER, which challenge while being
very indefinite as 20 conditions, etc, /
nevertheless accept on the following
terms: The match shall take place with
in 30 days or six weeks as you may elect,
the contest to take place on the Rock lei
and race track-which is good enough
for me-the stake to be 500, and l, as a
token of good faith, have this >day de-
posted S25 with THE Rock ISLAND
ARGUS. the match to be with your
Hiatoga stallion, or as long as you have
not mentioned your horse l agree to
match you In free for all contest on the
same conditions. see no reason why
we should wait until the Davenport fair
week, but as it is to be a Rock Island
contest, it should be held in Rock Island.

Id, a
Manager Sage. of the Twin City team,
is busy corresponding with players for
his club. He has already executed con-
tracts with kid" Browner and Putty
zeis of this city. and yesterday signed
John Mackey Of New York City. Mackey
will play third base or center field. Dale,
of Chicago, was also signed this morning
aud will probably play left field. The
directors are now busy looking into the
matter of grounds which will be
put in shape as soon as possible in
order that the home team can gets few
days practice before the opening of the
season. While the home management
want to get their grounds In shape as
soon as possible they seem to favor the
idea of opening the season on the south
ern circuit. 1t is understood that most
OF the grounds down there will be ready
first, and by 30 doing it would give the
upper clubs more time to finish I'D their
grounds.
There has been considerable discussion
here as to the propriety of dou BILE, in
stead of single season. The major
league will this year depart from its usual
lines, and play under what is termed q
double championship season. As the term
indicates. the scheme means division of
the playing season in two series, in each of
which pennant will be contested for and
in the end, should different clubs win the
flags, third championship series will be
played for the special or years pennant.
n this case, the league will present three
distinct championship contests-some-
thing of contrast to the old rule, when
only one dag is in sight all the season
and ten generally obscured to the vision
of all but two or three clubs, who, either
by exceptional playing or lucky streak,
have clustered nesr the top leaving the
remainder of the clubs to struggle for the
minor honors. The Western league has
also adopted TIE same pan, and no doubt
the Ii. will follow suit and be in it with
the rest.

Pitiable TO hay the Least.

A woman. perhaps 60 years of age, was
found by the police on Twentieth street
between Third and Fourth avenues early
this morning in beastly state of intoxi-
cation. She was taken 10 the armory in
the patrol wagon where she abused the
officers roundly for being arrested. She
has been employed in a restaurant on
Second avenue the past few months and
has always heretofore conducted herself
in a very orderly manner. Her employer
states that she was not given to the use
of spirits, and is of the opinion that the
woman has been drugged. Her name is
Scott, and her home is in Iowa, but she
has been working in and about this city
for several months past. She was paid
off last night and made arrangements TO
go to her home in Iowa, but for some un-
known reason she did not get started, and
was found this morning in the above
described condition. She is still under
the influence of the liquor or drug and
seems hardly conscious of her surround
ings.

The meeting of the Columbian sub
committee on canvassing the agricultural
districts, was not attended by all the
members last evening on account OF the
bad weather, although several were pres
ent, and an adjournment was taken until
tonight, when Chairman Sturgeon desires
the attendance of every committeeman at
his office. The committee is composed of;
III. NJ. Sturgeon. R. A. Donaldson, Fred
Hass, Walter Johnson, Henry Carse,
William McEniry and T. s. Silvis.

concerned. Of the reasons given by the
Republicsn-Journal for viewing the mat
ter in such light, one is the reluctance
with which Moline capitalists have inter-
ested themselves; another, Moline does
not take kindly to 81 exposition located
in Rock Island, and another still is, that
seme OF the prominent people of Rock
Island have been foolish enough to say
that the joint effort of the two cities
would be step in tie direction of twin
city consolidation. The way in which

The Postofiice Appropriation Bill

Hatch Tries to Call Up tho Anti-Op'

Brings Business to
Standst still.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June AIN the house
TODAY, the attendance was small and an
attempt to pass several bills developed
no quorum.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the postoffice appropriation
bill, the pending amendment being to
strike out section three, which provides
that land grant roads shall receive for
the transportation OF mails, fifty per
cent. of the compensation charged to
private parties. agreed to-104 to 81.
The chair Wilson of w. va.), sus-
tanned the point of order raised against
an amendment, offered by Wise of (Vir-
einia), repeating the mail subsidy act,
and ruled the amendment out of or
der.
After further amendment the commit.
tee then rose and reported the bill to
the house and it passed.
Hatch of Missouri moved that the
house 90 into committee OF the whole to
consider revenue bills, the object being
to take up the anti-options bill. A
counter motion to adjourn was defeated,
and on motion for recess, no quorum
voted and tellers were ordered.
Then came the sensation OF the ses-
sion in the information given by the
Associated Press of the resignation OF
James G. Blaine as secretary of state.
The pending motion was forgotten.
When the excitement subsidized, the mo-
tion for recess until o'clock was de.
feated. Filibustering tactics consumed
the remainder OF the day, and the house
adjourned without action.
