FROM THIS END.
All Rock Island Trains Operated
From Here.
NEW BLOCK AUTOMATIC SYSTEM,

NO Necessity for the Freights stopping on
the Davenport Side Observation-Disclosures
Gain for this City-An Registering Done
Here.
The new electric block system of
running trains from the east end of
the Rock Island bridge and into the
city of Davenport is now in success
full operation, and henceforth all
trains west are operated from Rock
Island. The necessity of freight
trains stopping in Davenport is en-
tirely obviated, and they will 60
through there like 4 limited flyer
dashes by way station out in the
country. The only trains that will
hereafter stop at Davenport will be
those in the passenger service. and it
is doubtful il the fast mail will make
a stop there eventually.
1t has been the custom hereto
for trainmen of all crews to register
at Davenport and bulletin board
has been kept there, but all the
necessary paraphernalia for this for
mality has been moved to Rock ISL
and, and this part of the trainman's
duty is performed on this side of the
river, so that the freight crews will
know nothing about Davenport. ex-
cept what they see in passing
through.
The block system. which was de-
scri5cd few days ago in THE ARGUS,
is made necessary in view of the
single track on the Rock Island
bridge, but the automatic working
OF the new device serves the purpose
OF running order, as there is no
danger whatever OF trains going in
opposite directions getting on the
track under its working.
The Operators Force.
The move on the part of the Rock
Island in abandoning the train order
service at Davenport is but the fore
runner to the entire removal of the
train dispatcher's forces of operators
to the Rock Island side. All passen-
ger and freight crews either way now
run out Of here, and the system west
and southwest is operated from this
point. This adds to the Importance
of Rock Island as terminal point on
the Rock Island railway.

O'Connor to he Signed.
Mike O'Connor, the big first base
man released by st. Joe, is to be
signed by Rock Island. BY this, the
club gains good man, but loses
Jimmie Connors. one of the most
conscientious ball players that ever
had ball in his hands. Jimmie has
been playing second base for Rock
Island, and has not assumed enough
''cracker-iack" to suit Manager
Sage, but he will, no doubt, in
a year more make his record as a
player. He leaves with the best
wishes of all his Rock Island friends,
and much to their regret. Cantil-
lion will be assigned to second. The
result of this change will be
watched with interest.
The batting and fielding averages
OF the club, in the games PLAYED on
the home grounds, are as follows:

The 1Ycstlallc Sanitarium.

TON, d. C.
l have opened "Sanitarium" at the
above number and street, and in con-
neclion Herewith wish to call especial
attention to the "Monroe System" for
the treatment and cure Of Alcoholism,
Morphine Habit, Norcotics of all kinds,
Cigar and Cigarette Smoking, also all
cases Of Nervous Exhaustion.
The question is, 'Can these habits be
cured ?" and, relying on my experience
of the past, l unhesitatingls answer,
Yes" For over year and a half |
have been treating patients at my SAM
tarium in Elmira, N. y, with the
Monroe System" and in that time
over sixty persons have been treated
by me there, with record of only
three relapses. Men who were inebri
ates in that city for from ten to thirty
years, have been year and Il half
without stimulants of any kind and
their testimony now is that they have
not the slightest desire or craving for
it, and have not had since they left my
''Institution.n refer to any reputable
citizen Of Eimira as to my character
aud standing there.
have never had patient who did
not soon note his constant improve
ment. Lassitude, loss Of energy, i'm
paired mental or physical vigor, is not
the price which patients pay by
this treatment for an exemption
from the craving for stimuants.
All desire for stimulants Of all kinds is
eflectually killed. The patients do not
have to wait months to recover the use
of their mental and muscular powers,
but are enabled at once to resume their
various pursuits. BY permission am
prepared TO furnish testimonials from
those treated by me.
did not come here to antagonize
any other treatment, but truth compels
me to say that while in Elmira had
number of patients from Washington,
and, with the exception Of one only, all
of them were relapses from other cures.
Several of them had for years tried
nearly every cure.
My Sanitarium is furnished andI fit
ted in the most comfortable manner.
Patients are assured of the utmost
privacy and constant care and atten-
ton. They are always under the eye
OF capable physician, and, where de-
sired, can have the benefit of consulta-
tation with any reputable physician they
may select and treatment will be given
TO meet the indications in each individ-
ual case. l will be glad at any time to
have any member of the medical profes-
sion call on me, and | court the fullest
inquiry as to the effects and lasting
benefits Of my system oftreatment. Pa
tients or people interested will be put
into communication with gentlemen re-
siding in Washington who have taken
the treatment, and who can speak of
its effects from experience. For further
information, apply to

