Our Orators Abroad.

Coifeyyille Journal on Fourth Of
July doings; Hon. J. r. Burton, Of
Abilene, magnificent orator and a
profound thinker, gave the large and
intelligent audience one of the most
telling speeches that it has been the
good fortune of many to listen to in a
long time. He spoke from the heart
and reached the hearts Of his hearers.
We would be most happy to give his
address in full to our readers, but Mr..
Burton spoke eStemporaneously and
without notes, and there was no stem
ographer present to to take down his
burning words Of intense patriotism
and inspiring sentences Of unques-
toned logic. His peroration was mag
nifcent, and fairly lifted the vast au-
dience from their seats and thrilled
every heart with high degree Of en-
thusiasm.
Harrington Times: Hon. Z. G. Lit
tie was introduced and gave a very
interesting address Of half an hour,
reciting much of his experience in a
foreign country and comparing the
conditions Of the people here with
those he had found on the other side
OF the broad Atlantic. After dinner,
Hon. G. T. Mead also entertained the
large multitude Of people by an adj
dress which was also well received
and enjoyed by all.

William Moore, of Coal Valley, was
IN the city today, and informed us
that it was just A years ago that he
first set foot in Rock Island. He ar
rived via steamboat from the east,
and ate his first dinner here at the
old Rock Island house with Landlord
Barrett, who served some fine bear
steak. Shortly afterwards Mr.
Moore. accompanied by the late DIR.

from Andalusia, went overland to
California, where they remained two
years. Returning, Mr.. Moore set

The Augustana SYNOD.

ST. PETER, Mimi. June THE
thirty-fourth annual session of the
Augustana synod is in convention at
this city. There are present about
seven hundred and fifty ministers
and laymen. The new constitution
which was tabled at the meeting in
Rock Island year ago, was adopted
yesterday by vote of 276 to Sc. A
very important provision of the new
constitution is the matter of repre-
sentation, which it limits to one
minister and one delegate for every
LOCO communicates, instead of one
delegate and one minister from every
church. as provided in the old con-
stitution. The question of separat-
ing Augustana college from the SEM
mary was discussed yesterday with
great warmth.
In the course of the discussion one
speaker said that Rock Island has
two citizens who. if properly ap-
preached by the board of trustees
OF the institution. would place Aug
ustana college on an independent
financial footing for all time to come.
Should the pending motion to .separ-
ate the college from the seminary
prevail, i; will imply that the college
proper will no longer he the property
OF the synod. but will be given to the
Illinois and Iowa conferences, aud in
all probability be removed to Chi
cago, while the seminary would re-
main at Rock Island, the common
property of the synod. j. f. G.

The Situation Among the lGiners-A Meet
ine Tonight.
GILCHRIsT, June THE situation
of the miners strike at Gilchrist is
unchanged, the men still being out,
and not an ounce of coal to be had
from this section. The Empire and
Alden companies are overrun with
orders, and are endeavoring to per-
suade the men to return to work.
Harmony in feeling and interest still
predominates, and no unpleasant
rumors nor actions are seen or heard.
A few days ago the coal operators
requested the men to call a meeting
to ascertain if there is not some wav
whereby the differences that now ex-
list might not be amicably adjusted.
In accordance with this request, the
men have called o meeting for Fri
day evening, at which time the con-
ditions, ETC., viii be discussed. One
Of the mine operators authorized one
of their officers to state to the men
that if they would resume operations
in the mines, the company would
live up to any agreement, or pay the
scale adopted by the miners meet
ing to be held later on. The men,
while sympathizing with the deplor-
able condition OF affairs here and
elsewhere, are still as determined n
their move as ever, not word of tn e
strike being mentioned, except in a
general way.
Coal n Scarce Article,
There is not now bushel of coal
in Gilchrist, and small pieces of the
precious fuel are now treasured
within the show cases of merchants,
here and elsewhere, as rarity in
this section. The miners of this
city, for the most part, are Ameri-
cans, and are following line of pol
icy that cannot but be admired by
all-friends or foes. Peace and har-
mony reign supreme, and sociability,
rather than severity or Indifference
characterize the town of Gilchrist.

Fishing In Illinois.

