As to the CoIIeciors3ip
Side Talk.

At last nights meeting of the city
council the usual routine business
was gone through with. An ordi-
nance was passed providing for the
sale of the Franklin and Gilpin hose
house property. An ordinance was
also passed for the improvement Of
Twenty-third street to point south
of Ninth avenue. The special COM
mittee to whom was referred the city
attorneys report upon the occu-
pancy of First avenue, made its re-
port and discussion followed on its
immediate adoption, Fred Hass be-
ing extended the courtesy of being
heard on the matter. There were
hot words between Aid. Kennedy and
Mr.. Hass, the mayor calling them to
order the report being laid over un-
der the rules.
Decidedly the event of the evening
was the colloquy between the two
gentlemen mentioned. Mr.. Hass was
of the opinion that the alderman was
attempting to retard the measure,
and took occasion to state that it APP
peared that way at least. The other
resented the insinuation with langu-
age that might have provoked a pas
sage at arms or an affair of honor,
but peace finally asserted itself

Afraid to Drop Them.

Mayor McConoehie is deeply inter-
ested in keeping Koehler and Haas on
the ticket with him in order to draw
some German support. But they are
little too liberal in their views to
suit the crowd which is dominating
republican politics in this city and
county at the present time, and there
is considerable opposition to their
nomination. But it is probable that
the mayor can pull them through. as
he has explained to his patriotic
friends that it will be impossible to
win without them.

Police Points

The police brought one John Kin
neatly over from Davenport last eve
ming. where he had been arrested for
attempting to pawn an overcoat
which he had stolen in Rock Island.
The prisoner proved the same sneak
thief who had taken pair of over
shoes and fur cap from Wheelan's
undertaking rooms during the day.
He is also probably responsible for
other petty thefts about town
A number of houses have been in
vaded in Rock Island in the past few
days. but as a rule nothing has been
taken, and the intrusions have been
attributed mainly to the Gypsy gang
that is still in the community.

A BRAVE ACT.
Engineer stranger, of the Rock Island,
Risks His Life to Save His Engine.


Risks His Life to save His Engine.
The Chicago Herald contains the
following relating to the brave act of
the well known Rock Island engineer,
whose home is in this city:
Owing to misplaced switch col
lision occurred on the Rock Island
road Yesterday morning at 9 O'Clock
between the suburban train known as
the Blue Island dummy and an en-
CINE which was backing down to take
a passenger train. Both engines
were badly damaged, but owing to
the courageousness of Samuel
Stranger, the engineer of the light
engine, no passengers on the subur-
ban train were seriously hurt, though
they received shaking.
The passenger train drawn by en-
pine 458, with Engineer Lockwood at
the throttle, was approaching Forty
fifth street at the usual speed, and
engine 913, with Sam Stranger, was
backing down. The switch was open
and Strangers engine ran on to the
main track. Both engineers saw that
a collision was inevitable, and Lock
wood and his fireman jumped. The
fireman of 913 also leaped from the
engine, but Stranger stuck to his
post and reversed his engine. 1t was
too late to avoid smash and the two
locomotives came together with great
force. Stranger was thrown several
wards by the force of the collision,
but picked himself up unhurt, while
Lockwood sprained his ankle in
jumping.
The passengers on the train were
badly scared and shaken up, but no
casualties were reported.

Likelihood That the Matter viii Come Up
at Springfield This Week.

week.
Today's Chicago Herald has
Springfield dispatch which says:
The democrats say that they will
probably be able to reach an agree
ment this week on bill to reappor-
ton the congressional districts of
the state. The matter of congress
sional apportionment has been de-
layed under one pretense or another
until this time in order to give the
democratic members of congress an
opportunity to be present and ex-
plain their views. 1t is expected
that Congressman Forman, Fithian.
Williams, Lane, Scott and Cable will
arrive here tomorrow or next day.
The democratic members of the leg
islature say they have no doubt the
congressman viii be able to agree
upon a congressional apportionment
bill that will be satisfactory to all
concerned.
What Mr.. Cable Wants
Whatever bill the congressman
recommend will be passed by the
legislature. Unfortunately. the
prospect of an agreement among the
congressman is not as bright as it
might be, owing to report that Ben
Cable is coming here with the deter
mination to have Rock Island county
put into democratic congressional
district. In order to accomplish
this it will be necessary to have a
shOestring district running down the
Mississippi river from Rock Island
county to aud including Adams coun-
ty. If Cable should succeed in hav-
ing such a district mapped out it
would disarrange all the other dis
tricts in the state and would necessi-
tate the preparation of an entirely
new apportionment plan. 1t is al
most certain that if Cable insists on
such an arrangement his existence
will lead to a clash among the con-
gressmen, and they will soon be rs
hopelessly divided as the members OF
the Legislature are at present. But
in spite of this threatened contingent
cy the conviction is very strong here
now that some sort of a congress
sional apportionment scheme will be
adopted by the democratic caucus
this week. As soon as the congress
sional apportionment is out of the
way the senatorial superintendent
will be taken up and efforts will be
made to reach an agreement on that
