TRICKY RAILWAYS.

provements Promised

Permission to Change the Name I'm.
provements Promised.
At the meetings of the Rock Island
and Moline city councils Monday
night ordinances will be presented
by the Davenport & Rock Island
Railway company providing for the
transfer of the company's rights to
the new company to be formed and
to be known as the Tri-City Railway
company. and the consent OF the
councils to the change suggested,
sought. The same proceedings will
be taken before the board of SUPER
visors at its meeting next week.
That the authority asked for will be
readily conceded does not admit of
doubt. as it is merely a formality to
enable the company to complete it's
reorganization on a more satisfactory
and more profitable basis. The ordi-
nances were submitted to the Daven-
port council last Wednesday night
and promptly acguiesced in. The
new company will take hold Oct. 1,
all the necessary papers having been
drawn and are in readiness for the
transfer.
Improvements In the Cars
With all the essentials disposed OF,
the company will be obliged to re-
letter its rolling stock, amounting
in all, motor cars and trailers, to
about one hundred and sixty cars.
The general artistic design of the
cars will not be altered. Canary
yellow will remain the standard
color for all lines but the bridge,
which will continue to be green.
The lettering on the body of the car
will be changed from davenport &
Rock Island Railway Co" to ..Tri-
City Railway Co.," and Manager
Lardner has selected instead of the
red letter now used an aluminium
shade. With these alterations, too,
Mr.. Lardner has arranged to abolish
the signs on top entirely and to
designate the routes by an etched
transom, as is the case with the new
bridge cars. The different colored
lights at night. red, blue, orange and
green, will he used, as now, but the
center panel on each side will be
etched with the name of the route,
showing plainly day or night. and it
will be adjustable so that on big days
when the cars are interchanged it
may he removed and plain light
substituted.

please don't hit me any morer"
Thus shrieked partly daxed and
bleeding Gust Il. Berg reeling from the
alley between Twentieth and Twen-
ty-first streets and Third avenue
about 1880 last night in an appar-
emily drunken stupor. This demon
stration attracted Officer Mccarthy
and others happening along. AS
sisted to the office Of DR.. S. b.
Hall, it was some time before the
victim evinced signs of the leaving of
the clouds of unconsciousness sufii-
GENTLY to relate what had occurred.
He could remember but family the
circumstances. but knew he had been
attacked by Two men and struck
across the head with a blunt instru-
ment and kicked and beaten until
his senses left him.
Eight stitches In His Head.
1t required eight stitches to close
the wound inflicted perpendicularly
in Berg's forehead. Beside there
were ugly bruises in his head. face
and on his shins sustained from the
kick of his assailants. How long
Berg remained in the alley in the
unconscious condition from which
he was just rallying when discov-
cred is matter of conjecture. HIM

nitely. Berg is an elderly gentle
man well known as an employe of
the various tailoring establishments.
He is at present domiciled at the
Shamrock house, PIP Twenty-frst
street. When accosted he was headed
for John Albrecht's yard across the
alley, to secure pail of water.
Berg Was Broke.
One of The thugs approached the
old gentleman and inquired his mis-
sion. which he remembered of having
told them. With that the other fell
low felled him to the ground. His
senses then left him. The footpads
undoubtedly rifled the tailor's pock-
cts, as they would hardly have any
other object than robbery in view,
but they were poorly remuneratcd
for their trouble, as Berg hadn't 4
fiuke. The victim then lay there in
a puddle of mud, which besmeared
his clothing, until the stun of the
blow began to leave.
Berg could not give a description
of the fellows, only that one was a
tall man and the other short one.
The police have no clue to the APP
prehension of the thugs.
Berg was bandaged up by DR.. Hall
and will suffer nothing more than
temporary distiguration.

CITY TRIUMPHANT.
Alley Paving Succeeds Over
Obstruction.
COUNTY COURT JURY DECISION.

Asses sment Roll Sustained With Slight
Modification and the Entire Principle Of
Modern and Substantial Improvements
Upheld.
The city is triumphant in its stand
for public and permanent improve
menls. notwithstanding the disad-
vautsge of having its present chief
executive against its progressive
policy. the municipality, through. it
must be said, the courageous and de-
termined stand of City Attorney
Haas, has successfully encountered
the opposition of the obstructionist
and there will be no hindrance
to it's continued advancement in
the manner which has so ele-
waited and beautified it, as far
as the courts are concerned. The
alley paving is sustained.
The Jury's Verdict.
The jury in the court which has
been hearing the OBJ jections of GER
tain propertvholders, represented by
II. A. Weld, to the alley paving ordi-
nances, at II o'clock last evening
completed its verdict confirming the
entire assessment roll of ST., O7S SO,
with the exception of $l35.60, which
the jury held was so situated that
the city should sustain the expense
incurred. The changes in the as
sessments as fixed by the jury are:
Property of Mrs. Mary Gibson,
1914 Fourth avenue. reduced from
*l3l.33 to 800.
Property of Miss Lou J. Philip. 3ls
Sixteenth street, reduced from
$2l3.52 to $40.
Property of Jacob Giles, $40 Eff
tenth street, reduced from $l26 80
to 500.
Property Of Andrew Harris, on
Second avenue between Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets, reduced from
$l06.7S to $50.
Property of Patrick Mcclure. 1909
Fourth avenue, reduced from S35. 60
to $50.
A Significant Victory.
The victory for the city is not only
important in that every point gained
where opposition is made to public
improvements counts. but significant
from the fact that had the verdict
been the reverse oppositionists gen.
orally would have seized eagerly the
precedent. and the outcome would
have been staggering blow to a
city like Rock Island, anxious to 90
ahead.
