A Heroic Rescue.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Fireman John
Marks of this city has distinguished
himself by rushing into burning tene-
nent at 496 Seventh avenue and snatch
ing from the flames Mrs. Lizzie White,
colored, and her 3-year-old babe. The
woman was hanging half way out the
window on the fifth floor of the building
and was about to jump when Marks saw
her. Placing a wet sponge in his mouth
he dashed through the binding smoke
and up the five flights of winding stairs,
grabbed the woman and by main force
carried her safely to the street The
stairway fell in just as he reached the
landing.
Marks was severely burned about the
shoulders. The colored woman was
nearly suffocated, but she was restored
to consciousness at a neighboring drug
store. A crowd of 1000 persons wit
messed the heroic rescue.

Senator Irby Talks Politics,

New YORK, Feb. Ex-senator j. l..
Nj. lrby of South Carolina is at the
Sturtevant house. The new senator is
tall, powerfully framed man. with
smoothly shaver round face and strong
features. He is member of the Farm
ers' Alliance and is chairman of the State
Democratic committee. He talked of
the political situation in South Carolina
with reporter. When the wave swept
over the state in 1890, which washed out
the old time Democratic managers and
resulted in the election of Governor
Tillman, he said there followed dispo-
sition on the part of some prominent
Democrats to maintain factional oppo-
sition to Governor Tillman. The party
was not united during the year that fol-
flowed and until quite recently, up to
about ten days ago, | had thought that
there would be split in the party which
would result in an opposition candidate
to Governor Tillman.
rs the Alliance as strong as it was two
years ago? he was asked.
Il think it is, he said: 1.-THE Alliance
in that state Is chiefly composed of men
who have been Democrats all their
lives. They are Democrats now. | am
a member of the Farmers Alliance and
was elected as Farmers Alliance and
reform candidate to the senate, but
have always been a Democrat and am a
Democrat today. The Alliance will not,
as a political party, count very heavily;
it does not have strong inclination for
ticket of its own in tho field"
Whom do the Democrats of the state
favor as presidential candidate?"
1T is hard to say who is the favorite
of the rank and file of the party. The
leading newspapers of the state and
those leaders of the party who We're in
control from about 1876 to 1890 are in
favor of Cleveland. The papers have
strongly expressed themselves, and in
my judgment the position of the old-time
leaders is clearly defined for the expires
ident. do not think it safe to say that
the rank and file of the party are for
Hill. There has been no occasion yet
which has given opportunity for an ex-
preston on this subject"

BENJAMIN HARRISON
ANNOUNCED FOR REELECTION FOR
PRESIDENT

BY Hon. Steve EIkins, who Thinks His
Man VIII BE Nominated and Elected,
Too-senator Irby on the situation in
South Carolina.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-A morning
paper states that the Hon. Stephen b.
Elkins, secretary of war, has announced
In a letter to personal friend here in
New York that President Harrison is a
candidate for denomination. The secre-
tary added that the president would
moreover be the choice of the NIinneap-
oils convention, and furthermore that he
would be reelected.
This is the first authentic information
that the president is candidate for re-
nomination, although everybody was
convinced of it. That the secretary had
sent such letter was known at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel last night. There
were various comments devoted partjc-
ularly 70 the prophetic decision of the
letter.
There happened to be Republican
United States senator at the hotel Just as
the discussion over the secretary's letter
was at an interesting height. Further
than to say it was not Senator Hiscock,
the reporter is not at liberty at present
to give his name. He had no objection
though to having his sentiments printed.
They We're: AS soon as the presidents
name ispresented to the Minneapolis con
venuion half dozen of the most bril-
liant orators of the Republican party west
of the Allegheny mountains will take
turns in opposing his denomination
They will assure the convention that the
president cannot be reelected. With
the west and south arrayed against the
president | cannot see why Elkins has
undertaken the contract with which he
seems to have burdened himself.

Not Going to NIexico.

New ORLEANS, Feb. S.-President
Paul Conrad of the Louisiana State Lot
terry company was asked with reference
to the report that the lottery was going
to Mexico. He said this story was false
and was evidently started by an enemy
of the company or for the purpose Of
booming the Mexican lottery. The lot
terry will continue here until the expira-
ton of its charter, and after that time
it will not seek home anywhere.

A DEAR BABY
Is Claimed Bv Two Women in a Kentucky
Court.

Court.
LOUISVILLE. Feb. 1S.-A sensational
suit over a baby was heard and decided
in the chancery court. Amanda Nc
Cauley, spinster, petitioned the court
for the custody of a child which has
hitherto passed and, by the decision rem
dered at the close of the hearing, still
passes as the lawful child of John Ulrich
and his wife. The theory of the petit
toner represented that Mrs. Ulrich was
anxious to pass off this baby as her own
for the purpose of deceiving her hus-
band. The respondents, Mr. Ulrich and
his wife, maintained that the suit had
been entered upon from vindictive mo-
lives, consequent upon the rejection from
the Ulrich household of the petitioner
and her sister, Mrs Knott. The evidence
attracted much interest, so unusual was
the case. The infant itself appeared in
court i'll the arms of tie Ulrich mother.
Miss McCauley is from Marion county.
She came here and gave birth to child
about year ago at the city hospital,
A month later, she testified, Mrs. Ulrich
adopted the baby to deceive her hus-
band. The husband, Ull1ch, testified
that he was the father of the youngster.
He had been telephoned to, and was met
at the door by the nurse. who called him
papa" Mrs. Ulrich declared she was
the mother of the child. Chancellor
Edwards gave Mrs Ulrich the baby
amid the appeals of Miss McCauley fol
her child.

wounded here while lighting a blast in
a cistern. 1t went off before he could

the men on Saturday night, and the
case has been set for hearing Tomorrow
morning before Magistrate Wivill.
O'Connell had previously sworn out q
warrant before Milan justice charging
Allies with assault, as he claims that the
latter was the first sggressor and that
his action was in self defense. Allies
hearing will probably come up later.

THE YOUNG DEMOCRACY.
Steps Taken Looking to the Forma.
ton of a Local Club.
Last Nights Meeting at Turner Hail
and its Object-A Temporary Or
sanizatiOn.

In response to the call of Oh airman
Wheelan of the democratic city central
committee. large number of young
democrats assembled at Turner hall last
, e7eningto consider proposition looking
to the formation of young mems demo-
cratic club.
Chairman Wheelan called the meeting
to order and explained at length the pur-
pose of the meeting. 1t was to adopt
measures tending toward the formation
of young mems democratic club, the
object being social political advancement
and the incubation and furtherance of
democratic principles.
The meeting organized with the elec-
ton of L. g. Blanding as temporary
chairman and B. D. Lamont as secretary,
and after further discussion it was de-
cided to adjourn until Thursday evening.
June 9, it being decided in the meantime
to enlist the membership of all Young men
who are in sympathy with democratic
principles, or who may desire to affiliate
with the party.
That the organization when perfected
will enlist the membership and co-opera
ton of all intelligent young democrats. it
is fair to presume. On the eve of a
great campaign on national and state
issues the party was never better equip
ped or attended by more hopeful pros
poets, than this year. On the presiden-
tisl ticket the party has only to place the
right man to win, while in Illinois it is q
conceded fact that Judge Altgeld will
bury Private Joe 50 deep that he will
never be heard of again. On the con-
gressionsl ticket there are none who
claim any knowledge of political affairs
in the Eleventh district who doubt that
! Congressman Gable will be reelected
should he consent to denomination
which will be rendered him by the unsni-
nous voice of the party. With such
glowing prospects ahead of them it is
small wonder that the younger members
of tie party should give expression this
early to their enthusiasm, loyalty and
determination to be n it with the rest of
them in the fight that is before us.
The democratic party has the intelli-
gent and practical side of the issue in its
declaration for tariff reform. 1t is the
party of intelligence and progress, and in
telligent and progressive young men are
flotking to its standard. Hence the &C,
ton of the young democracy of Rock
Island.

THE j. s. E. ROAD.
An Effort Being Made 10 Secure the
h-n,rance Of the Line into Galt s.

An Effort Being made 10 Secure the
h-n'rance Of the Line into Gal, s.
burg.
In Galesburg strong effort is being
made to persuade the j. s. E. line 10
enter that city. The Mail of that city
says:
W. s Gale received letter from Pres
ident Hook, of the Jacksonville road, this
morning, in answer to one sent to him
last Saturday, and in which it was sta
ted that in case the road should come
through Galesburg that this city would
furnish the right of way and depot
grounds. In his letter to Mr. Gale the
president Of that road states that he is
glad TO know that Gslesburg has woke
up 10 the fact that the road would be
benefit to her. He further said that if
the city would guarantee the right OF
way in depot grounds that the line would
be brought through here. This
piece of news is quite encouraging TO
the gentlemen who have the matter of
corresponding with the officials of the
road in charge. There is no denying the
fact that Galesburg wants the road and
it they will succeed OF course it will
| require a vast amount of work to secure
the right of way. but the gentlemen
thing 1t can be done, and another meet
ing for talking the matter over will prob
ably be held soon 1t would not be sur
prising if the Jacksonville 6 Southeast
ern trains were running in here before
another spring rolls around.
The Davenport Tribune suggests i'll
the same connection:
Now if Davenport could offer the Jack
sonville Southeas ern company
| bridge charter with preliminary surveys
and help to build it, that much together
with what Rock Island is doing would
doubtless give us "sinch" on the pro-
posed Jacksonville Southeastern eX-
tension. A charter has been granted for
the construction OF a bridge which
| of necessity would bring it out at east
one mile below the present government
bridge. The landing on the Illinois side
would be just about where the citizens of
Rock Island are endeavoring to secure
ground for the yards of the proposed ex-
tension Iof the Jacksonville tSoutessts
| ern road. This landing on the Illinois
side is not only near where Rock Island
| expects to have the Jacksonville South
eastern yards located, but is also near the
Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy yards.
This latter company q few years ago were
willing to build help build, q bridge
| across the river at this point if the people
of Davenport would promise them rea-
sonsble amount of support and patror-
age. There certainly can be no reason
| why the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
would not now be willing to make the
same proposition again.

the round trip.
The Diamond 10 line is out with its
time card for the month of June, and it is
a surprising fact that the name Rock ISIS
and is scrupulously avoided among the
cities where the boats are supposed to
land, while other cities are mentioned, in
comparison with which Rock Island is
known where they have never been heard
of. If the 10 line wants business in Rock
Island it must let the people here know
when its boats are to be expected here by
inserting the city's name on its time card
There was rise of seven inches in the
river last night, and from the reports
that come from up the river much higher
water may be expected. The water is
creeping pretty well up toward the rail-
road tracks again, but no serious damage
is yet being done. The river is full of
drift, the result of the rise up above.

their part. Next week the chorus OF
six hundred adults will commence prac,
tice. Let every singer in the two cities

reserved seat for the fireworks and
help to swell the greatest chorus ever
heard in the Mississippi valley.

1t is the realization of 4 state of affairs
very much to be regretted that the
branch of the federal service in Rock
Island over whose destinies modest Mr..
Wells presides, must once in 80 often be-

The latest source of annoyance is the de-
Jay suffered in the delivery of mail de-

of this-and it is only one of many-was
the receipt by a Rock Island business
