Death of Chief Engineer Kennsdy's
 Only Brother In Meriden Last Even-
 ing.
 MT. John T. Kennedy of Meriden, Conn.,, died last evening at his residence shortly before o'clock. He was the only brother of Chief Kennedy and was much re- spected citizen of that place, having resid- ed there for many years. He was born on Broadway in this city and was sixty-6ve years of age. He was attacked with the grip sons months ago and never fully re- covered, but had been much better of late, 30 much so that he took 8 short stroll on Saturday and hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery. He was, however,
 taken down with a relapse on Sunday and died last evening. Chief Kennedy was 1 hastily summoned to his bedside yesterday
 afternoon, but returned to this city early | in the evening, as his brother was thought not to be in any immediate danger. Hard i ly had he returned before he received a 1 telegram informing him of his brothers i death.
 The deceased leaves wife and one
 daughter, Mrs. John Kirwin of Meriden,
 and a sister, Mrs. Julia Copeland of Brook | lyn, N. Y., to mourn his loss.

BASE BALL ASSURED.

TheAnnua1 Dues R Raised-COnfldence
 in the National Agreement.
 Last night an enthusiastic meeting of votaries of the national sport was held in one of the parlors of the Tontine hotel. Those present were in earnest and proved their earnestness by making substantial additions to the subscription list. For the first time, it may be fairly asserted that the Eastern league will have club in this city. Already nearly the required $S,000 has been contributed, and when the circuit is completed on Wednesday night New Haven will undoubtedly be among the eight clubs chosen.
 Manager Shannon was present and spoke of the splendid. prospect for success which base ball has this year under the national agreement.
 ExManager Burnham explained the benefits that would accrue to the team from the new method of signing players. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Troy, AL bany, New Haven, Providence, and either Elmira, Binghamton or Erie, will com prise the circuit.
 Ex-Manager Burnham will go to the meeting at Rochester to morrow as repre- sentative of Providence and Manager Shan non will represent this city with the $125 necessary for this years dues. The meet ing showed how much confidence was felt that under the new plans under which baseball will be managed this summer, there can be no doubt that the Eastern league will close the season successfully. It has been proposed to play sixty to sev- ,A1,- 1 @71 s,s1 11l into two sections of equal length, at the close of the first season the weaker clubs will be strengthened from fresh talent. If different club comes out ahead in the last section from the one that had the highest percentage in the first series of games will be played to decide the winner.
 The following is a list of the new sub scribers for stock: Frank Maylinger, Myera Bros, Walter Peck, Charles Ii. Miller, Flu gene P. McKenna, F. P. Shanley, Stanley Mansfield.

MEMPHIS FIRE DEPARTMENT

A Visiting Expert Points Out Some of
 Its Weaknesses - What Ex-Chief
 Hendrick of New Haven Says
 The Appeal-Avalanche of Memphis, Tenn, date of March 1st, says
 Inspector A. c. Hendrick, representing the national board of underwriters, was in Memphis yesterday inspecting the fire department of this city in the interest of the national board. Having been chief of the fire department of New Haven for twenty-six years and being a man of large experience and intelligence, he is eminent ly fitted for the position he occupies. He was shown over the city by Chief James Burke, and inspected all the apparatus in the department. To reporter he said that he considered the water phis good, but there is a shortage of hydrants. In New Haven, city of about the size of Memphis, the fire department has 800 hydrants, paying therefor and for other water facilities $22, ,OOO year; while in Memphis with $50 hydrants the city pays $31 ,000 or thereabouts Memphis should have more hydrants. Then there is shortage of men and machinery in this city. Memphis is far behind other cities in this respect. Inspector Hendrick has just made tour of southern cities and unoS Gudt CueJ are all DeCter nXed than Memphis. Nashville has larger and better equipped department than Mem phis; also Charleston, s. O., and even Little Rock, Ark, has better facilities for fighting fires And all these cities are constantly adding to their appar- atus and men. Charleston, where the de- partment is already superior to that of Memphis, is now putting in three new engine companies. Memphis should have eight fire engines in active service and two in reserve; also she should have at least two hook and ladder companies. The Memphis department is also dangerously short of hose, having only some 4, 800 feet, while the least she should have is 10000 feet and 15 ,000 would not be too much. Chief Burke has been for long time pe- the council for more engines. He | asks for two, expects to get one and says | he ought to get three.

Look Out For Roorbacks.

1t is expected that within the two
weeks preceding the election the Repub-
licans will undertake to spring all sorts
of stories about Judge Altgeld. Con-
spicuous among these Will be an attempt
to make it appear that he is in some de-
gree the friend, ally or BENEFICIARY OF
mike" Mcdonald. People who are
acquainted with Chicago politics know
that mike" Mcdonald has been defeated
repeatedly in his precinct within the
last few years. That his influence in the
convention amounts to little or nothing,
and that the assertions supported by
proof that any given candidate on any
ticket is his agent is equivalent to an
assured defeat. Mike" Mcdonald does
not control any element in the Demo-
cratic party in Chicago. Judge Altgeld
has never had any relations with Nc
Donald
During the Cleveland administration
Judge Altgeld was classed with the anti
gang Democrats. The accusation that
Judge Altgeld is Socialist and at the
same time in alliance with Mike" Nc
Donald is a possibility that nobody ex-
cept persons who are stupidity unac-
quainted with Chicago politics and Hi
nois affairs generally, would give a
moments credence to. Mike" Melon
aid never had any use for Altgeld for the
reason that he could not control him,
but Mcdonald has frequently made the
assertion that nobody could get there
quicker than he himself could. When
it became apparent that Altgeld would
be elected Mcdonald supported him and
rushed to the front and endeavored to
make it appear that he was doing the
principle part of the work.
As matter of fact up to the last min
ute Mcdonald was for General Black for
governor Those Democrats who at
tended the state convention will recall
this as being the fact.

