The Rock Island Lecture associa-
ton will give its closing entertain
ment on next Thursday evening at

mentarv entertainment to all holders
of season tickets. The reserying of
seats will be at Armory hall Tuesday
evening at 1880, when reserved seat
tickets will be exchanged for season
tickets free of charge. Tickets to

tertainments. 1t is hoped that all
who purpose attending the course of
1s9S-94 will be prepared to subscribe

Church SOcialS.

The sixth annual popcorn festival
of the Christian church was held at
Armory hall last evening. The hall
was deliberately and tastefully draped
with bunting. a large amount of the
tlakey white cereals being sold. A mu-
steal programme, interspersed with
recitations charmingly rendered by
little Edna Wright, made the even
ing a very pleasant one for all and at
the same time Melted n neat sum for
the church.
The Epworth League gave its an
nual entertainment at the parlors of
the First NJ. f. church last evening
which was quite largely attended.
After supper had been served came
happy responses to several toasts, the
affair proving n decided success in
every particular.
The Red Riding Hood entertain
ment given at the South Park chapel
last evening was very pleasant oc-
casion. The characters were all well
taken and the impression created was
a meritorious one 1t will be repeat
ed this evening by request.

MABEL LAGRANGE'S STORY
The Woman Guilty of Thursday Nights in
fanticide and Others Involved.

The Woman Guilty of Thursday Nights III
ranticide and Others Involved.
The Davenport Democrat in con-
nection with its description of the
drowning by Mabel LAGRANGE of Mi
Ian of her infant child in the river
Thu sday night, gives this additional
Information:
About three weeks ago young
woman called at the residence of
County Physician DeArmand and
asked to be sent to Mercy hospital as
she soon expected to become a
mother. She explained her request
by saying that she had been to the
hospital but having no money she
was directed to the county for assist
ance. She said she had married
Oliver fireman at Muscatine one year
ago. but that he lived only couple
of months. Previous to his death
they had lived n few miles out of
Davenport. She even named the doe
tor who was in attendance upon Ire
man during his sickness. After her
husbond'S death she worked for var
ious people in and about Davenport.
All OF her people. she said were dead
Wisconsin. and he was very poor.
She gave her maiden name as Mabel
LaGrange. said her home had been
in Pleasant Valley township; that her
father. mother and Il number of sis
tiers were dead.
At "A Davenport Hospital.
There being apparently no home for
the woman, she was sent to the hospi-
tai. On investigation it was learned
that the girl eloped with a young
man named fireman year or two ago,
that they reported Il marriage SER
vice which was doubted at the time.
fireman afterward left. and consider
ing the youth of the woman, it is
doubtful if any marriage ceremony
was ever performed without parental
sanction, and none was ever given.
The woman's father and family live
at Milan In view of these facts the
woman was informed that she would
have to 90 to her home and could
not be kept at the county's expense.
She was at the hospital two days, left
without a protest and evidently went
home But for careful investigation
her magnificent nerve and artistic
living would have carried her through.

and his attentions to Mabel were not

BASE BALL.
President Kent Says the League Will Rest
This Season-Stockweil at Work