In reply to request from Gov.
Altgeld regarding the construction
of the Illinois fish laws, the attorney
general has rendered the following
opinions:
1t is lawful for any person to catch
fish at all times in the waters men
toned in such act with weir, basket,
trap or other device not used as a
seine, with meshcs not less than two
inches square, provided: That such
weir. basket, trap or other device is
not used in such 4 manner as to OBJ
struct the free passage of fish in such
waters.
1t is also unlawful for any person
to catch or Kill fish with any seine or
device used as q seine, in or upon
any of the rivers, creeks. streams,
ponds, lakes, sloughs, bayous or
other water courses, wholly within
or running through the state of
Illinois, at all times except
that between the first day of
July in each year and the first
day of April in the following year.
fish may be so caught or killed with
scincs, the meshes of which are not
less than two square inches, in such
rivers and streams as are used for
navigation, wholly within the state,
and not above or beyond any private
or corporate dams on said rivers or
streams, and also in navigaole bays
or lakes, connected with such navi-
gable streams, wholly within the
state and not extending beyond the
overflowcd bottoms of such rivers or
streams.
This is the first opinion that has
ever been rendered on the new fish
laws of this state and will be of in
terest to the sports. This decision
places Fish Commissioner Langford
in somewhat embarrassing position,
he having taken up lawful nets, and
suits having been entered by the
owners for damages.

The Reservoir RecOmmendoA bv Mavor
Medill and the Hook and Ladder tract
More In Detail OF the Destruction and
= Insurance.
Yesterday afternoons fire served a
double purpose. First and above all
1t demonstrated the feasibility of
Mayor Medill's suggestions to the
council in his annual message of a
reservoir or standpipe in the rapidly
growing and settling locality on the
bluff east of Elm street. The people
who own property out there are de-
serving of this extension of our fire
protection, it being fully shown YES
terday that it is impossible for the
pumps at the city water works to
force stream through hose up the
hill far from the present fire hydrant
1t is to be hoped now that the couu-
ell has been brought face to face with
the situation that it will take up the
mayors timely recommendation and
act upon them.
The error of attempting to do with
out the hook and ladder truck, which
purpose. happily. the council has de-
termined to abandon and to eouip the
truck for constant use, was apain
illustrated. The necessary equip
ment cannot be carried on n hose
wagon to tackle burning building.
rs necessity may in some cases de-
mand. and furthermore, now that
the new wagons have been intro
duced. the addition of the small lad
ders does not add to their appear
ance or usefulness. Let us have a
properly equipped truck ready for
duty and to respond to all fires.
When 1t is not needed it may very
readily be sent back to the Central
house, but it should always be in
readiness for an emergency.
More Of the Losses.
The loss on the building and stock
of Doerring & Co., as stated yester-
day. was $4,000. the building being
owned by c. X. Kastner, and was in
sured for s., 200 in the Transatlantic
company, for which Hurst g. Donald
son are agents. The school house,
which was owned by Dimock &
Gould, was insured for 5000 in the
American, of Newark, and HAYES &
Cleaveland's agency. The school
furniture was insured for $3.50 in the
Delaware company. through Hurst &
Donaldson's agency. Mrs. Nokes'
property was not insured, and the
loss falls heavily upon her. She lost
all she had in the world.
James Ross and Joseph Lerch's
houses were only saved by
tearing up of carpets and saturating
them and blankets and spreading
them over the buildings. Their dam
age to personal property is therefore
considerable. although their homes
were saved.
The loss of the school will be very
apt to hasten the board of education
in the matter of erecting new build
ing in the Thirty-eight street dis
trict, which it has had under consid-
Grafton for some time, although there
is also disposition to send the chill
dren up there to the No. 5 and No. Z
schools.
Had high wind been blowing, the
entire bluff region would have been
swept by the devouring element.

NEW HOSPITAL.
Only the North Wing to be Built
at Present.
A PRETTY BUILDING Planned.

Dimensions Of the BaTding when Conn
pleted-size of the New Wing-Cost Of
the Contemplate Structure.
A short time since work was be-
gun on the construction of the new
st. Anthony hospital. Through the
efforts OF the Franciscan sisters, NJ.
Schnell drew up plans for a new
building at cost of $4,000, without
the plumbing. The building when
completed will be 100 feet wide by
GA feet deep, and will be entirely of
brick, with a slate roof.
The foundation of the north wing
is about completed, and will be 40
by ga feet. The basement will be
over ground and will be IL feet high.
There will be two stories IL feet
high, and an attic. which may be
used for wards, will be 10 feet high.
The north wing will accommodate
from 35 to 40 patients. The wing,
without the plumbing, will cost
$4,000.
Assistance OF the Public.
OF course the building cannot be
completed without the assistance of
the general public, and in view of the
fact that in the past the generosity
OF our people has enabled the sisters
to carry out their plans and noble
work, they have taken upon them
selves the task of the new building.
When funds were first solicited for
the hospital. many citizens expressed
themselves as willing to help, finan-
cially, SO good an endeavor, but they
also wished to see the building
started before they donated. The
building is now started and before
long it will be counted as one of the
prettiest in Rock Island. Funds
were also solicited in Moline, but the
donations from there are so small on
account of rumor being afioat
that hospital was to be built in that
city.
The sisters of st. Anthony's hos
pital wish to thank the citizens of
Rock Island for their kindly feeling
toward them. and sincerely hope
that they will work in scorsort
with them in the undertaking in
which they are interested at present.
