IMMrlrt and the Peart a Preaefcer Kaa...The Kraalt.l Report. A conclus on was reached in the trial of Presiding Elder M. A. Head at Gales burg Wednesday evening, and the com. mitted made its report. The committee And that tbt charge, that of defamation of character, is not sustained, but that one specification (wherein tbe elder had ac cused Iter. Hooher with owing debts amounting ti $1.8(0 which they found be bad made provision for) is proven. They simply recommend that Elder Head be reprimanded, but unite in recommending that the bisl op return him to this district for another ' ear. Before th close of the conference Rev. M. A. Head, as presiding elder of the Rock Island district, read bis report. The Rev. M. A. Head was born in Highland county, O , March 4, 1845. He was convert h1 at the age of eight year, and united with tbe M. E. church. He was educate ! at tbe Ohio Wesleyan uni versity, loct.ted at Delaware, O. He served as a private in the wai of tbe re bellion, and is now a member of the G. A. R. In 166 be entered tbe Cincinnati conference, and in I860 was transferred to the Central Illinois conference, in which be ha received the following ap poiotmente: Molioe, Carthage, Macomb, Abington, Oalva. Siren tor, Peoria, fi nancial secrrtary of Hedding college, and presiding elder of the Rock Island dis trict. The Rev. M. A. Head is an unlirs ing worker. Iu the management of Rock Island diHtiict during the past year bis course has been highly commended. Brief extracts from bis lengthy report will be of irterest: About eijht hundred conversions and six hundred accessions have been repor ted on the ristrict this year. Four new churches hare been dedicated. In South Moline a heiuliful church property, worth $2,000, hm been secured and ded icated fiee from debt. This commendable and successful enter prise is largely due to tbe untir: iog energy of Dr. Albro, the pastor of our First church in Moline. At Btrstow, on the Hampton charge, a little society ot twelve members, organized a year ago, has succee led in building a beautiful church, val led at $1.61 HI, which wax ded icated free of debt June 16 At Carbon Cliff, on the same charge, where for twentystive years our people have been worshiping in a echnol. a beautiful new church, valued al $1,SOO, was dedicated free from debt. To Brother Peregoy, tbe pHRtor of Hampton charge, is largely due the success ot both these church en terprises. Brother Peregoy believes in the pernev trance of the saints and has shown his faitb by his works. By pa tient and liersevering toil he Anally ac complished the desire of bis heart. At Rock Island the foundation for a new and beautiful new stone church building has been completed, the corner stone being laid with appropriate cere monies Set tember 23 by Bishop Ninde. When com leted the church will cohI not less than f ::0.000, and will be the hand somest chuveb building, outside and in side, thai I have seen within the bounds of our conference. j Presiding Elder Head arrived home from Dales urg last evening, and this morning left for Iowa City on church j matters. During the forenoon a telegram came to bin that he had been reappoint ed presidinc elder of the Rck Island dis trict for the ensuing year. A Mlawins; Knlfht. The K. tf P. lodge, at Poplar Bluff, Mo., is sending out circular letters asking the bretbrei, generally to report anything they may know of the whereabouts of a missing knight, John J. SchaeSer, a butcher by trade, thirty-two years of age, Ave feet four inches tall, weight 145 pounds, blu ; eyes, dark curly bair, dark mustache, ore dark coat and vest and wore light pantaloons. He left Popular Bluff ftlarct 15, with John W. Spralding and a ten- ear-old boy. After visiting St. Louis, Butte City, Mont., and other western pla:e, finally about May 11, the trio landed at Davenport, and put up at the Lindell aouse. On Monday. May 13, Schaeffer vent from Davenport to Mo line, and S iradling to Rock Island, both looking for work. When they returned to the hotel in Davenport some time in the evening. Scbacffer told Sprad ling tlmt the Armour Packing company wanted a man to go to some town, (name unknown). aliout tw.-nty miles from Daven port, to wo-k in a butcher shop, and that he (Schaeff ;r) would run over the next morning and see about it. On tbe morn ing of the "4th be left the hotel, osten sibly to boi.rd tbe 5 o'clock train going south. After Schaeffer's return from Mo line, and Ssradling's return from Rock Island, he (Schaeffer) told Spradling that he bad met. a man that day who be bad once worked with, and for this or some other reasi n unknown, Schaeffer seemed to be somewhat agitated. Since the Tuesday n orning he left the hotel in Davenport, Schaeffer has not been seen or heard ol by bis friends, lie ieft his baggage at the hotel with Spradling and tbe little 1 oy, and after remaining over a week witLout news of Schaeffer, Sprad ling retun.ed to Poplar Bluff. Tbe mis sing man bad about $250 when he reached Davenport, and whether be has been robbed and murdered, or bas disappeared voluntarily, can only be conjectured. Tbe KcwMrr A venae. The work of excavating the block be. tween Sixteenth and West Seventeenth streets is being pushed with great rapid ity, and tbe street will be ready for the pavers tomorrow night.

Dumas is expected GONE WITH HER UNCLE. A Rrk Iftlaa Belle Elope With Very Hear Relatlve-A Heonatlonal t'aae. Rock Island and Davenport are jointly interested in a romantic affair, which is as novel as it is sensational in character, tbe parties being a very pretty and quite well known young lady of this city and ber uncle ber father's brother who for some time bas been steward at tbe St. James hotel in Davenport. Tbe couple made a sudden exit from Rock Island last Wednesday evening, the last seen ot them being on a C, B. & Q. train at Bars tow, and their pres ent whereabouts are an impenetrable mystery. Tbe fair representative of tbe twain bas heretofore borne a reputation for modesty and lady-like disposition, and ber action is an inexplicable shock to the parents, who are among the best known people in tbe west part of our city. It is reported that tbe young lady bad a quarrel at home Wednesday, and on the impulse of the moment planned and car ried out ber sensational exploit, ber Da venport relative being a too willing par. ty. m A VERY HAD HOY. Thr Voath wu 'aad the Troablr In One of Oar Koek lland MrhoolN Yewterday. The result of Supt. Kemble's investi gation of the trouble in one of the school buildings yesterday was to show that tbe principal, in dealing with a very bad and unruly boy, had shaken him in suih a manner that he fell from the seat and struck his bead on) the basehoard, in Dieting a scalp wound, which amounted to little more than a scratch. From what could be learned the principal was in no light censurable. This morning the boy, who lives very near the build ing, attempted to create a disturbance among the other children of tbe build ing, and it was thought neces sary at one time to telephone the police station, but meanwhile a member of the board of education who has con siderable influence over tbe boy and bis parents, happening to be in that part of town, saw the boy's deviltry and gave him a talking to that he will not soon forget. Supt. Eemble expresses much regret that so much should have been made of so little and says there was nothing in tbe affair to create the least excitement or to show that the boy was abused in any particular. Fie does not expect any further trouble in the school. Poliee PolntM. Mike Smith, a character who has for a long time been about the Union hotel on Twentieth street, having evinced symp toms of mental decay, was taken in charge by Officer Loge Jast evening. He will be sent to tbe poor farm.
