While the steamer Pittsburg, the flag
ship of the Diamond Jo lioe, was laying
at her landing at tbe foot of Serenteenth
street last night, awaiting the break of
da; in order to ascend the rapids, a num
ber of "roosters," beJongiig to the boat's
crew, took advantage of some sleeping
emigrants wboj were taking deck passage
north, and robbed them of their scanty
means by cutting out their pockets. One
of the emigrants was awatened by the
clumsy manner in which be was being
"touched," and upon arousing his corns
panions it was found that, be was not
alone, as a number of others had been
relieved in the same way.
An investigation was wanted by the
emigrants who had lest thair lucre, but
as the police could not go on board the
boat to get the thieves, nothing was done
and the boat left on her trij north in tbe
meantime.

A letter was sent to the state auditor
at Spriccfield this afternoon by Messrs
McEairy & McEniry and J. T. Kenworthy,
attorneys for Mr. Beimon I for the ap
pointment of a receiver for the Mississip
pi Valley Insurance company.
At the January term of the circuit
court, M. Bermond, of ew York City,
through McEairy fc McEciry and J. T.
Kenworthy. got judgment against the
Mississippi Valley insurance company for
$1,185 on a policy that he held against
tbe comDany insuring his stock of furs.
iiicu was ourueu a nine over a vear
ago. Tbe insurance company, throueh
its attorneys Jackson & Hurst, prayed for
an appeal to tbe appellate court, which
appeal was etrucK from the docket on
the motion of tbe appelets' attorneys
Bermond then bad an execution issued
against the insurance comt anv. which the
company refused to pay. Tbe sheriff re
turned tbe execution because be could
find no property upon which to levy
Birmond's attorneys have fent a certified
copy of tbe judgement, execution and
return of tbe same to the state auditor
with tbe rt quest that be htve a receiver
appointed.
The insurance company contends that
tne litigation with SI. 13er:nond has not
ended; in the meantime he is secure in
bis debt, the company having executed
to bim a good bond in the ?um of 12.000
with sufficient security. It is nothing
more than ordinary proceedings in litiga
tion which has not yet terminated.
Tbe Mississippi Valley company is
composed of the wealthiest manufacturers
in tbe Mississippi valley. It is in fact
one of tbe soundest muttal insurance
companies in tbe country aid tbe pro
ceedings wi'.l, therefore, awaken no little
surprise.

Important Beat Evtate Deal.
Msj H. C. Connelly, attorney for
Misses Naomi L- and Catharine DaTen
port, has sold to Charles R. Jones, of
Henry, 111., the two-fifths interest of the
ladies ia the property now xeupied by
Rock Island Lumber and Minufacturing
company. Tbe deed was filed for record
this forenoon. Mr. Jones paid $14. COO
in cash, assumed tbe paynent of tbe
taxes for 1881, all assessments for paying
or other purposes and all do'ver claimed
by any one. The sale is on a basis of
about $40,000 for the whole of the prop
erty. Mr. Jones evidently knows a good
thin g when he sees it. He I as made the
purchase as an investment and expects to
bold tbe property. When foreign capital

TflK. HBOft DAY' SPEAKERS.
Editor Kappaix.rt f ladiaaaitolis,
. w. Vaieailne others to
ho Invited to Hollae.
The Tri-City Labor day committee held
another meeting in Moline Sunday eve
ning, at which a telegram was read from
Gov. Fifer, addressed to Messrs C. H.
Deere and Morris Rosen field.' who bad
written j asking him to come on
Labor day if possible. The telegram de
clared it impossible, as the governor and
his party expect to rem sin on the Gettys
burg battlefield two days, and then to go
to Washington. The Davenport and
Rock Island members of the committee
who were present at tbe meeting were:
M. W. Battles. Harry Bostock, A Erick
eon, Rock Island, and M. P. Kramer. F.
W. Boetbcher, F. T. Fish and F. C.
Brockman, Davenport.
Tbe Davenport members seemed, well
pleased that Gov. Filer could not come,
and M. F. Kramer said that a pblitical
speaker was not wanted he thought
there were plenty of good men in tbe
labor ranks. He suggested Phil. Rap
paport, of Indianapolis.
There was a unanimous expression that
such speakers should be selected as would
tend to create a harmonious feeling on
the day to he celebrated. Secretary
Schafer, of Moline, was finally instructed
to telegraph Mr. Gompers to send on the
available man whom he had promised;
also to telegrspa for Phil. Rappaport,the
Indianapolis German editor, and to tele
Erapu Martin Fox, president of tbe
Molders' international union in regard to
securing Vice President Joseph F. Valen
tine of that body, who is expected to be
in this vicinity about that time. The
telegrams have been sent.
Mr. Kramer, ot Davenport, reported
that they expected all the labor organiza
tions from that city not only to bi in line
in the parade, but that several fljats of
design would be displayed. Mr. Bostock.
speaking for Rock Island, said that this
city would be likewise represented.

