George Behl, of North Jefferson street,

on an assault charge, but the court evil
IDENTIFY believed as did Mr.. Behl, that
the assault was justifiable- Behl got
tired of the abuse and aggravating
profanity of the children belonging to
a Mrs. Lizzie Roup, a neighbor. He
got so tired of it that he went into the
Roup residence, dragged one of the Of
Tending Roup-lets outside and was
about to chastise him when Mrs. Roup
chased him away with a chair. She
also poured dishpan of water on Mr..
Behl. The defendant took an appeal

The Woodhouse mansion on
Washington street was the scene Of
most elegant reception Yesterday
afternoon from four until seven
O'Clock, when Mrs. Woodhouse
received and entertained a large
number of guests, in her own gra-
cious and hospitable fashion. The
front porch was very inviting with
its handsome ported ferns. The
interior decorations were both
tasteful and effective being designed
so as to harmonic with the richly
furnished rooms. Beautiful cut
flowers, ferns and palms adorned
the hall, parlors and dining room,
and handsome shaded lamps shed
soft radiance over all.
Throughout the evening, the most
exquisite selections were played on
the piano by Miss Christina Mora,
who is finished artistic, and her
sieter, Miss Carmen Mora, added
much to the pleasure of the guests
by singing twice.
Refreshments were served in the

beautiful, with its pretty service,
and masses of roses and viOlets
filling in the spaces, being lighted
by wax tapers in silver candelabro

Death of Mrs. John CIosner.

In this city, at ten O'Clock thi.
morning, Mrs. Annie D. Closner
wife OF John Closner OF Hidalgo
Texas, after a long and painful
illness, passed away. She had SUI.
tered for several months with an
lncurable malady, and, though all
that was possible was done for her
1t was known that her case was
hopeless. Loving hands were cease
less IN their efforts to ease her
suffering, until the end, when Death
whose touch cures all pains, came
and closed her eyes in peaceful rest.
Mrs Annie D. Closner was born
in Brownsville, Sept, ,, 1861, being
the daughter of the late James
Dougherty and his wife, who still
survives. Mr.. Doughefty was for
many years editor and proprietor
OF the Daily Cosmopolitan formerly
published here, and was one of the
oldest and best known residents of
Brownsville.
Mrs. Closner's girlhood was spent
in her native home. On Nov. %.
1888, she was married to John Clos
der, of Hidalgo, who is one of the
leading and most esteemed citizens
OF that place, being a very successful
planter, and having also held the
office of sheriff of the county for
over twelve years. Three children
were born to them, a daughter aged
thirteen years, and two sons who
are younger. Besides her husband
and children, the deceased leaves
her mother, Mrs. NJ. Dougherty of
Brownsville, at whose home Mrs. |
Closner died, and several brothers
and sisters, besides other relatives,
to mourn her loss. A wide circle
of friends also join them in their
grief for one who was truly loved
by all that knew her well. Her
sweet and loving disposition and
kind heart endeared her to both
relatives and friends, and her death
is most deeply felt by them. The
entire community sympathizes sin
cerely with the bereaved family in
their irreparable loss.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row morning at ten o'clock, from
the residence of Mrs. NJ. Dougherty.

G. j. Searle on the Relations of the
Street Car Company and
Public to Milan.

Rock Island, March 25.-Editor of
The Argus: In your last evenings
issue YOU stated that the undersign-
ed, together with L. j. Medill, appear
ed before a meeting of the citizens of
Milan, on behalf of the Tri-City Rail
way company. This statement, so far
as it related to me, was a mistake. 1
did not represent the Tri-City Rail-
way company. ] appeared at such
meeting as the attorney of the viii
lage and by the request of the village
authorities. l represent the village
in two suits: One against the Tri-
City Railway company, and one
against the city of Rock Island.
The object of the first suit was to
get a scent fare and electric service
to Rock Island and Moline. The OBJ
iect of the second suit was to make
the Milan bridges free bridges.
have during the past few weeks had
numerous conferences with the Tri-
City company, and the object of the
meeting at Milan. as | understood it,
was to acquaint the people with the
present status of affairs. The Tri-
City company has now granted a D.
cent fare and promise of electric serv-
ice as soon as the city will construct
or repair the bridges so that they are
safe for electric cars. In addition to
this, the Tri-City company has agreed
that il will furnish connection at Mi
Ian with any interurban company
that may be constructed to that
point, on reasonable terms, furnish
ing its track and motor power there
for from Milan in to the center of
Rock Island.
The only obstacle now in the way
of settlement of the matters in
which / am interested, as above stat
ed. is the toll bridge over which the
city of Rock Island still maintains
control. In common with Il large ma
iority, as / believe, of the citizens of
Rock Island, have always contendSd
it was to the interests of the people
of Rock Island as well as of Milan
that these bridges be made free.
regard this as Il particularly favor
able time for the city Of Rock Island
to accomplish this end. and from my
conference with the Tri-City people l
think / am warranted in saying that
the city will find the Tri-City com
pany ready to cooperate with it, to
that end. Having made some consid-
cradle Investigation of the matter, it
Is my opinion that Rock Island has no
legal right to collect tolls over the
bridges; and if, as l think, some ar
engagements can now be made with
the Tri-City company by which these
bridges can be so constructed as to
give electric service, furnish connec-
tions for intcrurban service and as
sure free bridges either At once or
within the near futRre. it certainly
should be done. c. j. SEARLE.
