iCAUGHT ON THE CORNER.
Strange stories Picked Up by Stroller
While on His Rounds.

..See that young lady going across
the street there?" said gentleman
to the stroller few evenings since
as they stood talking a, Second ave-
nue. and Seventeenth street. ..Rath-
er pretty, isn't she?" continued the
speaker. You know she clerks in
- dry goods store. Well, you
might be surprised if l told you that
she's a married woman, though you
and most everyone else, except a
few, think she's single Now, don't
be surprised at that for it's so, every
word of it. and not only that, but
she's married to her own cousin.
No. I'm not Joking, I'm in dead earn
est. and if you or anyone else will
take trouble to 90 out to Cambridge
in Henry county, and look over the
marriage license register for July,
1892, You can satisfy yourself on that
point. Yes. it does seem strange,
but it's an old saying that truth is
often stranger than fiction. and it's
indeed applicable in this case. The
whole story of the affair would fill
book, but briefly the facts are these:
L ne TWO cousins lOEHltu an diltCH-
ment for one another some two wears
ago. Both families live in the west
end of town. but though they are re-
lated they have never gotten along
well together and the associations of
the two cousins were always discour-
aged by both families. But love
laughs at locksmiths. and on the 18th
of last July the two cousins managed
to evade the watchful eyes of both
their families and going out to Cam
bridge they procured marriage Ii
cense. They gave their names cor
rectly but designated Peoria as their
home. They were married by Police
Magistrate Randall, of that place,
and returned home again that even
| ing. Now. the funny part of 1t l.
that no one has ever heard of it and
even the girls. who work with the
young lady in the store, have never
suspected it. Their associations tC
all appearances are the same that
they were previously. and although
neaSly year has passed, their secret
is known but to Il few, but it vii
come out some daV and when ii does
everybody viii be surprised"

THREE FIRE ALARMS.
The Department Called to Subdue Small
BIazes-An Accident.

BIaZes-An Accident.
The fire department has had three
calls since last evening to s1bdue in
cipient biaZes in various parts of the
city. The first alarm was sent in at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, fire
having been discovered on the roof
of the Maucker house, at the corner
'of Fourth avenue and Sixteenth
street. The department responded
almost instantaneously being but n
block away, and the flames were
quickly subdued. the loss entailed
not exceeding SO.
This morning at 9:15 o'clock an
alarm was sounded from box IA at
the corner of Ninth street and Third
avenue. The cause was fire on the
rear corner of the frame dwelling at
907 Second avenue occupied by q. Z.
Bowen. The Central company was
exercising on Third avenue but a few
blocks away at the time and was
quickly on the ground. Chief Brahm
cut a hole in the roof where the fire
was located and with n gentle appli-
cation of water subdued the blaze
and held the damage down to about
so.
At IL 90 today still alarm called
the department to the residence of
Mrs. Elizabeth Krell. 1904 Third ave
| nue.. where fire had broken out in a
summer kitchen. The flames were
put down by means of buckets, how
| ever. before the firemen reached the
scene. though they responded in in
credibly quick time. The loss will
not exceed S15.
| An Accident.
When the first alarm was sounded
this morning the Central Hook and
Ladder company was exercising on
Moline avenue near Twenty-siNth
street. The regular driver was not
on duty. this being his day off. and
when Ladderman Mulcahy. who was
emporarilv in charge of the team.
got his horses down to bust
ness he found he had a contract on
his hands that was more than
he bargained for. The greyhounds
of the department started down the
iavenue on leap and when Twenty
third was reached they were going
so fast ii was impossible to make the
turn and the horses collidcd with 4
tree in front of DR.. PauIs residence
land were thrown down. The foot
board and gong were torn of the truck
but the horses were not INJURED. nor
was any serious damage done. The
truck was repaired this afternoon
land new gong provided.
The accident served to demonstrate
1.-THE disadvantage of not having the
proper practical training such as
Chief Brahm promises to inaugurate
That training should not be confined
to merely exercising the teams, but
the department should be given ;
lively run every so often.

q. y. Anderson Meets with IA Strange Mis-
fortune in Moline.

O. \. Anderson. Il man who had
been previously hurt in one of the
Moline shops met with peculiar ac-
cident in the Williams. White N Co
machine shop this morning. He has
been crippled for some time and has
been selling liniment to the employees
of the shops up there. He stepped
into the Williams-Wh shop
and was about to show
some of his liniment when he
set his box down on the an
vii under a heavy trip-hammer. In
doing so he accidentally touched the
trip and the heavy hammer came
down. mashing one of his hands so
that he will probably lose it entirely.
The accident is doubly unfortunate
to him owing to his crippled condl-
ton previously. Verify the way of

MONEY MATTERS.
Local Banks Not Affected by
the Prevailing Stringency.
THOUGH MUCH CLosENEss EXISTS

Capable of WIthstanding any Contingen-
cy, Though a Reserve is Being Held for
Emergency Belief That the Worst of
the situation Has Been Experienced
Expressions of Opinion.
Rock Island will experience no Sc
rious results from the money scare
that has been prevailing throughout
the country. The local banking
houses have taken time bv the fore
lock and amply forestalled themselves
for any emergency that might possi-
bly, arise. Money is consequently
very close for the reason that the
banks are not floating any paper un-
til the present situation gives way to
a better outlook. Loans are not be-
ing made either by monetary con-
Germs or individuals. and hence the
complaint about money being tight.
No Cause for Alarm.
There is no cause for the least
alarm" said Phil Mitchell, of Mitch
ell Il Lynde, this morning. If the
newspapers will quit eNaggerating

to be able to meet any requirements

another RobO cry at BenwOod.

Early last Sunday morning there was
another robbery in BenWood, this
time the worst case of petty thieving
yet reported. The REGISTER men
toned two previous occasions OF rob-
berries at Chas Wagner's residence,
near the Riverside mill. The first time
corn and potatoes were stolen and the
second time large amount Of cabbage
and corn was taken. At the time named
the thieves again visited Mr.. Wagner's
residence, and this time cleaned out
his stock of fine fowls. Mr.. Wagner
heard the noise and went to his chicken
coop, but too late to catch the thieves.
He found there the heads OF thirty
chickens, seven ducks and five geese.
There is no clue to the robbers. AT
this time these losses fall particularly
hard on the mill man.
