At Offermann's island yesterday
afternoon Fritz Bendixen. of Rock
ingham, was frightfully slashed by a
man named Benna, also of Rocking
ham, being found in an uncon-
scious condition last night with
wounds about the face, neck and
back. He was taken to Davenport
and is still alive, having regained
consciousness sufficient to furnish
the name of his assailant. but none
of the details. The participants in
the trouble went to the island in a
skiff with a kag of beer to celebrate
by themselves, and quarrel pro-
voked the encounter.
The management of the island and
excursion was in no way to blame
for the occurrence, as characters at
all questionable are not allowed to
20 to the island. and of the 900 peo-
pie taken yesterday, not a drunken
person was carried either way on the
boat. And hereafter the manage.
ment proposes to put out stronger
safeguards in the way of restrictions

COUNCIL CHAT.
Plat Of the New Addition Adopted-Thc
Madison Meeting.

Plat Of the New Addition Adopted-Thc
Madison Meeting.
The municipal dads held their
meeting Saturday evening instead
of tonight, in order to be at Madison
with the early birds with view to
capturing the removal prize.
The presentation of plat of the
new addition was the signal for quite
an extended discussion, several of
the aldermen attempting to talk at
once. However, it was finally
commended in its action in opening
up another avenue to the city's pro-
gressive upbuilding. The property
is owned by E. d. Sweeney. Louis
Mosenfelder. Capt. c. G. Du k, Jonas
Bear and Eli Nosenfelder, who will
Immediately begin grading opera
tions. The tract is bounded by
Ninth and Twelfth avenues and Sew
enteenth street, half way between
and is one of the most beautiful
strips in the city. and brief period
will undoubtedly witness the occu-
pancy of handsome residences.
For the Madison Meeting.
The council arranged with c.,
NJ. 6 St. p. representative, who was
present for the accommodation of 25
pas condition they would
go-to the Madison Woodmen head
camp meeting. The travelling ex-
penses of this number were ordered
deferred by the city. A rate of one
and-one-third fare for the round trip
was agreed upon, and will amount to
about 500 per head.
Tho Paving Question.
In view of the difficulty existing
with the Galesburg Paving Brick
company in failing to comply with
the specifications in the matter Of
material, Aid. Schreiner introduced
resolution in effect that upon a
failure of the company to immedi-
ately forward the stipulated quality
for the rejected material, the mayor
and street and alley committee be
authorized to arrange with another
brick firm to supply the desired ma
terial. A representative of the
Galesburg company was in the city
this morning and made arrangements
by which paving operations will
probably be resumed on Seventh ave-
nue. tomorrow morning.

FLOURISHEO A REVOLVER.
The Result of Abuse of
Free Speech"
A Sensational Scene on Mar
ket Square.

A riot was narrowly averted last
evening on Market. square, where
Clark, the A. p. A. exponent has
been holding forth the past few
evenings. The lecturers remarks
met responsive hootings from
number of boys, annoying him SO
that he could not proceed with his
lecture, whereupon he shed his coat,
left the rostrum. proceeded to his
baby buggy. from which he took
a revolver, notwithstanding the pro-
tests of his wife, and deliberately
rushed through the crowd flourish
ing the weapon in the faces of men,
women and children, with the cry:
Come on, Americans and members
of the order to where these Clan-a-
gaels are!''
Women and children were scream
ing. and panic and possibly a riot
would have snsued but for the time
lv interference of Aid. w. G. Mauck-
er and ex-Police Officer Richard
Carnes, who wrenched the revolver
from the Infatuated speaker and hus-
tied him down the middle of the
street to the Jail. w. c. Holden,
Clark's companion, attempted to
continue the lecture when the
latter left the stand, but he,
too, was suppressed by the
hoctings of bystanders. A COM
plant was filed against Clark for
carrying concealed weapons, and
Justice Halves fixed his bond at 5000.
which was furnished by &. J. Demp-
sey, II. Potts and w. v. Stafford.
Riotous Remarks.
When Clark was being excursioned
to the Jail several of his lieutenants
broke forth in stentorian tones:
They're taking him off to hang
him. seeking to aggravate the OPP
posing following into a more riotous
proceeding. although a number of
the mere prominent members made
themselves scarce when Clark was
taken in hand. Bobby Bennett and
Kincaid returned after the commo-
ton had subsidized and gathered up
the lecturers pharaphernalia and
tcarried it down to the Jail by way OF
Second avenue. just prior to
Clark's exit from the rostrum,
one of his body guards urged
division of the assemblage, an
nouncing: ..Let the members of our
order form on one side and the Clan,
a-gaels on the other, and we'll settle
them" This was signal for
more disturbance from bystaHders,
hot words being exchanged between
the two factions, whose brewing seri-
business was only subdued by the ar
rest of Clark, this dispensing the
crowd.

