oHAs. LEHMAN DEAD FROM EFFECT

HIS wife and Child Saved After Great SAT-
Ssr'ng-Partook Of the Fruit Last Night
for Supper. and the Feargal Results Were
Manifsst This Moraing.
Charles Lehman, q section hand in
the employ of the c., b. 4 .. road.
who moved yesterday from Osborne
to BarstOw, was found dead this
morning, while his wife and child
were thrown into the most terrible
sufferings from the contents of = can
of grapes, of which all partook at
supper last night. Mr.. Lehman ate
more freely of the canned fruit than
any of the others, and his sudden
death this morning was a conse-
quence. When neighbors were called
in they found Mrs. Lehorn and child
in the most excruciating agonies
from cramps. Shortly after they
were seized with purging and vomit-
ing, which continued for several
hours. They were given the best
medical attention possible, aud are
not yet out of danger, but may re-
cover.
The Hidden Poison.
1t is clear case of poisoning from
canned fruit. and it is evident that
the wife and child were only saved
by the fact that they did not eat as
much of the fruit as did Mr.. Lehman.
The latter was 80 years of age. An
inquest will be held on his remains
this evening, Coroner Halves having
gone up on the c.. b. & Q. this after
noon to conduct it.

The sad accident should serve as :
warning to boys, who have been il
the habit of indulging in rockies:
coasting, not only in Moline, but in
Rock Island as well.
Quite n number of boys ranging
from Is to IL years, have been in the
habit of coasting down Elm street
hill and turning down to the side
walk on Seventh avenue. Yesterday
they ran into q number of school,
girls. completely running over q
daughter of Frank Harrington. For
tunately, however, outside of a few
bruises, no injury resulted, but thi.
practice should be stopped before
greater damage is done. This stree
is usually filled with school children

AN EXCITING SCENE.
In the Weaver win Case Last Evening.
More Evidence.

In the Weaver VIII Case Last ESenInE-
More Evidence.
The cross examination of George
Weaver that was in progress when
court adjourned last evening, was
concluded this morning in the Wea-
yer will case at IL O'Clock. 1t was
conducted by Mr.. jackson, and was
very searching. just before adjourn
ment last evening. the witness was
asked if the reason his father left his
house was the result of immoral con-
duct on his part. This angered Wea-
yer very much, and for y while it
looked rs though there would he
trouble, but the court poured oil on
the troubled waters, and advised the
parties to go home and quiet down
in the meantime.
At the beginning of the morning
session the trouble was renewed, and
quite a wordy war was INDUCED in
between the coun9l. but no heads
were broken. The principal point Of
George Weaver's testimony was to
disprove the statements made to the
witness, Adolph Weckel, as to the
gifts made by the old gentleman to
his various children. Weckel claim
ing that the old man said that he
had given each an equal amount OF
property. George said that John
and Jake each received $1,000.
whereas the girls and himself got
from 81 900 to 5000.
Maggie Weaver, the 15-year-old
daughter of George Weaver. Jr..
called upon her grandfather with her
father on Dec. "a. 1891. shortly after
the will was made. She corroborated
her father as to the condition of her
grandfather: that he was very low,
could not speak distinctly and could
not hear well. aud said that he was
sorry he had appointed Jake as ex'
ecutor. and made disparaging re.
marks about him. At this poin,
Annie Lark, Lottie Treason, Henry
Treason. Lizzie Van Hook and heI
husband were called to impeach the
testimony of George Mortell. who
had testified that one of the contest
ants tried TO bride him.
The contestants have three more
witnesses to examine, and the rebut-
tai will occupy the rest of the after.
noon. The arguments will probably
begin tomorrow morning.
Court Notes.
George White, the colored boy, ar
rested for assault with a deadly
weapon, came into the circuit court
and peaded guilty, and was senten-
ced to 80 days in the county Jail.

Of the mayors aud street and alley
committees Of the three cities was
held at the Harper house yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock. The object
Of the meeting was the discussion Of

course such as would lead to a uni
formity in this respect in the three
cities. There were present:

$500 pounds, 2i-inch tire; $500
pounds, 3-inch tire; $500 pounds,
Sl-inch tire. and $500 pounds. 4.
inch tire.
Mayor Vollmer. OF Davenport, then
addressed the meeting. and said tina,
5000 pounds was the minimum
weight for Sl-inch tire, and that is
all the Davenport ordinances call for.
He was inclined to believe that i,
was the horses shoes, rather than
narrow tires, that cut up the brick
pavements and caused that constant
brick chipping. Then all the alder.
men expressed their different ideas
on the ordinance rs it is and as il
should be. The gentlemen all had :
finger. or rather voice. in forming
n schedule which will he presented tc
the councils of the tri-cities, to &C
into effect ..from and after July 1
1891" The schedule as adopted was
"4.JO0 to $500 pounds. 2i-inch tire
$500 to 5000. 3-inch tire; 5000 to
5000, 81 inch tire. and all over 500;
pounds. finch tire" Chief Kesslel
was heard upon the resolution, a.
well as Mayor Bennett.
Adopted the Resolution.
The resolution being thoroughly
discussed. was passed unanimously
Aid. Lerch. Of Davenport. made 8
motion that a license Of $25 be assess

ces. they should be arrested and fine,

pleasant little incidents in the childhood
days OF Mrs Richards, but pictures the
