Matters Discussed by the City Council. THE ANNUAL APPEOPRIATIONS. The Fire Department lines Not Rerelve the Alii it Merits and a Chancre of Attitude Toward It Id Confidently Hoped For The raving Contract Other Matters liro ight Up. At the meeting of the city council last evening, the time was mostly taken up in looking after this year's appropriations. The lirst matter that was of special interest was the receipt of a bid by the city clerk on the Twenty-third street and Seven teenth and Nineteenth street paving work. A discussion arose as to who her or not the hid should be opetied, some of the aldermen being of t le opinion that it should lie opened and if the price was not ex tortionate, to let the work at once. Oth ts, however, contended that it was not fair to do so, for the reason thai the bid had not been received during the specified time, which was up "o July 8, and accordingly the bid should not be considered at all. The latter view was then taken of the matter and the clerk instructed to readvertise. The attention of the council was then called by Aid. Blndel to the transfer of some lots from the city to the Rock Island Pk w company, which had never bet n properly complied with, and the mayor volunteered to look after the matter. There was action taken on a t umber of minor matters, such as catch basins, lights, tilling, etc., in tin- different wards, after which the mt.tter of appropriations came tip. Appropriation for 1893. Before making the appropriations this year City Attorney Haas at the instigation of Mayor Medill looked up the matter of making appropria tions and found that what had here tofore been done in that line was en tirely illegal in form, anil accordingly the funds for use of the different cc mmittees were set aside last night strictly in compliance with the law. T do this the ordinance for the set ting aside of the tax levy was passed, b it the apportionment of the esti 11 ated revenue was done by resolu tion, as in this, way money can. if found necessary later in the year, be transferred from one fund to another s mply by resolution, which formerly v as required to tie done by ordi nance. The total of the appropria tions for the fiscal year 1893 niounts to $123,343.1 apportioned to the dif ferent funds as follows: Inter "nlHiiult'l de! t... 1'llhlir 1 lrur H alt rwork itrojirrty l!i lB puvntile l.i(fht : ricl'R ' ontiugrcr t Kire (1 -'mrtme t . .. . ilinltu I'oMcu ifliie 1- ction- t'rinl.nff . salaries.

If there was any fund that needed to be increased it was certainly that of the lire department, but instead it has been cut down $500 lower than the appropriation of last year. To say that this is poor encouragement for manufacturers and others who contemplate building to go on with their work would be putting it mild ly. The residents of the city are now being heavily taxed to support at paid lire department which is lirst class as far as it goes, and has un doubtedly saved the loss of thousands of dollars to property holders, but its efficiency is greatly hampered by a "penny wise and pound foolish" sense of economy. With the judi cious investment'of $2,000 to $3,000 the efficiency of the present depart ment could be more than doubled, and it is indeed a pity that some arrange ment could not be made whereby it could be extended, especially when other funds much less urgent have been increased. There is nothing more terrible than ti e, and there is nothing that a community feels more safety and confidence in than when lying down at night to know that its lives and property are guarded by a competent corps of well drilled lire men. In case any accident should occur whereby the present company would be hindered from reaching a fire when it would be most needed the failure of the council to provide suitable protection would- then forci bly be brought out, and such an acci dent may occur at any time. Before the additional companies could be gotten in operation half of the year would be gone and therefore half the expense for maintenance would also be cut off, so that there seems to be no good "reason why it should not be started at once, the fact being taken into consideration also that the ap paratus could also be gotten on time, which would make the draft on the city's funds this year hardly noticea ble. Let's have the the extension by all means. Charles W. Mosher, tbe president cf the wrecked Capital National bank, of Lin coln, Neb., has been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for falsifying ranwili THE HAND OF DEATH. Mrs. Margaret lireehy FaHe Away Fu neral of W. Newberry. Mrs. Margaret Greehy, widow of the late John Greehy, died at her home, 2533 Vine street, at 4:20 this morning, of an affection of the stom ach, aged 64 years. She had not been well for a year and a half past, when she suffered an attack of the grip. About a week ago she was taken much worse and passed to her reward this morning. Deceased was born in Ireland, coming to this coun try in 1846 and settling in Davenport, where she resided until about 15 years