LEADING UP TOIr.
Clark and His Followers Evidently Were
Looking for Trouble.

Clark and His Followers Evidently Were
Looking for Trouble.
Ever since his release from the
Davenport Jail Friday and the
resumption of his speeches in
Rock Island, Clark's addresses
have been burdened with more
insult and delivered in more
threatening manner than were those
previously delivered in Court House
square. Saturday night he outlined
his program for the coming week,
told Of the proposed meetings under
the auspices of the A. z. A., and of
the proposed movement in Daven-
port Wednesday night. He also
made one vicious remark that Gre
ated considerable feeling to this eff
feet: How do you males known when
receiving dissolution from your priest
whether he is meditating seriously of
the act he is performing. or is thinking
of the good time he had the previous
evening with your mother, wife or
sister" This utterance, however,
was on par with the outrageous
hand bills scattered broadcast pre-
vious to the meetings, and while cal
culated in the sense to arouse indig-
nation among Romanists by the allu-
sion to the sacred offices of the
church. had an equal tendency to
lead to violence on the part of excit-
able people by such phrases as this:
The American flag torn down by
a Catholic mob and tramplsd under
foot IN Davenport" The battle is
on" Americans are you with US to
defend the flag and vindicate free
speech? II SO come to our lectures on
Market square every night this
week." etc.
With these circulars distributed on
every hand, with prominent members
of the order going about with loaded
canes. the possibility of trouble had
presented itself to many minds, cs-
pecially, too, in view of what had
happened in Davenport. where Clark
had been in Jail and from which city
j. A. Kincaid. who goes about as his
body guard, is now out on bail for
carrying concealed weapons, the

Charged With Riot.
Warrants were sworn out today
before Justice Halves by John w.
Swan. lieutenant of Clark, for the ar
rest of Charles Naab, Valentine Kick.
Thomas Stroehle. Peter Burns, Pat
rick Kelley and W. c. Maucker, who
are charged with melting riot. M +
Sweeney has been retained by the
prosecution on pne hand and the
defense of Clark on the other.
These cases were all continued
this afternoon until Saturday.
Aid. Maucker's appearance on the
square was purely accidental. He
was on his way to join the alder
manic party bound for Madison. He
paused for q moment. standing in
the crowd. and when bloodshed
seemed imminent and no policeman
being about, he did his duty as q
public official and seized Clark, the
creator of the disturbance.
As To Tonight.
1t is expected there will be another
meeting or the square tonight.
Chief Etzel this afternoon stated
that he would permit one to start,
but at the least appearance of trouble
he would be prepared to put stop
to it.
Mayor Vollmer. of Davenport, was
in the city last evening when the
disturbance occurred, and it is prob
able formed his own ideas as to what
course he will pursue with reference
to the coming meeting in Daven-

o'clock last evening Fred Green dis.
covered smoke issuing from the up
per story windows in the front part
of St. JOseph's Catholic church. The
side windows all being closed. the
occupants of the parsonage were
held in ignorance of the mourning
danger to the editice until appraised
by MIR. Green, who, with the assist
ancc of H. ID. Folsom, subdued the
flames, which were swiftly devouring
the contents of the vestrv room,
with the garden hose. The depart
mont was notified, but arrived after
the fire was extinguished. No posi-
tive cause for the origin of the
blaze can be given, the supposition
being that it started from a spon-
taneOus combustion, some matches
having been left i'm the room. The
damage. confined to the vestments
and wardrobe, is nominal.
False Alarm.
The department was summoned
to the old Brooks homestead on
Thirty-eighth street at 1880 Satur-
day evening, but found no necessity
for its presence. Gilpin Moore was
attracted by a large blaze in the
residence, and thinking fire was in
progress, sent in an alarm. The
blaze proved to be nothing more than
flash from a gasoline stove.
