RITA Is NOW BEING USED
IN LAYING PACIFIC CABLES

Members of Company a, of this
city, who served through the Spanish
American war will remember the
ship Rita, upon which three com
panies of the 9th regiment were
transported from Charleston to Cuba
and after tiresome wait in the wa
ters of that isle went to Porto Rico.
The average member of the company
from this city will recall the boat
with a feeling of thankfulness, for
Company y was not one of those that
had passage upon her. At that time
she had only recently been captured
from the Spanish.
The Rita is now called the Burnside
and is devoted almost exclusively to
the cable-laying service. In the Phil
ippines she laid nearly 1000 miles of
inter-island cable, and now she has
undertaken to pay out about 1900
miles of sea telegraph wire between
Portland, Sitka, Juneau and other
points touched in the Lynn canal sec
ton.

.SWITCHMAN MANNED:
CLOSE CALL FOR HIS LIFE

II. H. Ross, residing at 500 Twenty
fourth street. was the victim of "a
grievous accident which occurred just
before noon today while working as
switchman on the house" track in
the Burlington yards in this city and
which resulted in the loss of his left
hand at the wrist.
While passing train going in the
opposite direction. he leaned out too
far from the top of the car on which
he was clinging and was knocked off
and thrown under the wheels, sever
ing his hand and intiicting some pain
full wounds about the head. He was
conveyed to his home. where Dr.. +.
NJ. Sala attended him. The wounds
sustained about the head are not
thought to he serious. The escape
from instant death was a narrow
one.

point and that the incident is there
fore closed.
A blaze caused by spontaneous
combustion in slack in the coal bin
at the Rock Island Stair works called
out the No. 1 hose company at 5:15
this morning. There was little dam
age.
At the meeting of the Rock Island
County Medical society at the Manu-
facturers' hotel in Moline last even
ing, DR.. Ferdinand Henrotin, of Chi
cago. read a paper on "Gynecology,"
which formed an interesting topic,
the entire evening being taken up
with its discussion by those present.
The usual social features were enjoy
ed by the members of the society.
Mrs. l.. \. Dorman was most pleas
antly surprised last evening at her
home on Sixteenth street, a party of
about forty friends calling to remind
her of her goth birthday. The evening
was devoted to various social diver
sions, music being feature. Refresh
ments were served. The hostess was
remembered with several pretty and
appropriate presents.

COUNCIL TAKES
THE FIRST STEP
Proposes to Pave Fourteenth Ave-
nue. Under New
Law.

The city council met at , o'clock
this afternoon and took drive over
the Ninth street road to view the
Milan bridges before deciding upon
some plan of action to be pursued
with reference to them.
Before leaving the city the alder
men held a brief session, and a reso-
luton introduced by Aid. Anderson,
in which the people of the southeast
section of the city will be much in
terested, was passed. The resolution
instructed the board of local improve
ments to proceed with the prelimina-
ries and the preparation of an ordi-
nance providing for the improving of
Fourteenth avenue from Thirtieth
street to Forty-siXth street, the same
to be done under the new law without
petition from the property holders.
This section of street is one of the
worst in the city and various eXpedi-
ents for improving it have been dis
cussed, the latest being the circula-
ton of Il paper for subscriptions of
S. from each of the residents of the
neighborhood who would be benefit
ted by it. The property holders along
the street are not willing alone to
bear the cost of the Improvement,
most of them being of moderate
means and the lots being laid out so
that each resident on the avenue
would have half a block of paving to
settle for Therefore it will have to
be done under the new law, if at all.
The amount already subscribed will
be used to assist in defraying the
costs, which will be further lightened
by the portion of the Tri-City Rail-
way company, the Elm street line of
which traVerses the entire length of
the portion of the street it is proposed
to pave.
