The Second Democratic Cantos Last Night. A. Hecret and Myatertoaa Repobliean Meetlag Xomtnatea sjeheessel, I appoints a Commute with t'ertaia Iole. The Fifth ward democrats held their caucuslsst night pursuant to call, Mr. J. W. Cavsnaugh being elected chairman, and Mr. J. E. Reldy.secretary. The alder manic situation was thoroughly discussed, and it was finally decided to postpone formal action relative to the choice of an alderman ic nominee until Monday even ing. Mr. Daniel Daly presented the follow- ing resolution, which was adopted: WnERiAs. The democrats of the Fifth ward of The citv of Rock Island, are in ravor of the eight-hour law: liesoloed. That we endorse Alderman kvans' course in the council oil that question. Adjournment was then taken to Mon day ever ing. But th s was not all the politics that is sgita ing the Fifth ward. Off in some secluded spot, unknown to all save those actually participating, a number of republics n patriots assembled as a couns of war Thursday night. They reviewed the situation, and regarded them selves as victims of an out rageous proceeding at the hands of the previous republican caucus in that ward, declaring that they were then anil there handicapped as to their preferences, and they thereupon resolved upon an independent movement and a determination to sweep the ward of many complicated complexions on elec tion day. They nominated August Schocssel, who received 26 votes to 67 for Evans i 1 the previous caucus and ap pointed a committee to see to having his name printed on both republican and democratic tickets and to make a genuine 'still bunt" on election day. Mr. tchoessel was seen this afternoon and declared himself an independent candidae. TIIHY. M. C. A. BUILDING. I he Avion Birta Submitted, and the Contract to I'nllm Kro.' As staled yesterday the Y. M. C. A. building committee let the contract for enclosing their new building to Coliins Bros.' for 1G,2(. This in cludes the fitting of four rooms ia the building ready for occupa tion, ami also some additional work not figured .in at fir9t. but added after it had oeen uveitiea to give the contract to them. The stone that will be used in trimming will be Prentice cherry brown stone. This stone was not included in the fieutea asked for at first, but repre sents an additional expense over Dun reaih red stone, the bids for which were taken a a basis in deciding the matter. The bid with Dunreath stone for trim mings, were as follows: For entire work Mr. C. Srhreiner. 82G.S60; Mr. M. Schnell, $28 5(10; Col lins Brcs ', f24,480. For enclosing-Mr. C.

Cona-rrNHtnan Mason fr'avor Kork lalamt -Mrnator Farwell a Meaa nrr. The Chicago Tribune of today has a Washington dispatch to the effect that Represi ntative Mason, of JIMnois, report ed faV'trablv vesterdav from the house commerce committee, the bill providing that Hick Island shall be a port of entry in the collection district of New Orleans, and tUut there shall be appointed a sur veyor of customs to be located there whone compensation shall be $600 a year and tie usual fees. The original bill provid id that the surveyor should be paid 1,300 a year. In the United States senate yesterday, Senate r Farwell introduced a bill provid ing for a $100,000 government building at Rock Island. This is very considerate in Senator Farwell, and Rock Island will thsnk him for his good intentions, but for all the difference there ia between the house bill and his, the Anocs believes it will fere better if it stands firmly by the house bill. It has been further advanced than Senator Far well's bill and coruplica tions will he avoided by simply sticking to it find following it up until it becomes a law Substitutes sometimes are ruin ons tr important projects. Nnecran Aaanred. Indications point to the election of the entire democratic township ticket next Tuesday. It is by long odds the best ticket of the two, and every democrat should tbke pride in voting it "straight." The republicans concede the election of majoity of the democratic supervisors, but there is no reason why the four as sistatits shouldn't follow Honest John Aster to victory. It will be surprising if John Barge is not reelected assessor ty an increased majority, and the election of Davl 1 Fitzgerald for collector is a fore gone conclusion. The three candidates for c instable are also sure of success if a proper effort is made for them. Know What They Want. Tl e Congregational church at DeWitt, Iowe , whose pulpit was recently vacated by the resignation of Rev. F. H. York. to accept the pastorate of the Unitarian church at Moline, has issued the follow ing remarkable notice: W anted By the Congregational chutcb of DeWitt, Iowa, a first-class preacher. He must be a progressive thinker. He must be forward in advanced thought; he must have the highest ideal of spiritual life; he must understand of his own knowledge the way which leads to Uod's spiritual kingdom tJd eternal life. No old school Calvanist need ap ply. The little church wants an original thk ker and nothing else will salt. SCHOOL EXERCISES. An Eatertalnlaa orated at No. S noon.

