and fill It without delay on the most ad
vantageous terms to be made, aod that
the work begin by the fl si of nest week

of the urgeney of commencing without

unanimous vote sustained bis idea, and

Aid. Scnnell stated thi t he concurred
in Mr. IJerr's idea and " he furthermore
doubted tbe wisdom o; tbe gatea at

Mr. Ill was of tbe same opinion.
Aid. Larkin made a str ing plea for the
gatea not only at Twenty-fourth atreet.
but at Seventeenth, Eight enth and Nine
teenth street. Tbey are needed at these
places aa a means of publ c safety. There
are few cities in the coun ry who have aa
little protection at the atreet crossings
from the railroads a Rock Island, and the
city might aa well have the protection
without coating itanythitg by .imply re
quiring it. The viaduct would no doubt
come in time, but in thi meantime the
gatea should be provided.
Aid. Hampton read the ordinance for
gates at Twenty-fourth atreet.
Aid. Edwarda expressed himself aa
heartily in favor of the gates at both
Eighteenth aod Twenty-fourth streets.
Tbey would be a good taing, and ought
to be provided.
Aid. Corken impressed upon the coun
cil tbe importance of the gales at Eigh
teenth and at Twenty -fourth. There
waa no assurance as to v hen the viaduct
would be built. A menber of the im
provement association tad told him it
ould probably be twf yeare. and the
gates should iu tbe meant me be provided.
if only for a short time.
Aid. Hampton, who it will be re mem.
bered, publicly expressed himself not
long ago as favorable locates not only at
Twenty-fourth and Eighteenth atreets.but
at Nineteenth also, sail that he could
not reconcile himself to the gates at
Eighteenth street, though be would go
through tbe form of pieeeotiDg tba n
solution and moving its adoption.
Aid. Evana apoke in imposition to the
gates, and expressed bitiself as sustain

The Twenty-fourth ttreet resolution
aa put upon its passage, and when the
vote waa counted it was found to have
carried unanimously.
AM. Hampton tben presented tbe
Eighteenth street resolution and upon
motion of Aid. Schroeder, seconded by
Aid. Heller, it was tabl:d.
But tbe gatea had len ordered at
Twenty fourth street, tte most dangerous
place, and the Arocs while gratified to
know that the aldermen have protected
Twenty-fourth street, Is also glad to com
mend tbe course of A dermen Larkin,
Corken, Edwards and S :ott in sustaining
the idea that they sbou d be placed at
Eighteenth atreet too, vbere sooner or
later tbe council will aeo the wisdom of
placing them also.
Aid. Hampton, front the ordinance
committee, offered ihe irdinance hereto'
fore described for the pavement of Sect
ond avenue from Fourteenth atreet west
to Sixth on the five yea - installment plan
and Aid. Howard offer.-d aa an amend
ment that .t be extendi d to Fifth atreet
and after discussion tie ordinance waa
laid over until next met ling on motion of

Schroeder. The popul it feeling of the
property holders favor tbe extension of
the improvement of which Rock Island is
so intensely proud and the council will at
its next meeting probal ly pasa tbe ordi

