Mr.. Delano, superintendent of the
St. Paul & Pacific road, appeared
before the council last evening and
asked permission to erect certain
depot buildings on the lower levee.
He said the company desired to
erect an elevator with a capacity of
100000 bushels just below their
present depot at the foot of Jackson
street. They also propose to put up
a large stone depot and warehouse
at the foot of Sibley street, between
their track and the river, 75x250
feet. AS it will have to extend into
the water in order that steamers can
land on the river side, and receive
and discharge freight, it will be
necessary to drive piles for the
foundations. This was referred to
a committee.
Alderman Markoe, in an interest
ing and lengthy report, urges the
building of a reform school near the
city. At least ten acres of ground
will be necessary, which, with the
necessary buildings, will cost about
$4,000. He estimates the annual
expenses per capita will be about
$100, so that the expenseKof the
institution will be quite formidable.

Makes a Speech.

At the boxing show at Claus Groth
hail, Davenport. last night the Hogan
Rauch bout ended in free-forall fight
Referee Pollock declared the bout no
contest in the fifth round because the
men were loafing. Hogan became in.
cenSed at the referees decision and
they came to blows. 1t was not long
before others mixed in the fight and it
was necessary for the police to enter
the arena and put stop to it, This is
the first case of disorder that the club
has experienced and every effort will
be put forth to prevent ii from occur

order had been restored. that he had
warned the contestants four times and
that he thought they were not honestly
trying, so he called the bout no so.
Nelson Makes Speech.
The interest of the fans conferred
principally in the sparring match be
tween Battling Nelson and Joe CALI
gan. Nelson was introduced by Teddy
Ward of Peoria, and made short talk
Nelson said he was very glad to visit
Davenport and that he had visited the
many points of interest in the tri-cities
during the afternoon. The Coliseum
looks good to me. and if you can Sc
cure a good man, Will come and fight
before the club he said. In speaking
of the HOgan-Rauch bout, he continued,
Pollock did right. He did what l
would have done had / been the re-

Philadelphia, July 17.-Sam Berger,
California amateur heavyweight, last
night gave Jack O'Brien the hardest
Ground battle of his career. Notwith-
standing O'Brien continually sent his
left TO chin and wind. Berger came
back and forced the fighting in every
round While O'Brien had the advan-
taGe at the start, the Californian i'm
proved as the fight progressed and had
O'Brien decidedly worried in the two
closing rounds. Berger's blows seemed
to have greater force than O'Brien's.
and he was vociferously cheered as he
left the ring at the close of the bout.

It's about time for the Rock Island
management TO cease bringing in green
inexperienced amateurs, especially at
this stage in the pennant race. 1t is
bad enough at the beginning of the
season. The town has outgrown that
sort of thing. One can see amateur
baseball enough in the vacant lots. The
pace of the league is too fast for
manager to pick an aggregation from