From all present indications there
will be no base ball in the II league
this year, although the league will
continue over as an organization I'M
til next season. President Kent has
been in correspondence with the var
ious club presidents of the league for
some time and has found so little in
terest in the matter and the season
has gotten so late that he has sent
out the following letter to the differ
ent clubs, copy having been re-
ceived by President Hodges, of the
Rock Island-Moline club:
JACKSONVILLE, H., April 4.-Gen
tlemen:-It has been decided jointly
by the Rockford, Rock Island Moline
and Jack sonville Base Ball associa-
hons that we will make no more eff
forts to organize the IL. league to
put teams in the field for 1898. /
have taken it upon myself to notify
the Sporting Times of Philadelphia
and the Sporting News of st. Louis,
to this effect, and we will keep our
organization in force and call meet
ing at the regular time in January,
1894, to confer for that year.
Yours truly.
w. w. KENT,
President IL. Base Ball League.
StockwelI Hopeful Nevertheless.
Len Stockwell, the well known base
ball player. who was largely instru-
mental in starting team here last
season. has been about this city and
Davenport and Moline during the
past few days with n view to getting
up another league. He has met with
considerable encouragement in each
town and there may yet be leagu
started. Stockwell's plan is to hav
Davenport and Rock Island-Molin
each have team and then with
one from jacksonville, Rockford.
Peoria and Burlington il
would make short circuit
of good towns. BY this plan it is
thought that an unusual interest
could be gotten among these three
towns and series being played in
each place in succession would save
the expense of a jump in railroad
fare. Then again players can be had
on much more reasonable terms this
year, and altogether it is thought that
as park is already located in most
of the towns mentioned. a league
could be conducted on n much more
economical basis. With the warm
spring days base ball interest will
revive and now is the time to make
preparations if any league is to be
started.

TRACK TRAFFIC.
Items of Interest to Railroad Men-Perso-
nal and Other Mention.


A new flag shanty for Flagman f.
Swain. who is now stationed at the
foot of Eighteenth street, is being
built at Beardstown. 1t has been
suggested that it would not be Il bad
idea to have all fiagmen uniformed
and sworn in to do police duty as is
done in many places. 1t may not be
generally known, but it is n fact that
fiagmen often meet with obstinate
and unrulv characters who seem to
take particular delight in doing just
what they should not do, and it is
generally done. too, by those who
realize that flagman is not vested
with full police authority. To obvi-
ate this difficulty and give better
protection to the public it is becom-
ing the custom to swear them in and
uniform them so that their demands
will be instantly needed.
New Freight House Probable.
Another evidence of the interest
the Rock Island road is taking in the
city is the fact that the company is
seriously contemplating the erection
of a new freight depot at the loca-
ton of the present one. The plan is
understood to be to build an extern
sion on the west end of the present
structure. which will extend out to
Twentieth street and be occupied for
offices. the present building to I've
used for storehouse. Plans have
not vet been definitely decided upon,
but, the work will in all probability
be done

J. G. Sickles is now chief train dis
patcher of Illinois divisions OF the
Rock Island in addition to his duties
as trainmaster. +. M. Rain is assis-
tant chief dispatcher at night. The
change was made on account OF the
short division from Blue Island to
Chicago.
At the meeting of the presidents of
the Western Passenger and Western
FREIGHT association held in Chicago
on March 25, it was decided to allow
no more transportation as an induce
ment for business, which will result
in large number of passes being
called in on several roads.
The Baldwin Locomotive works
were established in 1881. For the
first thirty years. mp to 1861, they
had turned out one thousand locomo-
tive engines. 1t took them just eight |
wears to complete their next thous-
and engines. The third thousand
were completed during the next three |
years. The fourth thousand were |
added in the ensuing four years, the |
next thousand four years later; still |
another thousand during the sue
ceeding two years, the next thousand
in the year following, and now they
seem to be pushing for the 1000 per
annum mark.

Insane on Ono Point

Erskine mentions case where person
who had been confined in an asylum pro
secuted his brother and the proprietor for
Imprisonment and false duress The pres
ecutor, himself witness in support of the
Indictment, was put into the witness box
and examined. When Erskine came to cross
examine him, he tried to discover some lurk-
ing alienation of mind, but during a cross
examination, conducted with all the skill
and sagacity of which he was master for
nearly an hour, he was completely foiled.
But q gentleman who had come acciden-
tally into court whispered in Erskine's ear
that the witness thought he was the Saviour
of mankind.
On receiving the hint Erskine made a
low bow to the prosecutor, addressed him
In terms of great reverence, respectfully
begged to apologize for the unceremonious
manner in which he had treated person Of
bis sacred character and called him by the
name OF Christ. The man Immediately
said: Thou hast spoken truly. am the
