Lodge sued for Death BENEFIT.


Yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
Squire J. A. Dunning gave a hearing
in the case of Mrs. VilliIda Schneider
VS.. the Local Lodge OF the National
Bavarian Society of North America for
the recovery OF $500, due or the death
benefit of her late husbands certificate
of membership. The evidence was all
heard, and during its recital it was
brought out that her husband, Jacob
Schneider, had died one months ago
in the hospital.
About two years ago he gave mis- wife
the certificate and told her that when
he died she would receive the benefit,
amounting to $500, but the defense stat
ed that he had forfeited his right to
the benefit when he was given treat
ment in the hospital and his funeral
expenses were paid. The plaintiff al
legged that this certificate had never
been rightly or legally transferred, and
that the old certificate had never been
recalled and endorsed. Therefore the
new certificate was made out without
the knowledge of Mrs. Schneider.
Addleman and Jansen represented
the Plaintiff, and Arbentz the defend
ant. The decision will not be rendered
until to-day.

UNION STOGIE MAKERS
Unanimously Decide to Ask for nm
Advance of 20 Cents Per Thous-

UnnnimousI Decide to Ask for nm
Advance of 20 GEMS Per Thous-
and.
The Stogie Makers of Wheeling, be-
longing to the union, held a large meet
ing at Trades Assembly Hall to decide
whether they would demand an increase
of % cents per thousand stogies.
They have been receiving $3.50 per
thousand. which, it is claimed by the
manufacturers is % cents more than
ds paid in Pittsburg and so cents more
than in some other places. But the men
say that the cost Of living has mater
tally increased; and that. as the 60 cent
sevenue tax has been removed by the
general government, the manufacturers
can well afford to grant the increase
asked.
AT the meeting last night it was de-
cided unanimously to ask an increase
of % cents per thousand on all grades
Of handmade stogies.
Mr.. Augustus Pollock, proprietor of
the Crown cigar plant, had already
given his employees an advance of 10
cents per thousand and had told them
that he would grant them an additional
advance of Is cents per thousand, be-
ginning August list, 1901.

Great Golf Match This Afternoon
Between the Two ms
Six on n Side-Ladies to Serve

The teams are fairly matched, with
possibly some slight advantage in ia
vor OF the Lowlanders, az, for instance,
being on their own links and therefore
the likelihood of being steadier in an
emergency. However, the killers have
some brilliant players among their
team, and II they can only keep their
nerve the match will be a good one.
Play will be called at 4 o'clock. Dur
ing the afternoon the ladies of the

Want Street Strengthened.
A committee of Twenty-third street
property holders was before the conn
Gil seeking the condemnation of 20
feet on the east side of the block south
of Ninth avenue, in order to
straighten the street. Hon. William
McEniry was spokesman for the COM
mittee. He urged early action, as he
understood the coming spring several
houses are to be erected in the block
in question. He advised the begin
ming of condemnation proceedings by
the city attorney, promising that resi-
dents on the street would share the
payment of whatever damages are
assessed. A motion offered by Aid
Anderson that the interested parties
submit their proposition in writing
to the council was adopted.
Protest Against Paving.
Owners of property in the block be-
tween Second and Third avenues on
Twenty-first street protested against
the paving of the thoroughfare in
front of their property, holding that,
as the street had no opening at the
north. the Improvement will be of
no benefit but to the Burlington rail-
road company. There is now in the
hands of the board of local improve
ments a petition for the paving of
the street from Second south TO Tenth
avenue. The protest was referred to
the city attorney to report at the next
meeting of the council

Rock Island county, like other COM
munities, is interested in the Curtis
hard road bills and how the improv-
ing of roads under them will affect tax
alton. The bills provide for state
engineer of roads to give advice and
suggestions on road drainage and
construction, to prepare plans, speci-
fieations and estimates of cost for
public road officials. to hold public
meetings annually in each congress
sional district, to instruct aud edu-
cate highway commissioners and
others in the building and mainten-
ance of roads; that the several town
ships shall determine by vote the
general character, extent and loca-
ton of any hard roads to be built, the
state engineer of roads to have no
power to start an Improvement; he
merely furnishes plans, etc and sees
that the roads are built in accordance
herewith.
After the roads are built the state
shall contribute $40 per mile per
year toward the cost of maintenance
This money must be spent in keeping
the roads in repair. The state from
general taxation shall pay oue-half
the cost of building hard roads. Cas-
two-thirds of all state taxes are paid

CLOSE CALL ATAFIRE.
Capt. James v. MuIcahy, of No. 3
Hose Company, Falls Into

STRUGGLE IN THE ICY WATER
Two Small Morning Blazes-
Spark lgnites Sylvan
Bridge.

Shortly after z o'clock this morn
ing The ire department was called to
the levee north of the Rock Island &
Peoria depot. where fire had broken
out beneath the old coal dump. The
dump consists of wooden frame
covered with planks slanting to near
the waters edge and sheeted with
metal, and is used for transferring
coal from cars to boats.
The place is common resort for
tramps, and it is supposed they had q
fire last night which became commu-
nicated to the dump and finally to the
bank. which is composed of ratings
at this point.
When the depar tment arrived the
wind was tanning the flames back IN.
der the bank. making a very awkward
place TO reach. as well as most dis
agreeable one, on account of the ex-
IRENE cold. The fire was finally SUBJ
dued after determined fight. The
damage was insignificant, the dump
being old and rotten.
Narrow Escape for hfuIcahy.
But for the fact that Capt. James
V. Mulcahy, of the No. 3 hose compa-
ny, is a good swimmer, a tragedy
might have been enacted while the
fire was in progress. In order to get
at the flames IL was necessary to tear
up the sheet iron on top of the dump,
aud Capt. Mulcahy was at work on
the slippery and sloping surface when
his footing gave way and he was pre-
cipitated into the open water near
shore, which at this point is about
eight feet deep. 1t was impossible
for anyone to go down over the slip
perry iron to his rescue and it was
equally impossible for him to get up
the perpendicular bank where he fell
in. So he was compelled to swim in
the icy water some distance down
stream against the cutting wind and
in the high waves that were running.
When he got out he was hurried
away to a fire. and u change of clothing
procured. After this a rope was
brought and the men who worked on
the dump were fastened to it.
Blaze In a Barn
While the ire on the leyee was TAX
ing the attention of the lremen o
blaze started in the roof of

Avenue hotel. 1t was squelched
with q chemical extinguisher. A
spark from an engine, or from CHIN
ney, is supposed to have started it.
Bridge Takes Fire.
About $50 last evening small fire
was discovered burning in the floor of
the wagon bridge across Sylvan water
and an alarm was turned in. Before
the firemen arrived some one stopped
the devouring element with bucket
of water. A spark from an engine is
supposed to have been responsible for
this fire also:
