EASILY EXCITED.


The Uni0n's latest Correspondents on the
Coart House Frontage.
One, apparently Of an excitable and
uncomfortable nature, who will re-
pent after he has had time for serious
reflection and composure. writes the
Union of this morning an impudent
letter on the effort that is being
made to have the board of supervi-
sors change the front of the proposed
court house from Fifteenth street to
Second avenue. The communication
is impudent because it seeks to inn
pugn the motives Of people who have
signed the petition to have the board
correct this particular one of its nu-
merous errors in connection with the
new court house. 1t is impudent
again because it would place a wrong
construction on the motives of those
signing the petition by asserting that
they are guided by property inter-
ests. 1t is impudent- also because it
seeks through endeavored sarcasm
to belittle the people personally who
have signed the petition. 1t is i'm
pudent because it seeks to reflect on
the bar of the county. Being
therefore so generally impudent
the letter is not worthy of seri-
Gus consideration except in so far as
it aims to draw parallel case be-
tween the part the county officers
have taken in the arrangement of the
court house and responsibility for the
error against which the public is
now contending, and that which it
says the postmaster would take
in the construction of the govern
ment building. This ridiculous COM
parison need only be confronted by
the fact that the postmaster has never
been consulted, nor has he ever
sought to be consulted as to the gen.
eral design, elevation or construc-
ton of the postoffice building. and
matters pertaining simply to the in
terror arrangement such as affect
absolutely the working depart
ment have been referred to him.
Nor has there been disposition to
face the entire building with special
reference to the comfort and con-
venience of the forces which may
from time to time occupy the build
ing.
No Comparison.
So that the opportunity for com
parison as between the part the pres
ent county officers have taken in the
court house design and frontage and
the postoffice situation vanishes and
all that remains of the Unions latest
is impudence and narrowness that
are in the least unworthy and very
undignifed.

AS TO THE HENNEPIN.
Misstatements Corrected by The Eagineel
In Charge.

Misstatements Corrected by the Engineer
In Charge.
MILAN, March 2l.-Editor Of TIE
ARGUS: The Union of March 20 con-
tains q paragraph in regard to the
Hennepin canal, taken from q Milan
paper. which. in justice to the public
and the q. S. engineer corps, de-
serves correction. As long as the
news (?) in question did not go any
further than the great Milan weekly,
! did not consider it necessary to re-
ply. as the people of Milan are suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with the facts and
also the reliability of the Milan paper
to draw their own conclusions, but
since it has been republished in Rock
Island. l wish You would please give
this reply as much prominence as the
original article received. I. In
regard to the statement that nothing
is being done on the canal, would
say, that outside work was carried on
until after Jan. 1, 1895, when it was
stopped on account of the excessively
cold weather. Did the intelligent
editor of the weekly expect the en-
ployes to carry on dredging and 9TH
er construction work through 20
inches of ice?
2. There are six regular employees
here instead of three. and additional
labor is hired when there is necessity
for it.
8. The omniscient editor states:
1--WE don't know of anything the en-
gineer does but draw his salary and
take pictures. The timekeeper is
employed to keep the time Of the en-
gineer and janitor, etc." II the
worthy editor was more assiduous in
searching for news instead of passing
much of his time in more questiona-
bic occupations, he would discover
that there were a great many other
things that he did not know anything
about. AS a matter of fact. the en-
gineer and clerk have attended to
their work on drawings. computa-
tions, etc. During the winter the
janitor-who is also an all-round
mechanic-and the three lock tenders
have attended to theirs, but the edi-
tor seems to be too busy with other
peoples duties to attend to his own.
4. When it was known that the
U. S. would not permit anyone and
everyone to 90 into the ice business
on the embankment of the canal, it
was considered by some a rank injus-
tice. The secretary of war then adj
vertised widely for bids for the priv
ilege, and received two bids, the
largest being $40 PEI year. 1t was
considered that the loss under this
price would be greater than the gain,
so both bids were rejected, and that
is why ..citizens don't take any ice
from the big ditch"
Soon to be Ready for Navigation.
In conclusion, allow me to state
that the material and plant for carry.
ing on the dredging. pile-driving and
other work this summer is either on
haod or ordered, and that the canal
will probably be declared open for
navigation within 80 days; that a
draw span will probably be erected
at the Moline bridge this season, but
until that time, tugs, small tow
boats and barges. such as are ordi-
narily used in canal traffic, can pass
under the bridge with their coal and
other merchandise. Very respect
fully. j. w. WOERMANN.

THE RULING MADE.
Judge Peasants Decision in
the Skinner Case.
TIE DEFENDANT not LIABLE

The Suit and the Legal Importance In
volyed = Fully 0e0, 900 ut Stake - The
Firm Of E. p. Reynolds q Co. and the
Disastrous Contract.
The suit of the Chemical National
bank of Chicago against Porter Skin
ner was decided by Judge Peasants
yesterday in favor of Mr.. Skinner.
There were pending in the circuit
court of this county eight suits, in
volving about 100000 against Mr..
Skinner as partner in the firm of
E. P. Reynolds & Co. MIR. Skinner
denied that he was a partner, and
the main point in the suit before
Judge Peasants was whether Skin
ner's denial of liability was true.
History Of the Case.
Z. P. Reynolds & Co. made a con-
tract in 1890 with the Fort Wayne,
Terre Haute & Southwestern railroad
to build about thirty miles of rail-
Indiana. This contract was sup.
posed to be a very valuable one. To
carry it out Reynolds & Co. applied
to Skinner for financial assistance,
which was granted, Reynolds & Co.
agreeing with Mr.. Skinner to give
him for the money advanced a share
Of the profits. In addition to the
construction OF the road. Reynolds &
Co. became interested in coal land:
and stone quarries on the line sup
posed to be very valuable. The debts
sued on in the cases mentioned were
chiefly connected with these schemes
which were disastrous to F.. p. Rey'
nolds & Co.
Claims Set Up.
1t was claimed by the plaintiff:
attorneys that SINNERS contract
with Reynolds & Co. made him 9
partner with them, and because Of
certain promises that it was claimed
he made to parties interested in the
coal and stone lands that he was now
estopped to deny that he was part
ner. After the evidence of the sew.
eral witnesses was heard, the plain.
tiff offered notes in evidence,
which were objected to by de.
PENDANTS attorneys. The court de.
cided, after argument of Messrs.
Osborn and Durham for the de.
PENDANT. and Judge Mcconnell fol
plaintiff, that the evidence did
not prove Skinner q partner and
that the notes made by E. P. Rey.
nolds & Co. did not bind him. The
plaintiffs dismissed the other suits
and took an appeal of the case or
trial to the appellate court. The
plaintiffs were represented by Swee
ney & Walker, of this city, and COT
feen & Mcconnell, Of Chicago. The
defendants by jackson & Hurst and
c. NJ. Osborn, of Chicago, and Hon
Charles Durham, of Geneseo.

The democrats of the Fifth ward at
their special caucus last evening de-
cided in favor of Thomas A. Fender
to fill the aldermanic vacancy caused
by the resignation of Robert Kusch-
mann. Mr.. Fender had been the
ward committees choice from the
first, although without solicitation
on his part, but in order that all
might be given a chance to have
something to say about the selection
of q candidate. the committee called
a meeting for last evening. when the
sentiments were unanimous that Mr..
Fender be declared the nominee by
reclamation, and the caucus so
recommended to the committee. Mr..
Fender being placed on the ticket.
This is ample evidence OF Mr.. Pen
der's popularity in the ward in
which he was born p years ago. and
where he has resided all his life.
For IL years he vas a switchman in
the Rock Island yards, and has al
ways been q sympathizer with the
cause of labor and devoted to it.
He was for a time president of the
ISwitchmen's union, and has also
been president of the Industrial
Home association. and has always
been prominently identified with the
Tri-City Labor congress.

usual good luck, is out OF the grasp
of the law. A Denver, Col, dispatch
says that Pat, who is wanted in half
