The report Of Col. Hughes on the
Rock Island arsenal is exhsustiv
and complete in every detail. Facts
and figures are given which show
that wages in the arsenal are higher
than are paid by private establish
ments In the three cities. Capt.
Blunt IL commended for his careful
adjustment Of wages, in which work
he extended to the workmen q shade
Of Partially. Col. Hughes gives to D.
sulted lists Of the wages paid in the
arsenal, and extracts from the pay
rolls Of shops in Rock Island. Moline
and Davenport. These lists sho Y
that the arsenal workmen have no
cause to complain, but have cause for
grateful appreciation ofCapt. Blunt's
wage adjustment. Comparison is
also made with the pay roll Of east.
ern arsenals. with the same result.
Col. Hughes has made specific re.
ports. covering each and all classes
OF workmen in each and OF the shops.
The report contains upward Of 1O.OoO
words. Harness makers. cutters
and machine operators. bridge en-.
giueers. painters helpers, carpsn.

Cyclist TaylOre Injured in a Bad Spill at
 Philadelphia.
Was Leading Starbuck by Lap in Their Twenty Mile
 Race.
The Frenchrnan's Right Shoulder Dis located and His Left Knee
 Wrenched.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-The twenty mile paced race between Edouard Taylore, the French middle distance champion, and J. Frank Star buck of this city, at Saenger Hall to- night, was spoiled by an unfortunate accident to Taylore. The accident oc- cured on the sixth mile, Taylore at that time having gained a lead of lap, which, at Saenger Hall, is one-tenth of a mile. On the next lap the tandem team took him at a terrific clip around the tureen-shaped course
 As the foreigner turned into the home stretch the spill took place Taylore's wheel dashed up the incline toward the outside of the track, and the machine and rider brought up against a post, the wheel being smashed completely, and Taylore rebounding and falling on the track. He managed to get out of the road just as Starbuck and his pac- CTS came tearing around the turn, or otherwise more men might have been hurt. Taylore was not seriously injur- ca. His right shoulder was thrown out of place, and his left knee was wrench ed.
 While the race lasted TayIore i'm pressed the 5000 spectators with his ability, many comparin~ him with Jimmy Michael. Starbuck, too. rode Tn splendid form, as his time of 10:28 81-2 for five miles shows
 Taylore got the lead at the start and Tor the first mile 1t was a regular pro- cession. Then the foreigner began to draw away. At the end of theSsecond mile Taylore was almost a lap to the good, and when the mishap occurred he was over a lap ahead. After that Starbuck reeled off mile after mile at a steady clip. merely covering the twenty miles necessary to secure first money.
 The one mile international pursuit race was won by Lamberjack and Gou- goltz, the French team. Time, 2:O3 4-5

Douglas County's Grand Jury Will Return
 Indictm entS.
Threats of the Mob Leaders Believed to Have Fallen
 on Deaf Ears.
It Is Certain That Relatives of Uber Will Not Assist in the
 Prosecution.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 CARSON, Jan. 15.-Before the close of another week it will be known whether the members of the mob that lynched Murderer Uber are to be brought to trial for their participation in the brutal tragedy. The feeling throughout the Carson valley is that, despite the whispered warnings of pos sible trouble for the jurors. they will attempt to bring each of the lynchers to justice, and they undoubtedly have the names of most of the party.
 It requires twelve votes out of the seventeen of the jury to indict the lynchers of Uber. There is every indi- cation that the grand jurors are not in sympathy with the lynchers, and are making a full investigation Of the case. There is no doubt that every possible pressure is being brought to bear on the jury to prevent an indictment. If the lynchers can get six men to vote against the indictment they are safe. There is only one man on the jury who is regarded as a sympathizer with the lynchers.
 Everything is being closely watched by the people of Genoa, and as long as the jury sends for important witness es and keeps Investigating 1t will be regarded as evidence that 1t means business. It has now the name of an other woman who helped make the masks, and she will be called to tell for whom she made them. Already the jury knows the names of nearly ev- cry participant in the lynching.
 The argument the friends of the lynchers are now making is that the trial of SO many people for, a criminal offense Will be a great source of ex- pense to the county and bankrupt it.. This talk is having considerable weight with certain class of people.
 There has been considerable talk of a suit against the county of Douglas by the relatives of Uber, but 1t is now quite certain there will be nothing Of the sort. When Uber was lynched his relatives in the East wrote to Ali Chartz, his attorney, for full particu- lars. The attorney busted himself in the case a good deal, and, as Uber's uncle was quite wealthy, it was sup posed that money would be spent lav- ishly to bring the offenders to justice in criminal suits and civil suits for damages. As soon as the relatives as- certained that civil suits would cost some money they concluded that they were in no hurry to bring them. Here are some extracts from the letter re- ceived from Uber's sister by his attor- ney. mention of which was made in The Call to-day:
 "The Lord has soved me from all feeling against them. There is no thought Tn my heart of that kind. The Lord has filled my soul with love and good will to everybody, and I can pray for these fellows who murdered my brother. Please read Matt. 5: A. Ro- mans. l. 19, 20, 21. I will admit that I do not know very much. See 1st Co., rinthians. l: 27.'
 In another letter the attorney is ad- vised to read the tracts sent him by Uber's sister, and look for his reward in heaven for the legal services already done for Uber.

DRIED FRUIT
 IS GETTING SCARCE
California Farmers Have No Great Stock of Any Kind
 on Hand.
Result Will Be That What Is in the Market Will Bring Good
 Prices.
Special pispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 NEW YORK. Jan. 15-The Journal of Commerce prints the following; In a cir cular issued to-day Hartwig & Bennett say: Never before has the dried fruit situation at this season of the year had as bright an outlook for the coming trade as it has at the present time. The de- mand Is good, exceptionally so for Janu- ary, and, what is more astonishing, the stock is very light. and no one seems to realize 1t: from information that we get rom our representatives in California (and we have that State pretty well covered) there is very little left, if any thing, in the fruit line out there. This is an unusual state of affairs in that sec ton of the country, as the rancherS, as rule, in previous years, have held back would not sell when they had an oppor- tunfty, but would wait until about now, when they would be induced to consign IL to Eastern markets to have II gwen away regardless of values and to the detriment of jobberS here who were car rying stock they had given up their good money for. This created the wrong kind of competition that they have had to meet, as this class of shipments are sold to any one regardless of quantity, and at prices that were less than market value. But this cannot be continued now, and the 1obbers need not have any fear from that source, for the simple reason, as stated above, that the Western market Is pretty well cleaned up, and besides, ever since December l the Pacific Coast mas had a large pilgrimage or buyers from Eastern cities looking Tor snaps. but one and all found that prices are and have been ruling here at lower figures affairs still continues, and 1t will be taken advantage of '
