Health Commissioner Emery, Of Brooklyn. has
finally moved in the matter Of open cars In in
clement weather. and has summoned the presi-
dents OF the surface railroad companies in the
city TO confer with him on the subject tomorrow.
This IS at least week too late. That is just
what usually happens; the companies endanger
the lives Of their passengers for a period. and at
length are called TO account at time when
pleasant weather has arrived and the open car
Is desirable rather than Objectionable. There
ought TO be a definite rule established, with an
proprate penalties and the companies should be
required TO obey It strictly. The excuse given
by the principal company engaged in surface
transportation in Brooklyn is totally inadequate.
II Is that the company has only a limited num-
Der OF motors which are transferred from closed
cars to open ones In the spring and vice versa
In the fall and that when the open cars are once
equipped 1t Is necessary to use them. no matter
how severe the weather may be. This Is a truly
astonishing statement TO be put forward serious
ly by wealthy corporation.

the last few years In placing the statute books
OF the State number OF taxation laws which
bring vast sums into the State treasury every
year. This year they tried 10 increase the
amount. and passed bill imposing a small tax
on foreign corporations doing business In this
State. Apparently Governor Flower doesn't want
the Republicans to get too much credit for wise
laws OF this character At all events. he has
vetoed the bill, although Controller Roberts est-
mated that 1t would produce revenue OF
100000 annually.

wipe out intemperance from the

are marching. slowly perhaps, but
none the less surely, on to victory.
They realize that educating the

As one means of education, thew,
through the generosity of w. Jen-

most eminent speakers, according to
the best of their ability and be

awarded the medal.
Rock Island has been holding a Sc

IA will give the most interesting OF
all so far-a gold medal contest
where each contestant holds silver
medal. The entertainment promises
to be of unusual interest, not only
from that fact, but from the fact that
some of our sweetest singers and

While fishing just below the pier
of the Rock Island bridge at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Samuel Green
we'll, OF this city, discovered an OBJ
ject floating in the water. which he
first thought was log. but as it
came nearer he found it was a hu-
man body. Fastening a rope to the
corpse he towed it to the Rock ISL
and ferry dock at the foot of Eigh-
teenth street, when Coroner Halves
was notified, and an examination OF
the clothes of the deQd man revealed
his identity to be that of Claus Hass.
OF Davenport, q poll tax notice of
the city across the river conveying
this information. Eighty-five cents
constituted the money found in the
pockets. 1t was evident that the
body had not been in the water long.
Word was sent to Davenport and
Capt. Martens, of the police force
there, ascertaired that Hass had
boarded with a man named Fritz
Lamp, OF that city, who accom- panied
the officer named to Rock Island.

deceased, stating also that he was n

man; NJ. +. Sweeney. l.. V. Eckhart.

testified substantially as related
above, as to the finding OF the BODY.
The most important witness, how.
ever, was Fred Lamp. of Davenport,
at whose mothers boarding hou Sc
the deceased made his home. He
testified that the last he saw of Claus
Hass was at O'Clock yesterday after.
noon. when the deceased left the
house in apparently low spirits.
HaSs had been a street laborer in
Davenport, and being hard drinker
was discharged some time ago. and
had been generally desponden,
ever since. often speaking OF
taking his lie. No attention was
paid to his cruel boasts until yester.
day afternoon, when he said that he
only had five more hours to live.
After leaving the house. he hired :
Davenport teamsier named Donnelly
to take him 10 Rock Island. giving
him 81 for his trouble. When tho
wagon arrived ut the draw pier on
the Rock Island bridge. Hass Jumped
off and went down the steps. That

1t is pleasure to note the appear

Mrs. Potter and Mr.. Bellew. who are
announced to open the season of the
Burtis next Friday, Sept. "A. Mrs.
Potter has been receiving unstinted
praise from the critics wherever she
has appeared during her presen,

add that MIR. Bellew, who has long
since been recognized as one Of the
leading actors of his age. is entirely
satisfactory in any part he may be
seen in. The supporting company
is the same that accompanied them
on their last American tour, about
two seasons ago, and it is said to be
highly satisfactory in every re-
spect. The plays in their re-
pertoire are excellent and pop
ular. The engagement here should
call out all OF the best people,
and their opening will no doubt he
large in quantity and select in quail
ity. Previous to their opening in
San Francisco about two months
ago, they have been making an ex-
tended tour Of the orient. Their ap-
Pearance in Calcutta was greeted
with storms Of applause. and their
engagement there continued for five
months-an event unprecedented in
the theatrical history of that coun-
try. 1t is the intention OF Mrs. Pot

tours OF this country in the future.

very inconvenient. it is claimed, for
firms which have travelling men out

the tickets in such cases might be
sent to the agent of any connecting
line where the travelling man may
be, and be signed in the presence Of
such agent.

LATE CHANGES.

BARNEY EHANNEY's NEW POSITION

IL seen NO More Hore-E j. Burns to Leave
the Rock Island After II Years In its Ser
vice = General Railway GIe.nines Here
and There. =
They say that Barney McNannev,
the erstwhile conductor on the Ra-
cine & Southwestern division of the C.
M. 4 St.P., has gotten so accustomed
to his new position as depot master
at Milwaukee that one would think
he had been at it for score of wears,
whereas he has been occupied in that
capacity but one week. barney was
sent up to take the place OF +. L.
Perkins, appointed train master.
The position to which Barney was
thus promoted is an important and
responsible one, requiring not only
experience. but good judgment. He
always possessed mack of applying
himself to circumstances, and of do
ing the right thing at the right time.
The people along the line between
here and Milwaukee don't think the
road did the right thing in taking
the popular conductor off, for they
miss his cheerful countcnance al
ready, but they are glad to know of
his elevation, nevertheless, and wish
him abundant success hereafter.
Coke Corrigan is running McNan-
ney's former train regularly. and like
the popular Barney, has hosts of
friends at every station through
which the road passes.
Ed. Burns Change.
+. j. Burns, formerly in the
freight department OF the Rock ISL
and in this city, but more recently in
charge of the company's interests at
La Sale and Peru, is in the city. He
will soon sever his connection with
the road to enter the service of the
Santa Fe. The past year has been a
stormy one for Burns. Being freight
and passenger agent at La Sale and
freight agent at Peru, La Sale being
the third station in Importance on
the Rock Island system in Illinois,
he naturally had considerable respon-
sibility anyway, and these were in
creased during the recent strike,
when every man in the roads en-
ploy left, and the point became one
OF the most troublesome on the line
between here and Chicago, Blue ISL
and excepted. Burns. however,
stuck to his post, and did the best he
could as agent. and after the difficult
ties were settled was obligned to
start over with an entire new force OF
help. He has been in the employ of
the Rock Island IA years, and is well
equipped with general railway infor-
nation.
