1880 she was married to Patrick
Roddcn and a few years later came
to America. The couple first settled
in Canada, afterward taking up their
residence in Troy, y. Y, In 1852 they
came west to Rock Island, travelling
part sof the way in wagons on ac-
count of the incompleteness of rail
roads at that time
The husband died in 1856 and was
buried in Davenport. Since that time
Mrs. Rodden has made her home with
her daughter, where her death took
place today. For one of her age de-
ceased displayed remarkable vitality
up to within a few days of the end.
Her last illness began Sunday with a
cold and the development OF compli-
cations led to dissolution.
Deceased was the mother of 10
children. three of whom are living.
The funeral viii take place at 8
o'clock Friday morning from the
home of Mrs. Dolly to ST. Joseph's
church, and the interment will take

sorely bereaved in the death of their
14-months-old daughter, Edna Mild

ternoon at the family home, 1SO6h

brain fever, with which the little
one had suffered for period of
five weeks. The blow is a sad one
to the parents, and they have the
sympathy of the community in their
nour of trial. The funeral will take

In this regard it may be interesting for
the public to know that the Yellowist

the middle of the month Of March than
ever before, and the question is WHY ?
and the echo answers WHY? and the

ROOIe[S IQke Notice.

All rooters, old and young, married
aud single, of every kind, nature de-
gree or quality are invited to attend a
Rooter's Session to be held this even
ing in the Hall of the House of Deleg-
ates. The object of the meeting is to
give new impetus to the good old
national game The chairman of the
meeting has not yet been selected, but
there is a close race between Uncle Bill
Houghtaling and Doc Wiborg. Every
body that has anything to say about
the national game or who can propose
anything which will be interesting and
novel will be listened to, and his words
will be carefully taken down by an ex-
pert stenographer and afterwards en-
crossed on sheepskin. The rooters are
hungry for ideas which will move
things along, and we want men with
suggestion.
The national game has fallen in Porto
Rico to a great extent. The enthusiasm
which marked the first series of the
old league teams has disappeared and
the bleachers are bleaching alone and
neglected. The local fans want to re
medy this, and are anxious to discover
some plan whereby interest can be re
newed. 1t had been suggested that two
ladies teams be selected to play the
game, but everybody wanted to be the
umpire and the manager SO the game
had to be called off. This is only one
of the ideas mentioned, but there are
many more which will be discussed
There will be no price of admission
The doors will be wide open to al
fans, rooters and their friends. We
want to make this meeting success

This Morning 5 Investigation

The hearing of the defense in the SO
called Las Turbas investigation was
resumed this morning before Secretary
Harlzell Jose Mauleon was present in
charge of Lieut.. Carlo of the Insular
Police
The morning was mostly taken up
with the examination of Benito Alfonso,
who it is charged is one of the "s.bad
men >. Alfonso, of course, denied every
charge made against him, and stated
that he had been shot at by some one
in the rooms of the Federation Libre.
When closely examined he was CON-
PEELED to admit that he did not see the
shooting, but believed that it had come
from the Federation rooms because he
did not expect it to come from any,
where else He also stated that all the
trouble which existed between the Fe-
deration Libre and the company he ira
yelled with was due to the presence
and the Vaccinations of Santiago Igle.

When informed by the Secretary
that Iglesias had not been in San Tuan
for many months he replied that it
made no difference, that he wrote his
instructions to his friends. When
requested to give one instance where
Iglesias was responsible for any distur
bance which had taken place he was
unable to do so, but stated that they ali
were brought about by Ig1esias. He
stated that his friends were willing tc
make peace with the Federation mer
and that he believed they were willing
to do the same, but that Iglesias pre-
vented it.

to make statement, which was granted

Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil

New York, June Ioth.-Advices from
London state that Great Britain is
already beginning to feel the effects Of
the peace between the Beers and the
British, Stocks in London have been
soaring upward to unheard of prices,
and business in general has taken a
hitherto unheard of impetus
The city is in gala attire, and
thousands of strangers are arriving
from all over the continent.
The theatres are filled nightly and
all the gloom of the war has passed off
as in cne day. Patriotic celebrations
are held everywhere and the city is in
a delirium of popular manifestations.
TheIrumor that there was plot to
kill the King has not had any effect
whatsoever, and every indication is
that the Coronation will be the grandest
festival which Great Britain has ever
seen. Hotel and boarding house prices
are beyond reach and in the suburbs
tents are being erected and lunch
rooms are springing up everywhere
The official representatives of the
various nations are already beginning
to arrive.

Ashes of the Botanical Gardens.
From time to time we catch glimpses

fifty feet, but no one calls to another +;
there is disinclination to make loud
noises, SO, with some gesture of recog-

we plod onward.
Near the bank, in the Rue Percee,
perhaps forty PAGES north of the Rue de
d'H6pital, pile of faggots calls atten-
to the work of the French soldiery.
The condition of the ruins is eloquent of

Gus. A fight ensued during which the
police drew their clubs, and the snar-
chists Immediately attacked them with
sticks stones, revolvers and knives
Twelve policemen were badly wounded,
by being shot and cut.
Within half an hour the town was
in all uproar, and all night long the
people of the town have been hunting
anarchists, and wherever any have been
found severe punishment has been admi-
nistered. Six anarchists have been arrest
ed, and it is feared that the people will
attempt to mete out summary punish
ment. Most of the Paterson anarchists
are Italians, and every Italian in the
city is being carefully watched by the
police Among those arrested is the
wife of anarchist Bresci, who is one OF
the leaders of the Paterson band. Fur
ther trouble of serious nature is ex
peeted from the place as the attitude OF
the people is very threatening. None
of the policemen are in very serious
condition.

has entered Caracas at the head of a
large army; that President Castro has
fled and is being closely pursued by
the rebel troops, that almost the entire
government forces have taken cause
with the rebels, that Matos has declared
a provisional government, until the
election of a President to take the place
of Castro
The advices state that a small
steamer arrived yesterday at Port-a-
Spain bringing the news that the gov,
ernment troops at La Guayra had join
ed the forces of General Matos. That
the march to Caracas was begun imme-
diately thereafter, and that upon the
arrival of General Matos at Caracas it
was discovered that there was fighting
going on in the city. Immediately
thereafter large numbers of the gov
eminent troops surrendered and joined
the forces of the rebels.
The entry into the lefty was made
without difficulty, no opposition being
encountered. Castro and his cabinet
had fled, and troops were Immediately
dispatched TO follow them. General
Matos Immediately issued a manifesto
declaring a provisional military govern
ment, until the regular election of a
new president to take the place Of
Castro. The election has probably.
taken place by this time. The rebels
have posted guards all along the coast
and are preparing to capture the ft1git-