Aid. Scbnell preaentt d a petition for
tbe extenaion of tbe Eighteenth strtet

Near tbe St. James hotel in Davenport
last evening. Chief Kessler arrested a
young man who gave his name, flctic
ioualy the police tbiok. as Cliff El
vidge, on a charge of passing a bogus
check at tbe lck Island house, this city.
The prisoner was brought to Rock Island
and lodged in tbe police station aod bia
bearing ia aet for thia afternoon. El
vidge is a bicycle rider about seventeen
years of age and his parents reside in
Canada. He aet out from Chicago on bis
wheel a few weeks ago to make a tonr of
the west. He visited St. Paul and soon
became dead broke, but made bis way to
Rock Island, arriving at the Rock Island
bouae about a week ago without cycle or
clothes, save what he had on his bitck and
aa be wore his riding suit bud but "half a
pair of pants" at tbat. He slated
tbat be had become tired of ridintr, and
had shipped bis wheel to Chicago, and
ould follow by train aa soon aa funds
be bad telegraphed for would arrive. But
the funds came not, and those who had
trusted him began to believe that bis by
cicle had been seized by creditor
for board somewhere and tbat
the young man was a fraud. Suns
day night be went to Davenport
port and returned yesterday morning
coatleaa and with his face pretty badly
battered up. Chief Clerk Bloom gave
him a coat, and then demanded pay for
his beard and lodgings, and he gave a
check for $15.60 on Mills & Keller, of
Cedar Rapids, who on being asked by
wire as tbe genuineness of the osoer.
promptly replied that it was a forgery .
Elvidgebad in the meantime skipped. and
would probably have got away but for
the vigilance of Cnief Eesaler, of Daven
port.
The police have learned of the female
horse thief, Lou Sardine. She went
through Sadora, Iowa, last Friday after-
ternoon with Mr. Tindall's rig bound
west. She will nrohablv bj run .loan
within a few days.
Officer Kramer has a number of colored
boya before Justice Hawes this after
noon for disturbing tbe worship of the
Second Baptist congregation on Tenth
atreet last Sunday evening.
The attention of the police department
ia called to the young vandals who have
already commenced to toy with the new
watering fountain on the east side of
Union square. An example should be
made of these scamps by arresting a few
of ibem.
At the Theatre.
"He, She, Him, Her," a sparkling com
edy, waa presented at Harper'a theatre
laat evening betore a large audience
which waa convulsed with laughter
throughout. The play, while possessed
of a vivid plot, abounds in rollicking fun
nd not a little original wit. Tbe piece
Is described oo the programme as a three-
act pantomimical comedy: time ary
time; place any place; argument suit
yourself; plot none. But it is full rf
music, dancing, fun, tricks and transform
tlona. It waa written for Geo. H. Ad
ams and Misa Toma Hanlon. who apper
aa "Toby Peiriwinkle" and Tootsy.''
respectively, and they give it abundance
of life. Tbe support is admirab'e
throughout.
At tbe Harper ibis evening there ia to
be a decided dramatic aensation in tbe
appearance of John Fay Palmer's classic
dramatization of Bulwer's immortal tale,
The Last Daya of Pompeii." The
special feature of the piece is its fine
spectacular qualities. In this regard it ia
Qften startling, always pleasing and con
tinually enchanting. Tbe port of Pom
peii before the eruption, the feast of
Bacchus, the cave of Vesuvius, tbe beau
tiful garden of tbe temple of I sis, the
arena, and the thrilling eruption and the
earthquake make up a magnificent line
of effects in themselves and form the
ground work of an entertainment fascin
ating and delightful in every feature.
It ia not necessary to speak particu
larly of "II Trovatore," the opening opera
of Emma Abbott's encasement at the
Burtia opera house, Davenport, next Fri
day evening, for all are familiar with it.
but tbe "Rose of Castile." tbe Saturday
evening bill. Is new. It ia a beautiful
work by Balfe, his greatest work, and one
of tbe moat brilliant of tbat school of
opera. The opera was first brought out
in 185tt in London, but as it is one that
requires much lavish preparation, ita
vocalization being of the most brilliat t
sort for Elvira, tbe Queen of Castilr,
especially and the orchestration diffi
cult, the opera baa never been presented
except by two companies. Part k a Rosa
and BernardRicbings, years ago, when
they were equipped with the highest
ranee of artists. It is one of the roost
beautiful in the Abbott repertoire, both
in musi: and mounting. "Fra Diavolo"
will be giyen at Saturday matinee, with
Miss Abbott in tbe cast, full cast, chorus
and orchestra. The aale of seats will
open tomorrow morning.
Aa Apalexf Certataljr aae.
An apology is certainly due from tbe
Arocb to whatever portion of tbe good
people of Davenport are inclined to read
the Timet of that city, for saying or do
ing anything that would lead that remark
able journal to inflict upon ita readers
nearly a column of alusb; tbe purpose of
which is to represent what Mr. Dan KeU
eber, a Davenport contractor, has to aay
about Rock Island labor and the very
much abused manner in which be waa
treated by Rock Island laborers a year
ago, etc. The language employed by
Keleher in bia Interview with the Tiint
ia rather choice for one of "Whoop de
Doodle's" reputation yet there is no par
tioular disposition to criticize that. It is
only necessary to say in reference to this
one remark attributed to Keleher by the
Timet "Tbe street commissioner of
Rock Island annoyed me continually
about hiring and having in my employ
Davenport men, till finally I consented to
employ two men suggested by him to
scour tbe boarding houses and town of
Rock Inland to find laborers to work
Bat they got drunk and neglected their
duty and pretended that there were no
idle Rock Islanders to be found" tbat
either Keleher lies moat abominably or
the 7Vmf is making as much of an ass of
him as It is of itself most probably tbe
latter.