MORE MoUSTACHE DRESSING.-W nile
several gentlemen were enjoying a lit
tie conviviality in a Royal street saloon
yesterday evening, one of the partici-
pants became rather annoying towards
another aud the latter concluded to
play the limberger cheese trick, so pre-
curing a piece of that detestable edible
he proceeded to dress the others
moustache, and in a minute had ii as
pointed at both ends and protruding as
horizontally as that which adorned the
upper lip of Napoleon III. The gen-
.lelnan with The 'waXed moustache,
resented, with an oath, the indignity,
and said he would swear out Il warrant
for assault against the perpetrator. At
this iuncure one of the party, who did
not want to figure as 4 witness, slipped
a pistol into the coat pocket of the vic
tim of the Joke. He was then informed
that should he persist in his determine
ton to swear out q warrant a counter
charge would be made against him for
carving concealed weapons. He swore
out the warrant, however, but later,
concluded TO withdraw it. This is the
second time this trick has been played
on This gentleman and he says his well
known aversionSto limberger cheese
aud his determination TO resort TO
harsh measures the next time it is at
tempted should deter others from max:
iug such an attempt.

BgEAKING UP HoUSEKEEpING.-I
was not Jack the Slasher,n but Dennis
dudley, a colored individual, who some
lime ago found marriage a failure and
who was arrested at the instance of / IS
wife last week for conduct unbecomirg
husband and protector Of the weaker
vessel. who last night determined, after
making threat to that effect, to render
the furniture in his house OF no use 10
any one else if he could not do as he
pleased within his own domicile. A
mrtia! severance of marital relations
br,ween himself and wife had taken
mace and the small house in which the
latter lived had recently been fitted up
with new furniture. Dudley, after sat
isfying himself that his wife was at
church, proceeded to the house, found
the door locked, and made his entrance
through window. When his better
balf returned she was nearly thrown
into paroxisms by discovering that
everything in the house had been rem
dered useless. The seats were cut
from the chairs, pictures defaced, the
stove lids thrown away and everything
else which enters into housekeeping
either defaced or rendered useless.
The woman ran into the street crying,
and having positive evidence her hus-
band had been seen to enter the house
swore out warrant for his arrest, aud
later Officers Bremen and Ferguson
placed the slasher in cell in the sta
ton house. This morning he was
brought into the Police Court where he
proceeded to give rambling and un-
satisfactory account Of his movements
last night, and was fined 50.

of China gave birth to son last month,
so that the succession of the present
dynasty is assured. Dispatches con-
tanning the intelligence of the important
event were forwarded to all the viceroys
and governors in the empire by the
authorities at the capitol.
1t transpires since the death Of the
Buddhist chief high priest, Otani, of
Japan, that he had several concubines
as well as lawful wife. This fact is
causing a wall to 60 up from the Var
nacular religious press. One writer
laments his country's loss, and says
such things are common in small vii
lagos, and adds: "But here was the
head of Buddhism in Japan, the social
ed divine incarnation, given to this life.
The influence of the temple pervades
the nation and does much to shape
national development. Such things are
poison to Japan, the traitor of the state,
and the sword of satan.'

of his Leesburg yesty, as communicated
to him on Monday, through vestrymen
Clagett and Murray, reinforced by the