the Coldest and 3t ost stormy on Kr
coid.
Recently an Illinois coal dealer wrote
Foster, the St. Joe weather prophet, with
regard to tbe indications for a cold wioter
in 1S91-92 and be received the following
answer, which was, of course, highly
gratifying to said coal dealer:
St. Joseph, Mo., May 28, 1891. Your
letter of recent date, in reference to the
weather for tbe coming winter of 1891-9i.
received and in reply I will say that it
will be the coldest and most stormy, with
tbe greatest snow storms especially deep
and driftinffsnows that have been exper
ienced for many years. Cold weather,
with blizzards and drifting snows, will
begin early in October in the elevated
regions of Colorado and tbe Dakotas and
very cold weather, earlier than is usual,
will cover the states and territories of tbe
northwest and the Missouri river valleys.
With the very deep snows that will tall
and tbe numerous fierce Etorms tbat will
occur, travel and transportation will be
greatly impeded.
About the middle of December tbe
weather will become warmer and average
warm till about tbe first of January 1S92,
when tbe cold waves will come Bgain and
January and February will average colder
than lias been experienced in many years
past. (
In effect I bave made these statements
heretofore through tbe public press and
in my lectures, and my reasons for mak
ing tbese predictions are based on identi
callv tbe same causes that were my pre
dictions tbat proved to be so accurate for
tbe winter of 1890 91.
Respectfully, W. T. Foster.
The Foproro Cruse.
The popcorn crazi, sprung on the peo
ple here something like three years ago,
continues unabated. It has not died
out as prophesied by the envious ice
cream venders and candy dealers. It
seems to be here to stay. Everybody
eats the stuff. Children cry for it, and
their fathers and mothers and big uncles
and brothers enjoy it almost as much, if
they don't make the same amount of fuss
about it. It is generally good and wor
thy tbe ado that is mide about it. Some
times the maker is careless and dopes it
with butter that keeps you awake all tbe
next night, and sometimes he greases the
paper bag and fixes it so tbat tbe customs
er greases himself and everybody else.but
there are flaws in every good thing; tbe
people know it, allow for it, kick a little
about it, perhaps, and go right on eating
popcorn.

A Hard Fall.
Luke Kiilion, an aged laborer living at
1216 Farnam street, was a sufferer from
painful acr'dnnt ynterdav. As he wa
pssing the Offl :e saloon on Brady street
a boy who was wetting down the side
walk and street, according to Mr. K., let
the hose fall so that the stream or water
struck the feet of the aged man. Either,
as he says, the force of the stream
knocked Mr. Killion'a feet from under
him, or in his attempt to get out of its
way be slipped, and fell upon his hip with
such force that the pain caused bim to
scream repeatedly. He was carried to
Dr. McCortney's office in such agony that
he begged the doctor to administer chlo
roform to him, . but as an examination
showed no bones broken, and nothing
but a seyere! bruise upon the old gentle
man's hip, the doctor declined to do so.
The sufferer, was made as easy as possi
ble and was taken home in the patrol
wagon. Tbe injury was a rather serious
one for a man of Mr. Kiilion s eee. about
70 years, and his demonstrations caused
a large crow to gather about the scene of
the accident at the time. Davenport

The Sew Arrangement.
The Davenport & Rock Island Street
Railway company got its new ar
rangement, toward which it has been
aiming for several weeks, in successful
running shape this morning. The longs
est run is now 13 hours and the shortest
12 for either motormen or conductor'.
The first car comes out at 5:37 a. m. ani
the others come out at every half ho
thereafter, until the full complement it.

for Moline leaves the lower end at 9 22.
Tpere are through cars on the blue line at
9 p. m . 9:15 p. m , 9:45 p. m. and 10,
and this does not take into account
the half way cars. This arranges
ment will be permanent and while
conductors have been taken off some of
the syndicate lines in Davenport which
are not paymg, they will remain here
where the business warrants the company
iu Keeping mem. wnen the tlm street
electric cars are started ajrain tbey will
probably run without conductors, but the
two Hock Island and Moline lines, the
best in tbe tri-city system, need con dues
tors and the company would run a risk
in dropping tbeni.

vmci ui i unce i iii. aiuicr is mating a
splendid job of the new barn adjoining
poiice headquarters for his new patrol
wagon and double team. Tbe barn is
a model of convenience and neatness, and
is also commodious. The new wagon
will be delivered tomorrow. Chief Miller
also proposes to bave a neat sign over
the door Police Patrol," and one over
tbe door to his office, "Police Headquar
ters," supplanting tbe weatber-worn an
tiquated inscription, "City Marsha's Of.
flee, ' which in tbe good old days meant
primarily 'office of the citv dog catcher."'
There is more significance attached to
the head of the police force now, and
Miller proposes to bold this branch of the
municipal service in its proper sphere.
