A Disputed Claim.

Jacob A. Harmon, of Peoria, con-
sulting engineer on the reservoir, was
before the waterwoIks committee of
the city council last night with bill,
the payment of which was denied
by the former administration because
it is mostly for the hiring of an as
sistant, whose services, it is contend
ed, were not needed at all times, and
because Mr.. Harmon had caused the
work to be extended beyond the limit
agreed upon for it's completion. En-
Mayor Medill met with the COM
mittee, upon invitation, and stated
why he had refused to honor the
claim. a settlement was not reached.

DEATH OF {, ]. LONG.
One of Rock Islands Pioneer
Business Men Passes Away
Suddenly.
ATTACK OF NEURALGIA OF HEART.

Had Been Ill With the Fatal Disease But
Since 1870, Having Been Continuously
EDgaged in the Conduct of a Grocery
store-A Valued Citizen.
Charles James Long. one of Rock
Islands pioneer business men, died
suddenly at 2 o'clock this morning of
neuralgia of the heart at his home,
140j Fourth avenue.
The announcement of Mr.. Longs
death was a great shock to his ac-
quaintances, as he had been OF his
store during yesterday, and appeared
to be enjoying his usual health, al
though for a year he had been ailing
with bowel troubles. He suffered
but one attack of the fatal disease.
He soon rallied from it, however, and
at midnight told his family that he
had fully recovered from it. Shortly
afterward the serious effects of the
shock became evident in the alarming
condition of Mr.. Long, and he grad
ually sank painlessly into his everlast-
ing sleep.
Mr.. Long had been a resident of
Rock Island from 1870, since which
year he had been constantly engaged in
the grocery business, his initial VEN
ture being steamboat supply store,
which he launched on First avenue.
and successfully conducted for long
period, eventually moving to Second
avenue, where he had since been
catering to the general grocery trade.
Mr.. Long was a native of County
Cork, Ireland, where he was born 63
years ago.
Comes to America When Boy.
When a mere boy he came to Amer
lea, settling in New Orleans, where he
secured employment on steam boat,
following the river in various capaci-
ties between that city and ST. Louis,
ard later between St. Louis and st.
Paul until 1870, when he took up res
idence in Rock Island.
He was married ut St. Louis Feb.
"a. 1868, to Miss Maria NJ. Mears,
who survives with four children:
Drs. Charles j., of Dubuque, and
Walter NJ. of this city. and Mrs. G.
l.. Silvis, of South Heights, and Miss
Evelyn b., at home.
Mr.. Long was a mem Der of st. Paul
lOu8e, N l., the hnlgnIs Oh I1OIlOI
and the Retail Merchants Protective
association. He was energetic and
upright in his business transactions,
never failing to contribute toward
every enterprise that had tendency
to benefit the town, the upbuilding of
which he witnessed and which.
he loved. He was model cit
izen-one of those men whose every
act is for good. Devoted to his home
and family, those who were dearest to
him will have the sympathy of the
community in their severe bereave-
ment, while Rock Island will mourn
for the loss of one of her valued citi-
Zens.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning.
