Huddled upon an old dilapidated-
looking couch in a barn at 2GU9
Fifth-and-a-half avenue, was found
the dead body of Alphous Popcr,
about 7 o'clock last evening by Aug
ust Mortier. who conducts a board
ing house at the above number. The
unfortunate man had bcs;n loitering
about the place for several davs in a

iissipated condition, ana wiinout
linances, prevailing upon the people
to furnish him with a place to sleep.
This was refused him. but he was
permitted to sleep in the outbuild
ing, where he was discovered dead
by Mortier last night.
Ihe deceased was a io'gian, un
married and about 55 vears of age.
From information received from ac
quaintances of his, Foper had resided
in Kock island atout a vear, uuriug
which time he followed the vocatioa
of laborer, while recently having
driven a team for Saloonkeeper Auers,
Discharged for Drinking.
Poper was emploved about two
months by Auers, when his love for
intoxicating beverages began to in
terfere with his duties, and shortly
before the Fourth he was given to
understand tht hi services were
no lonirer required. The fact of his
being out of employmeni.ni appears,
made him despondent.' Liquor in
duljrence was resorted to as an agon
cy for banishing the thought of fu
ture prospects, ana tne consequence
was a iuick disappearance 01 wuai-
ever little earnings ho might have
possessed. While he was not always
under the influence of intoxicants,
his former excessive habits, cou
pled with apparent worry, began
to show its dissipatiiTg. effect, and
heavy drinking would shatter him
very noticeably physically. nday
he "appeared at the Mortier house
apparently under tne lnuuence 01

according to Mortier, displayed 110
evidence of having been drinking.
but he appeared to be troubled with
cramps 111 his liauits. , Mortier iook
him into tne House ana cave mm
eatables and savs he soon became re
lieved from the cramp. Late in the
afternoon Poper, seemingly weak, re
paired to the barn, where he had
made a practice of sleeping, and laid
down ou an old lounge. About a
o'clock a cup of tea was given him
then he was left alone. When n-g!il
came, Mortier, being somowhat fear
ful of having anyone sleep in the
outbuilding during tho night, went
out to arouse Popcr.
He V Dead.
Poper had expired. Mortier sum
moned Dr. Hollowbuiii, and the cor
oner was notilied. The phvsician
in examining the body, detected no
evidence of violence or self-destruction,
and pronounced death as due to
an attack of heart trouble.
Coroner Hawes conducted au in

taken to an adjoining nousc. 1110

Last evening he" wandered away from
his home, ostensibly for the purpose
of taking a stroll. "When a short dis

destination, noticing Tilleuian's ex

The latter said he intended boarding
a street car for some point. Suspec

Irieud watched him. 11c proceeded
straight for the Moline bridge,
from which he jumped into
the river without faltering a mo

deep at this point Tilleman's friend
hurried after him and jumped in
with the intention of saving him.
A struggle ensued, in which Tille

lice and others attracted by the cries,
saved both men. It was necessary
to bind Tilleman hand and foot be

shore, where he fought the police and
assistants desperately.

That the river is not being searched

were precipitated into the Missis

would have perished in the waves
but for' the elements having carried
the crafts to which thcywere cling
ing over onto a sand-lar at tne loot
of the government islam!.
Two skiffs, one containing David

John Halov and Joseph Kosenlield
started across the river to Davenport

the approaching storm were gather.
i:ig. The lirst crowd landed safely
on the other side before the elements
became cyclonic. But the latter
party was in the middle of the
stream, when the craft was struck by
the waves and gradually began to
till with water.
Help Signal Sounded.
Realizing the serious predicament
of the men in the sinking boat, the
signal for help was sounded from the
draw pier. This attracted the at
tention of the crew which had landed
on tUj other side, and two men,
John Mageeand David Tobin, started
to the rescue But before they
reached their companions their boat
also upset, and the live men were
clinging to the craft They re
maiccd in the water fully au hour,
but no one came to their rescue. The
winds commenced to blow from the
northwest and this alone saved
them, as it landed the boats against
a and-bar at the foot of the island,
or the whole party would have other
wise drowned, all being about ex
hausted when it was reached. Somo
of the men lost amounts of money
.and other clothes.
It was currently reported that a
woman was with the party, and while
she with the others was saved, her
name cannot be ascertained.
An Eveolnc Blaze.
The department was summoned to
the vicinity of Sixth street and
Fourth avenue about 9 o'clock last
evening, where the story-and-a-half
frame cottage of William Sehnert,
at 417 Sixth street, occupied by M.
E. Lloyd, was discovered on fire, the
flames being continad to the upper
floor. Water was applied and soon
extinguished the blaze without any
serious daaasg to the house, al
though the ocenpants wearing ap