BeiJ. Arnheim Merchant Tailor. Mr. Mycr Loeb, proprietor of the Gol den Eagle, has accepted the Rock Island agency of the live house, which has es Ublishments in Chicago, St. Louis, Kan sas City and Cincinnati. Mr. Arnheim has the reputation of doing the largest and most extensive merchant tailoring business done in the United States. Mr. Loeb has over 300 samples of the finest as well as the cheapest fabrics in this line and can make clothing to order at a very slight advance on what the same goods would cost ready made. For example, he will make nice alN wool pants to order, any style, guarantee a perfect fit, at $1.75, $5, $5 50. $5 up to $11; suits from $20 to $00. Terms: One -fourth deposit, and balance cash on deliverv of goods. Call and examine be fore leaving your order. Remember, do not confound this with the clothing de partment of a ready made clothing firm, but bear in mind, that Arnheim, the tail or, does nothing but strictly firstolas-s merchant tailoring. More Caucus. The South Rock Island democratic caucus was held at the Centre school house last night. Vf. C. Maucker was chairman and Geo. Richmond secretary. After proper deliberation, the following excellent ticket was placed in the field: For supervisor, Geo. Laraont; for town clerk, M. G. Field: for assessor. Cvrus Valentine; for collector, Geo. Bolling er; tor assessor, Wm. Hoffer; for ius- tice of the peace, John Young; for con stable, Wm. Nepka. The nominations are eminently wise all the way through. Capt. Lamont will distance the Daven port business man who is his opponent and the rest of the ticket will lie close on he ht,els of the leader. The republicans of Moline had their township convention last night and re nominated R. A. Smith for supervisor, and L. F. Cralle and Gust. Ford for as sistants. It took twenty two ballots to decide the collector, when Timothy Gil- more was nominated. For assessor C. C. Waters was nominated. Kr-Ald. L. F. Kerns was nominated for police mag istrate. River Xavigratlon. - Some river men express the opinion that there will be more water this season.. The snow has all disappeared at the north, and the river has taken several four and five inch drops recently at this point, but at same places above it has showed contrary symptoms. It is fer vently hoped that the unparalleled low water mark of the last season will not be seen again, and if one extreme follows upon the heels of another, the coming season should be a good one for naviga tion. The benefits of the river are fairly illustrated in the action of the railroads, who are already 'lowering their rates along the river points . The S3 -cent rate made by the Burlingtoa recently Iron; St. Louis north is below anything hereto fore known in this connection, and was evidently made before navigation opened in order to avoid the stirring up of un pleasant feelings in traffic relations. The Diamond Joe line is to resume it9 regular business inside of two weeks. . rro pdlnir in t'cffrea. WasniK-MPr Crrv. March 'H.

His opponent is practically out of sight. The wrestling match between Burns the Iowa champion, and Gallagher, of new lore, occurs at the rink tonight. J.S.

