Sitre-t Railway and Other Matter of Interest Arte I pun. The city council met ia semimonthly session Ust evening handle! business which occupied tbe entire time until 10 o'clock, and adiourned until thi3 evening when the matter of the annual apDro priations will be cots.dered, and decided upon. When the ordinance of the street rail way syndicate asking the right to aband on its Ninth street line was presented Alderman Geiger moved it be laid on the table. Alderman Knox asked for an explanation as to wby such an unheard of disposition of the ordinance should be desired. Alderman Geiger said the peo ple on Ninth street wanted the road kept there. Alderman Knox replied that while that might be true it was not the proper course, as shown by precedent or otherwise, to table an ordinance without considering it. He moved that it be re ferred to the street and alley committee and it was so referred. The plat of Huber & Peetz addition to the city of Rock Island, embracing the property surrounding the old Davenport homestead, was submitted with recom mendations by the' street and alley com mittee that it be adopted. Alderman Huesing made a strong speech in behalf of the plat. Alderman Corken made a good argument in favor of having Fif teenth street and some of the other streets wider than the plat specified . Alderman Tindall spoke in behalf of acceptance of the plat. Capt. Peetz addressed the council on behalf ;of the plat. It had always been said that Bailey Davenport had blocked public lmproyements by hanging on to his land in Rock Island. Now was a chance to get some of the most desirable property of this estate on the market. If the plat wa9 adopted 2D to 25 houses would be erected this year. The plat, after further discussion, was accepted. Aid. Adams, than whom there is no more earnest worker in the council, thought a thunder bolt bad fallen in the council chamber when his motion went through with a whoop that Seventh av enue between Thirtieth and Thirty-eighth be put in a passable condition, without a word being said about cost. The Seyenth ward statesman, however.had not entirely recovered from the eSects of his very agreeable surprise when Alderman Hues ing spoiled the whole tting by moying a reconsideration, which the council adopted. But Mr. Adams was not to be so easily disposed of, and later in tbe evening he succeeded in working ttrouch a resolution that Seventh avenue be properly improved, which was referred to the street and alley committee. Alder man Adams' efforts as regards Seventh avenue are not without sound reason. Seventh avenue ought to be improved in some way. Alderman Huesing called the council's attention to the rail to be used by the Rock Island & Milan street railway company in relaying the track through the city. The ordinance provided, Mr. Huesing said, that nothing but a Johnston tram rail be used so that teams could get in and out easily. Alderman Geiger said he was not satis fied with the tew rail. Alderman Huesing again took the floor to condemn the rail. It was entirely different from what he understood it was to be, and he moved that the mayor be instructed to have track-laying with this kind of rail stopped and that none but Johnston rail the tram of which shall be 2 j inches in width be allowed, "and I further move" said Alderman Huesing "that the marshal be instructed to see that tbe company don't put it down tonight." Alderman Better could not see how the council could consistently object to tbe rail being used by the Milan road. He considered it the best rail He had yet seen, and be believed it would be a benes fit to tbe city, rather than a detriment, to have it used. Alderman Corken . thought the new rail was the newest and best rail made in all particulars, and wished the city had more of it. For paving it would be especially advantageous, while it was unobjectionable anywhere. Alderman Huesing's notion was put on its passage, and lost 8 to 6, Alderman Kennedy de clining to vote until tbe council insisted that be do so. The matter was then re ferred to tbe street and alley committee. After tbe council adjourned a number of the aldermen inspected the rails as they are distributed on Seventeenth street, and if there were any doubt as to tbe feasi bility of tbe rail it was soon dispelled. As Alderman Evans, who had previously voted for Alderman Huesing's resolution, afterward said, "Why, that rail is just what we want. Sure thing. It's tbe best made and that's what we want." The Fifth ward councilman was right. The new rail is the latest and most improved make. It is a 65-pound girder and probably cost twice as much as the Johnston rail. Greater public spirit won Id have been evinced it a resolution that it be used everywhere in tbe city where new track is to be put t-m, and tae heavier tbe tie'ter, should bs the rule. Tonight the council meets to make its anna appropriations tbe most impor tant business of the year. The fire de partment and public library funds are both expected to be considerably krger than usual this year by reason of perma nent improvements. It is to be h oped tbe council, realizing the facts, will be as liberal as it can consistently, witi these two funds. A PROBABLE SURPRISE. A Kill Ltkrly to be riled ia Court Which will Relate a Heretofore I n known Mart-lace. A rather sensational suit for legal separation is likely to be filed in the Rock Island circuit court in a few days. The c-rrsplainent who lives in Davenport, claims that she wa3 married in Dayeo port in 18T7 to a well known citizen of Rock Island. that the marriage was a ' "common. la marriage," without officiating minister, judge or justice, the object being to conceal the same from the groom's relatives; that in 1SS2 her husband compelled her to sign a paper that she was not bis wife, but that he has lived with her as such since and contributed to her support. The plaintiff will seek divorce and the coutrol of the two children by their mar riage, as well as f 3000 alianay. Moulders Oat. One hundred iron moulders in the em ploy of the Union Malleable iron works at Molice quit work at noon yesterday and that department is locked up. Tbe company, it is understood, gave notice of a reduction of one cent on a certain casting. This meant a drop from 6 to 5 cents on each piece, and they refused to accept it. The union appo inted a com mittee consisting of Messrs. Ben Frilling, Pat Murphy and Abe Miles to confer with the company. The foreman of the moulders discharged a couple of men for an alleged failure to obey orders. As a result the force of moulders all struck at noon, demanding that the men be taken back. The claim of the men is that the real cause of the discharge of the two was that they were members of a commit tee which waited on the company a few weeks ago in regard to a readjustment of wages at which time the company conceded the demands. The matter is being investigated, and there is good prospect that it will be amicably ad justed. The latest information that can be se cured this afternoon is that the strike is stiil on. Police Point. Olof Lorerzen was assessed !r'3 and costs by Macistrate Wivill last evening for assaulting Fred Rosebrry.