TIE ARGUS is in receipt of letter
from Thomas Kerr, formerly Of Milan,
now located at Minneapolis. to which
city he recently moved. in which he says:
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Oct. 24.-EDI
TOR ARGUS: I intended to CAL at THE
ARGUS Office before lesving Rock Island,
and have my paper sent to this place. but
business was such that could not pos
sibly get in. regret very much to leave
Illinois so nesr a presidential election
and lose my vote, not because my vote
was needed in Illinois. for 1 believe the
state is safely democratic. but regret to
lose my vote for the first time since 1
cast my first ballot for Martin Van Bu-
rem in 1886, and there is not hole in my
blanket up to the present time.
The democrats are alive up here. l at
tended the Mills meeting in this place
Saturday night. And l think it was the
largest political meeting ever attended.
TIE exposition building has IL, 600
chairs and before 8 o'clock every chair
was u?ie1 and v y inch OF standing
ground was taken up when the torch light
came round there was not spot fer one
of them TO get in. and the estimation was
between four and five thousand. 1t was
really grand success.
In conclusion Mr.. Kerr asks that THE
ARGUS be sent TO his address.

Fail to do Our Duty.

Every body has at times failed to dc
their duty toward themselves. Hun
dreds of lady readers suffer from sick
headache, nervousness. sleeplesness and
female troubles. Let them follow the
example of Mrs. 81. Herbechter, Stevens
Point. Wis, who for five years suffered
greatly from nervous prostration and
sleeplessness, tried physicians and differ
ent medicines without success. But one
bottle of DR.. Miles Nervine caused sound
sleep every night and she is feeling like a
new person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler.
Laramie City, Wyoming. who tried all
other remedies. declares that after three
weeks use of the Nervine for headache,
nervous prostration. etc. she was en-
tirely relieved. Sold by Hsr,z s. Bshn-

speaker entered into an able discussion
Of the question CT q protective tariff. and
submitted several telling arguments
showing the Inconsistency Of the repub-
lican purity when the line they now sub
NIT to GO by is followed out to its
logical conclusion. He exposed
| the fsllacy of"the foreigner pays the tax"
| bugahoo and showed how it effects the
| farmer and laborer to whom it is an un>
just burden. In closing he spoke Of the
dead issues that are ut times planted in
| the face OF the younger democrats, and
said they had '.een settled and settled
right and that there could be no occasion
for resurrecting them. After express
ing his confidence in de [ ocra;;c success
he closed his address.
His RI marks were given the closest at
tentioD by the large audience and deeply
impressed his hearers. His manner of
delivery is easy, not woId was spoken
that could have offended any republican
p -esent of which there we're good
many.
G. III. Morrison of Chicago q nephew
of Ron W. R. Morrison was in the
audience and al attentive listener.
Political Notes.
Tonight Mr.. Plantz speaks at Moline
and Guy G. Scott talks at Illinois City.
All good democrats should cast three
votes for j. II. Mulligan for Representa-
tive on election day. 1t is dangerous
policy to risk single vote on an indt-
pendent can fidate. and it is good plan
this year 10 sit down On a candidate, who
having failed to receive e party nomin =
ton. ,es before the people afterws,d as
boiling candidate.

The Tuesday Evening Concert.

Rock ISLAND. Oct 27.-EDrToR AR
GUS: The iadies who we're instrumental
IN bringing Mr.. Sherwood here. as well
as the large audience in attendance. suf-
fered a grievous disappointment on Tues
CAV evening owing to the extreme dis
comfort of the theatre. The committee
of ladies who engaged the theatre for the
occasion expected the house to be heated
and made conf ortable, hut not a spark of
fire was srted The Union this moro
ing calls it stupid blunder" on the
part OF the theatre management, but the
opinion of the people who were made to
suffer is theJ it was an inexausable out
rage. The eminent artist was put at a
great disadvantage and could not
do himself Justice The aud
fence in the cold, could not enjoy the
programme as they otherwise would have
done, and mIny of them were made sick.
The affair euphasizos the need in Rock
Island Of Il new hall, where our ladies
and people who wish to encourage a bet
ter class of entertainment can receive re-
spectful consideration.
Mr.. Sherwood intended to return to-
Chicago on the 1887 train Immediately
after the concert, but owing to the dis,
comfort he had suffered from the cold
while playing, he remained until the next
train at l :O5 An. repairing in the mean
while to the home of Rev and Mrs 81 c.
Marshall. where in a warm room he
played until IL 80. to the great delighs of
the inmates Of the home, giving many of
the numbers that he is to play in a con-
cert in Chicago this evening, and showed
himself to be the great master of the
piano that he is. O
