FIND MOONEY BOYS BODY
wedged Between Two Logs Near to Where
Fatality Occurred.

Fatality Occurred.
The body of 6-year-old Edward
Francis Mooney, who was drowned
Saturday, was found at 10 O'Clock this
| morning wedged between two logs of
the raft about forty feet from the
place where it is supposed he fell in.
The search had gone on uninterrup-
| tedly under the direction of the boys
father, Edward Mooney, ever since
the accident. Hope of recovering the
remains had about been abandoned
| when this morning it was decided to
follow instructions given a lady friend
of the Mooney family by a Davenport
fortune teller, who said that the body
| was in the water very close TO
| where the fatality occurred.
Assisting Mr. Mooney in the search
were Martin Kelly, Herman Schale,
Cordt Voss, Tady Kelly, Tom Hughes,
Charles Muhs and Charles Ginane.
Mr. Mooney, with two of the men,
rowed about dragging with graphing
hooks. The upper brazil of the raft,
| which was moored just above the water
works, was removed. Then the ropes
holding together the logs of the next
| brazil were loosened. While Martin
Kelly and Charles NUNS were rolling
the logs, the former spied the little
| body, which was lifted into the row
boat and taken ashore. Mr.. Mooney
was overcome at the sight of the re-
| mains, which were in such a.state of
decomposition that they were all but
| unacceptable. Throwing his coat
over the body he picked it up in his
arms and insisted on carrying it
home, but he was induced by the
other mem ers of the searching party
| that it was not best to do this, and it
was placed in a box and conveyed to
Undertaken Wheelan's parlors, where
it was prepared for burial. An in
quest is being held this afternoon by
Coroner Law. Eckhart.
The funeral occurred this after
noon, with interment at st. Mar
guerite's cemetery, Davenport.

ROAD is REACHING OUT.
Rock Island Said to Have Arranged for
Important Connecting Line.

A dispatch from New York says:
"Rumors of a deal whereby the Rock
Island has made an important acqui-
sition are coming into circulation in
Wall street, and may explain the re-
cent inside buying and strength OF
the stock. 1t is said that the road is
shortly to take over. through an al
ready fully arranged merger, an inn
portant connecting line. Rumor var
les as to this property. One story is
that it is the St. Louis & San Francis
co; another which seems to have more
circumstantial confirmation says that
the st. Louis Southwestern is to be
taken over from the Goulds and fnerg-
ed with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
and that subsequently the Rock Island
will absorb this combined property,
The recent activity and strength
of the St. Louis Southwestern issues,
which, by the way, have been more
or less due to Flower buying, seem
somewhat confirmatory of the latter
story. Only today Flower brokers
were active in the stocks which were
quite strong"

NO SMOKING ON DUTY
Brownies to BE Denied a Precious Priv
iIege After Aug. L.

Brownies to BE Denied a Precious Priv
iIege After Aug. L.
Beginning Aug. 1 the brownies will
be obliged to do their smoking while
off duty. They won't be barred from
accepting cheroots along the route
providing they pocket them and keep
them away from their pie-receivers
until they get under roof where the
public will not be witnesses to their
''nicotine-hitting."
The PRONUNCIATION of such an order
has been determined on by Philippine
Miller, the head of the blue-coated
band of little ones. Phil says he does
not want to deprive the boys of any
enjoyment they may be able to get in
connection with their official work,
but then he can't see where the fun
comes in in parading around the
streets with a bunch of rope or cab
bage-such as is usually handed out
to the billy club swingers-surely the
aroma does not contribute to the bet
terment of the sanitary condition of
the city, and is not relished by those
who happen in the wake of the stream
of smoke that one of the brownie boys
throws out when he gets his work in
on a cigar. Then. too, Phil thinks
strong tobacco makes his fellows dir
zy and causes their thinkers to wan
der from attention to matters they
are delegated to guard. Therefore he
considers it wise move all around to
put stop to smoking while on duty.
He has no objections, however, to the
boys lighting up when they are around
Headquarters or at home.

WhatP WhatP

And now it is in the loyal Republic
can empire of Roosevelt that a negro
has been hung by the neck, and mar
rowly escaped burning at the stake,
and it was not for outraging white
woman either, but for stealing a purse
of filthy lncre- 1t WAS about the mid
die of last month that this outrage
took place, but it was not reported by
the loyal Associated Press along with
its batch of Southern horrors. The
18th of April is the date when Richard
Bradley, negro, was taken by mob
OF 200 people from Tallman, hamlet
in the Ramepo mountains, Rockland
county, and strung up to tall elm
tree, where he was held until it was
thought he was dead, when he was cut
down by his wife and taken to her
cabin where he was finally resuscitated.
At one time the mob had determined
on burning the wretch, in Southern
style, and the fuel had been gathered
together, but by one of those sudden
impulses which control mobs. his fate
was changed to hanging, and this
probably finally resulted in saving his
life. 1t was not the fault of the mob,
however, that he escaped crossing over
the Stygian river.

THE reputed new system of teleg-
raphy, by which pictures may be
transmitted by wire, is nothing new in
principle-mainly a modification of
the Balm electro-chemical system, the
details of which are published in a
work on the Electric Telegraph by
Tichnor & Field, bearing an imprint
OF 1866. 1t is the simplest form of
telegraphy ever worked, and is based
upon merely change of color by
chemical action, wherever an electric
al stylus passes over the lines of writ
ing or drawing at the sending station
which ut that instant transmits an
electrical impulse to systematically
acting pointer ut the receiving Office.
As the stylus passes successfully over
the whole surface of the sensitized
paper. it follows that the chemically
produced copy will be an exact repro.
duction of the one from which the
electrical impulses were given. So
the grand blare of trumpets made by
the Sunday papers over transmission
OF scenes long distances up to the hour
OF going to press, is but the adaptation
of scientific principles that have been
known nearly half q century.

Some Foolhardy Ventures.

Carrie Hope, oi Seattle. and Sadie
Mason. Of san Francisco, have deter
mined upon making 4 foolhardy at
tempt 10 reach Alaska in 4 cat-boat,
which Is 4 onc-mast sallboat, having
its mast stepped well forward, carrying
a single forc-and-aft sail, extended by
q gail and boom. 1t j. not merely to
gain notorlctv that these girls will
set out upon their desperate venture,
but to save the cost OF passage by
the ordinary means OF travel. Miss
Hope has had considerable experience
in yachting, and Miss Mason has been
TO sea and overcome the disposition to
81 eave jonah when old Neptune
shakes his watery sides. Miss Hope is
an excellent cook and her companion
an experienced laundry girl, and they
expect, if nothing better turns up to
engage il those caliings, which meet
with excellent recompense from the
appreciative miners. They will, when
they arrive at Skagway sell their boat
for sufficient probably to take them to
Dawson. At Lake Bennett they pro-
pose to build raft, with which they
will shoot White Horse rapids.
Miss Mason has been in the northern
mines and made quite stake in the
laundry business, which experience
she thinks will be of service in the
contemplated undertaking. They
think that the trip should not con-
sumo more than a month and that
they will arrive in the diggings in
time to have a hand in the "clean.
up" Another instance of feminine
bravery, or insanity, whichever it may
be, is afforded by the determination of
Belle Shane, OF Norriston, Pa, to ac-
company Capt. Andrews during
3,O00-mile trip in 20-foot dory, from
Atlantic City to Havre, France. The
dory to be used is built of steel ribs
covered with aluminium, AMI is named
the Superba. They start on the 18th
inst, and expect to reach Havre in
sixty days.
