Incendiaries Start Further Blazes in the Business District. MAY BE TEE WOEX OF . BOYS. Buildings Damaged Contents Are stroyed. and De- the Five more barns were fired in Rock Island this afternoon. Evidently thesame paitles who hred four other barns within a radius of a few blocks during the pre sent week sought destruction by the same means of a stable owned by John Koch, located in the alley be tween Second and Third avenues and just west of Market squat e,at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The building was en veloped in flames before the alarm was sounded, but timely work on the part of the tire department prevented their spread and confined the damage to the barn. The barn contained quantities of hay, corn and oats, all of which were destroved, while the barn itself was considerably damaged. There is hardly a doubt that the majoritv of the tires during the week were of incendiary origin. There is a belief it is the work of boys having a mania to see the hose companies turn out. Should Ue Hunted Down.. . It is time the authorities fer- eted out the parties, whoever thev are, ana properly punish them, for a blaze in a neighborhood such as the one this afternoon occurred in, if it got bevond the control - of the fire companies, which it could easily do with the assistance of a strong wind, would work terrible disaster, as the buildings are close together, and it would climb from one to the other till a whole block was wiped out. Mr. Koch estimates his loss at f loO and Hess Bros, at f 100. NO OCCASION FOR WORRY. Daren port Again Concerned Over Bock Island Steamboat WuchoaM. Some of the Davenport papers are again becoming concerned with ref erence to the announced intention of the Diamond Jo company to continue to give Rock Island the go-by until the question of a warehouse is settled here', and one of the papers on that side talks of the troubles ahead for this city and all that. If no city is ever hurt worse than Rock Island has been so far, or is likelv to be by th attitude of the Diamond Jo company, it will not fare badlv. Rock Island proposes to solve the warehouse ques tion; not for the benefit of the big line, which acting in accordance with an ill-advised policv, that we are sure would not be repeated had the com pany to deal with the same situation again has shown an unfriendly spiri toward Rock Island, but for the ac commodation of the packet lines that have been true to the city under all circumstances, and for the protection and advancement of the business in terests of lha city, eerved by these local packet lines. aen the accom modations contemplated are provided as surely they will be. the Diamond Jo company may have the same use of them as any other line, but it will be given no advantages over any other steamboat interest. The Dia mond Jo company will always be treated fairly by Rock Island, but it will not be coaxed back and relieved of its poutiner bv the tender of privi leges that should be given to no cor poration on the levee, much less an unfriendly one.