Rork Island at 30 a. m. and arriving at 5:30 CT m. on the Cable branch of the R. I. & P. road will be abandoned. G. J. Demnsev has purchased of John Keeley the residence property at the cor ner of Twelfth street and Fourth avenue, for $3.2iO. and will made it bis home. Henry Frick is the corniac alderman from the Fourth ward. A republican alderman hasn't been elected there since 1885. and it isn't likely there will be this year. A vote for Burrall for supervisor is a vote for a man who has had experience on the oounty board. He has discharged his duties acceptibly before and will do so again. E. M. Penfield, of Washington. Is at work in the circuit rink's office obtain ing the recorded mortgaged indebtedness of Rock Island for the forthcoming Uni ted Stales census. The annual meeting of the Rock Island County Bible society will be held at the Broadway Presbyterian church tomorrow evening. The sermon will be preached by Rev. R. F. Weidner. If the Union would devote itself less to attempted criticism and groundless abuse of democratic candidates, and more to the support of republican nominees, it would no. doubt serve its part? more ac ceptably. "Aristocratic Juggler Josh" "mav carry his head erect" now and look down with scorn and indignation upon his street car competitor, but the people will put the street car driver up at the top on election day. Mr. Phil Mitchell has returned from a business trip to Chicago. He savi the Rock Island colony is now eslahlisned at the auditorium, and ia composed of: A. C. Dart, Morris Rosenfield. C. II. Deere and J, S- Gilmore. The coroner's jury in the case of Clara Matthews, the Davenport girl who made a deathbed confession, accusing Dr. J. A. Kaid or having performed an abortion upon her, yesterday returned a verdict holding Dr. Reid responsible for the girl's death. The democrats of Davenport held their city convention last night and nominated A. Ficke for mayor. Mayor Ernst Clausscn having declined arenomination, John McSteen for citv clerk. Louis H. Rieck for treasurer and Ebcl Peck for assessor. A counterfeit 10-cent piece is in circu lation, which so closely resembles the genuine that it can easily be passed. It differs from the usual counterfeit, in that a genuine silver plating covers the Ger man silver, which forms the body of the coin. The Third ward should give Joe Geieer a handsome majoritv next Tuesday. He is a wideawake, progressive business man, and will make an A No. 1 council man. Then both sides of the slough would be ably represented. Aid. Corken can take care of the south side without any assistance. It ia reported that "Jugeler Josh" re fused to pay ithe assessment levied against bim by the republican city com mittee, and although be was "seen" three times yesterday, be' tailed to come down with the requisite cash. "Josh" thinks Be can bamboozle the committee as easily as ne am tue repuotican convention. The sociable and entertainment at the Baptist church last evening was a pleas ant affair. Supper was served from 6 to 8, after which a program ma was present ed, including a piano solo by Miss Anna Kablke, a duett by Rev. H. C. Lei and and Miss Stella Lloyd, a recitation by Mrs. A. H. Pollard, and two solos by Mr. Leland. The republicans have made the issue in the collectorahiD ' contest one of clean clothes vs workingmen'a -clothes, and as the ballot is the only weapon the working people have,-1 bey will be likely to use it effectively on election day and elect Mr David Fitzgerald collector over ''Juggler Josh," even though the latter "carries his bead erect and "wears clean clothes" as the Union proudly proclaims. One of the beauties of the overhead wire system of electric street railways was shown at Davenport Thursday afternoon. when lightning struck a wire, which snapped and fell and nearly killed two horses that came ia contact with it. throwing them down by the shock, while a panic ensued among a car load of pas sengers. No serious damage resulted, though the danger of the overhead wires was fully demonstrated. Mr. W. C. Butterworth. of the Rock -ford Construction companv, arrived at the Harper thia morning. He states that his company has received several of the samples of brick made from Rock Island clay by experts, and that they are most gratifying, and indicate that Rock Island will produce as excellent a quality of brick as any place in the country. Man ager Meade, of the company, ia in Ohio purchasing machinery for the nock Is land plant. The Union continues to ring in the charges upon the past and present purs suits of Mr. David Fitzgerald, the demo- crtic nominee for collector. It is. an evidence of the most desperate weakness on the tart of the opposition when a man is attacked on the strength of his having pursued a legitimate business in the past and is obliged to labor honestly and ins dus'.riously for a living now. In the first ball game of the season at Cincinnati, Rhines and Harrington, the former Davenport stars, composed the battery for the league club, and the Co Mfreial-Oautte of that city, said of their work: "The battery (Rhines and Har rington) were the only two of the men wno bad a chance to distinguish them selves, and it can truly be said that they did exceedingly well. Rhines showed great speed and control of the ball, and in the five innings he filled the points not a ball was batted outside of the diamond by the opposing side. Ten men were re tired on strikes in the innings he pitched. Harrington gave him splendid support. and his throwing to bases was excellent. Jerry also rapped the ball for two bases and scored a run.