ago, when she moved to this city. She leaves two sons, Thomas and John, both engineers on the Rock Island road and who reside at home and who were much devoted to her. Mrs. Greehy during her residence here, had, ly her kind disposition, won many friends who will sincerely mourn her demise. The funeral will occur from St. Joseph's church on Thursday morning with inter ment at St. Marguerite's cemetery in Davenport. Mr. New berry's Funeral. The funeral of the late Nathanial W. Newberry, of Lincoln, Neb., was held this morning, with services at the First M. E. church, Rev. Dr. C. E. Taylor officiating. There was a large attendance of old-time friends of the deceased. Nathaniel Waldo Newberry was one of Rock Island's pioneer settlers. He was a native of New York state, being born in Catarangus county August 27, 1S25. He came to Illi nois in 1845 and settled in Galena, but in 1851 he removed to Rock Isl and and made his home here and in Davenport until about a year ago, when with his wife he removed to Lincoln to spend his declining years with his son and daughter. Itladel. Death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Bladel in South Rock Isl and at 9 o'clock last evening and claimed their infant son, James Fay, aged 2 months. The funeral occurs from the home of Mr. Bladel in South Rock Island at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, in charge of Undertaker Wheelan. ON A JAUNT. Snpervitirfl Combine Fleaftnre with Tlusi ne.4fl. The board of supervisors visited the lower end of the county in a body last night, going down on the steam er. Silver Crescent, to ajrain look into the much mooted Drury road case. The county legislators were royally received and entertained by the Business Men's association of Muscatine, at whose rooms last even ing they were feasted, and this morning they were driven over to Drury township in carriages where the-iuspected the road in question. and were then driven back to the en terprising city where they took a train on the Rock Island road for home, reaching here about noon, de lighted with their jaunt and all that attended it. Tomorrow the supervisors will be off on another little tour, the day havinr been set for the annual visit to the county farm. FoorniaRter'a Itond. At vesterdav afternoon's session the bond of Charles R. Wheelan as overseer of the poor for Rock Island was presented, and as the board had at its last session appointed Charles Lngel as overseer, the bond of Mr. Wheelan was tabled. This act leaves the conflict of authority be tween the city and county still un settled, but there are members of the board who propose to call the matter up again and to see to it that the city is not so unceremoniously snubbed without at least an explanation, as was the ease yesterday. The people of Rock Island believe it should be their privilege to select their own overseer as they have been in the habit of doing, and as was done this spring when Mr. Wheelan was chosen by the city"s representatives. The Columbian lark Project. The idea of the city retaining a portion of the Columbian tract for park purposes is meeting with many expressions of approbation, especial ly from the eastern portion of the city where the people are famishing for that sort of a breathing place. That the city should have such an opportunity to thus provide itself with a park in keeping with those located in other portions of the city, is deemed exceedingly fortunate and one that the city ot Rock Island can not afford to overlook. Let the Improvement association take the matter in hand at its next meeting and take such steps as may bring it properly to the attention of the city council. Notice to Stockholders. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Black Hawk Home stead Building Loan and Saving as sociation will be held (in the secre tary's office in Bengston block on Tuesday evening, July 18, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of electing four directors for the period of three years.

Forsander attended the farewell banquet, which was given in honor of the Rt. Rev. ISishop K. (Jez von Scheele, at Chicago last evening. At a recent meeting of the board of regents, the following calls to pro fessorships in this institution were extended: To Rev. Prof. C. M. Esb- jorn, to the chair of Swedish lan guage; to Prof. V. Lund, of Bethany college, Lindsborg. Kan., to teach vocal and instrumental music. At a recent meeting of the faculty of philosophy of the university of Upsala, Sweden, the degree of doctor of philosophy was conferred upon President O. Olsson. The degree of doctor of divinity has alo been con ferred upon the Rev. Prof. C. E Lindberg by the Muhlinberg college Allentown, Pa. This was a most agreeable, as well as merited, sur prise which awaited the professor upon his return to the city of .New York, where he is spending his vaca tion. J. K. (i. . Prosneet Park. No more delightful pleasure resort isotlereu the people of the three cities than Prospect park, the termi nous of the Moline Central railway company.
