THEY STILL RULE.
The Davenport Business Mems Association
Manipulated by the Minority.


At the meeting of the Davenport
Business Mems association last
night, action was again taken
relative to electric cars on
the Rock Island bridges, of
which the Tribune of this morning
says:
F. w. Smith moved to reconsid-
er the resolution adopted at the last
meeting cOndeming the scheme of
running electric cars across the
bridge. He said he was against the
project: but as there had been threats
OF reconsideration, he wanted to
have the matter settled as far as the
association is concerned. The mo-
ton prevailed, and there was a
lenthy discussion: the only one speak
ing in favor of the project being Mr..
Davidson. There was no use argue
ing rs nearly all present were
against the PROJECT AS there were
less than 30 in the rooms. it doesn't
look rs though an expression of the
association had been obtained vet.
The resolution was readopted.
1t looks as if the association was
being manipulated on this question
by the same few who directed the ac-
ton a: the previous meeting. and
that the full voice of the association
Is difficult to obtain on the matter.
That precious few may be able to
rule the Davenport Business Mems
association, but it will not rule the
community when it comes to the
question of the convenience of the
masses as against the interests of a
monopoly that has run things here
for years. and is willing to turn
heaven and earth to fight down COM
| petition in any form.
For the Davenport Business Mems
association it can only be said that
either it has been misinformed as to
facts and has never seen the majority
report of its own committee on rapid
transit. or someone very much inter
ested in the ferry has a great pull
with it. The ARGUS. which does not
feel like Judging its motives too has
tily. i disposed to believe that
the majority resolution referred to
has not been properly brought be-
fore it.
Facts Misrepresented.
This opinion is prompted by the
following. which appears in this
mornings Davenport Democrat:
Mr.. Dawson was in favor of action
being postponed until further time
could be taken for investigation. In
reply it was urged that the matter
was possible that it could be. No
such condition OF affairs existed, al
most. on any other bridge that could
be Notwithstanding on no bridge
traverSed by electric cars-a narrow
roadway that compelled teams to
keep in the street car tracks, railway
trains above on the bridge and be
meath on the viaduct, draw that
compelled frequent closing of the
bridge and consequent blockades.
and so on.
On the contrary the committee
presented abundant evidence from
cities similarly situated to Rock Isl
and Davenport. setting forth under
oath the fact that both electric and
cable cars had been operated on
bridges and had proved invariably as
safe and unobiectionable as horse
cars.

THE SILVER MEN
Out Of Line With Mr.. Crisp Because
Oils Position.

1t is whispered that Speaker Crisp,
who left Washington for home last Fri
day is not in a very cheerful mood
about the coming session. The silver
people are thoroughly out of humor
because he has, as they believe, desert
ed them and gone into the Cleveland
camp.
They have been quietly discussing
the situation as to the speakership and
the suggestion is made that the silver
men, by keeping out of the Democratic
caucus and nominating their own can
didate for speaker, might elect him. 1t
is generally believed the Democrats Of
the House are about equally divided
on the silver question and that q large
proportion of those would so into the
silver caucus on the speakership. Be
sides this there are about a dozen
Populists and silver men, besides half
dozen or more Republicans who are
sufficiently friendly to silver to sup
port for the speakership candidate.
In this view there are some who be.
lieve the silver men could control the
organization of the House against the
anti-silver Democrats alone.

MONEY FOR THE SOUTH.
Twenty-Five Million Dollars to be
Distributed in This Section.

From figures compiled by the Manu-
facturers' Record it is estimated that
not less than $25,000000 will be dis
bursed in interest and dividends by
Southern railways, banks and other
corporations during this month. Near
ly all of this money will go into the
South and its effects will be very ben
eGcial to the general business and
financial situation.
The Southern banks made par
ticularly good showing. Out of III
banks declaring dividends only eight
are paying less than 6 per cent. per
annum, while one declares 40 per cent.
annual interest.

Crushed by A Tree.

A Very singular accident occurred
on the old Chickamauga battlefield
Sunday, resulting in the death of ex-
Alderman Crimmlns and the serious
injury Of Chief OF Police Mitchell, of
Chattanooga. They we're members of
party which had gone out for day
in the woods, and were standing under
a tree to avoid rain, at the same time
holding an umbrella over their heads.
A fierce gust Of wind twisted off the
top of the tree, which fell on the two
men. Crimmins skull was crushed and
Mitchell was badly but not fatally
hurt.

An Arab COurtship.

Bashful lovers are almost an I'M
known curiosity in Ar bia, for Arab,
"courtship" is unceremonious, to say
the least of it. A young man sees a
girl whom he would like to mary in
another tribe. He rides up at night,
finds out where she is sleeping, dashes
up to her tent, snatches her up in his
arms, puts her before HIM on ais horse
and sweeps away like the wind. II he
happens to be caught he is shot if he
is not the tribe from which he has
stolen the girl pays them visit in a
few days. A priest of the tribe joins
the hands of the young MAJ and girl
and both tribes join in the festivities.
Most of the brave men steal their wives
but there are some few peaceloving
youths who do not. On calm moon
light night you may see one of these
latter sitting before the tent OF his
lady-love singing song of his own
composition and playing stringed
instrument something like our banjo
This is his courtship.

Fluctuations in Jay GOuld's Wealth.

Jay Gould's millions are subject to
more ups and downs than is the av-
erage lot of man. When he died he
left stocks valued at$70,0O0,000. These
securities increased in value rapidly
until January 20, when the Gould
estate was worth in the market $12,-
100000 more than when its creator
died. But all that profit and several
millions more besides have been wiped
out by recent events in Wall street.
When the market closed on July sd
the Gould trust securities were worth
100000 less than on the day Jay
Gould died. Even that was better than
their condition month ago. On May
5 the Gould block OF Western Union,
Manhattan and Missouri Pacific was
worth about SCI, 100000, or 100000
less than on December 4, when Mr..
Gould died. The zigzag Of the Gould
millions in the few months makes an
interesting study in big figures. TAX
ing $70,O00,000 as a basis, it is seen
that the estate has touched as high a
limit as $82,OO0,000 and as low one
as SOL 100000, fuctuation OF S2l,'

Little five years old Murrell Rus

Little five years old Murrell Rus
sell died Tuesday morning of
diphtheric laryngitis after only a
few days illness. He was one of
the brightest little boys in town
but so stout and feshy that all
that could be done for him could
not prevent the trachea and
bronchi from filing up with ex-
udation.
The most terrible accident our
citizens have ever had to shock
them occurred Saturday about four
o'clock. Little Leon Sylvester,
the seven year old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. F. Sylvester, and one Of the
Milton boys, were playing on the
railroad track near the bridge. A
long freight going west made it's
appearance and the boys stepped
up onto the grade two OF three
feet from the track, the Milton boy
little the farthest away. The
great hog engine with two or three
cars passed when the draught from
the train caused young Leon to
lose his balance and he fell down
the slope under car; he was
dragged several rods before he fell
under the wheels. The left arm
and head fell on one rail and we're
ground to nothing by the hundreds
Of wheels which passed over them.
The other limbs and bones of the
body were broken and the flesh
torn in many places. No tongue
can describe the look of the stricken
father as he came to identify the
little mangled body he had seen in
perfect health a few hours before,
and no pen can portray the anguish
of that broken-hearted mother who
was never permitted to see how
torn and bruised was the body Of
her little son. It. sent chill q
anguish through every citizen anc
we all extend to the bereavec
parents our lasting sympathy.
