Agnes Hills.

Wedding OF Alex Rasmussen and Miss

Weed officiating. William Mitchell,
of Rock Island, was best man, and
Miss Jennie Hills, the BRIDES sister,
was bridesmaid. Mr.. and Mrs. Rass-
mussen will make their home in
Beardstown.
At the parsonage of the Methodist

noon, was celebrated the marriage of
John Siemon and Miss Essie Ellis.
Rev. III. o. Pratt performed the cere-
mony. The attendants were Charles
f. Siemon and Miss Fannie Ransom.
The groom is clerk in Maucker's

secret.

and those of the gentle persuasion
show their appreciation by pat

week and thereby contribute to-
ward the permanency of base ball in
Rock Island.
With the exception of one or two
papers on the other side of the river,
the Davenport and Moline journals
have been practically ignoring the Rock
Island bali games. The Rock Island
papers have been liberal with their
nefghbors, and especially so in the
matter of past baseball events, races,
etc.. on the other side of the stream.
Davenport and Moline patronize the
games here very literally, but we
would like to see more of the people
from those towns get in on good
thing. The papers there should tell
those who fail to visit the Twelfth
street park what they are, missing.
Rock Island certainly has jewel of
a field captain in Billy Botenus. A
frst-class player, cool and collected
at all times, he more than does his
share of the fighting to prevent vic
tory from perching upon the banner
of the enemy. He is great general,
the men on the team like him. and
when he gives the word his orders are
carried out to the letter, and it is sell
dom that he errs in judgment He
realizes that games are not won by
kicking and rag-chewing
with the umpire. Billy says the way
to win is to windy playing ball. AS
long as he has been here he has not
been heard to utter an unbecoming
syllab or conduct himself other than
a gentleman. And it might be said,
also, that he is surrounded by play
ers whose gentlemanly demeanor on
the diamond has won for them the
of all patrons of the game
here. It's a club that Rock Island is

JOS. HAWORTH, THE ACTOR.
1t Was Feared That He Peris he'd in the
Windsor HOtel-He is in PhiIadel-

CLEVELAND, o., March 2O.-The rela-
tions in this city of Joseph Haworth,
the actor, are fearful that he perished
in the Windsor hotel fire. They have
heard nothing from him since the
burning of the hotel. His sister,
Mrs. j. E. O'Connor, received on
Thursday a letter that was mail
ed at Atlantic City on Wednes-
day. In the letter Mr.. Haworth
said he would start that day for
New York and would stav at
the Windsor hotel. He said he was
going in company with Rev. f. P.
Moore, of No. .SS Fulton street, Wake
field, n. Y. A telegram has been sent
to Mr.. Moore, but no reply has been
received. Mr.. Haworth's relatives have
not given up hope, but they can not
understand why no news OF. his where
abouts has been received if he is still
alive
Later-A special from Philadelphia
says: Joseph Haworth arrived here
Sunday night and. registered at the
Hotel Lafayette. He came direct from
Atlantic City.

was made Sunday in removing the
debris of thesWindsor hotel fire in the
effort to discover the bodies that are
supposed to lie buried there. All day
long 200 men labored as much as the
misty, muddy, steaming mass of broken
stones, twisted iron and crush
ed brick would admit. A heavy,
sitting vapor arose continually
retarding progress of the workers and
keeping them for the most part away
from the center of the ruins. From
Fifth avenue much of the debris that
had fallen into the street had
been cleared away and the
men were able to reach a portion
of the first floor. What small portions
of wall could be blasted down were
leveled, but the great pillar of brick at
the 47th street end stillsstood. 1t was
in such 3 threatening condition that
the police notified the residents of the
houses across the street to remain in
the rear of their dwellings to prevent
any fatalities when the crash came.
Up to midnight no bodies had been
discovered and no more deaths from
injuries received at the fire were re
ported from the hospitals, but a num-
Der of the injured were still in seri-
Gus condition. The death list remains
the same as Saturday-si -siXteen--and
the list of missing has been reduced to
a., as number of those previously un-
accounted for reported in person or
had been located by friends.
Just before midnight two sections of
the rear or eastern wall of the hotel
fell in with mighty crash. For
tunately no one was near and the col
lapse was more beneficial than other
wise.
Two engines were still on the ground
at late hour throwing streams ON the
wreck.
The only things found during the
early part of the night were set of
artificial teeth. on gold plate and some
articles of clothing.
Sunday night the persons living in
the three houses nearest to the wall on
47th street were ordered out by the po-
lice because of the danger of its being
blown down by the high wind.
The ruins still shoulder and the
smoke and gases blowing in the faces
of the workers made their task one of
great toll and hardship. From time to
time men were compelled to desist
for a few minutes. By midnight
the laborers had excavated back
from the front building line and to,
the sub-basement for distance
of fifteen feet. The great value of
jewels and jewelry in the wreck made
the men work carefully. Each shovel
full of the refuse was carefully exam
ined before being placed in the carts.
Policemen both in uniform and in the
gUise of foremen mingled with the
workingmen and carefully watched
their every movement. More
than that the men were
searched at the end of their shifts.
Many of the men resented this, saying
that it was unnecessary and protest
ing that no man would think of taking
such property, and especially under the
circumstances. The contractors and
the officials of the building depart
ment were obdurate, however, and said
they would take no chances and that
every one must be searched.
