IN 2-PIE IOC PACKAGES. Mell-Soui.eCoSyracuse.N.Yj
After informing the mayor ftlnd he
public last night in council meeting
that there was a combination of eight
aldermen formed in the early part of
the prent administration to hold up
for one week the names of men pre
sented for confirmation. Aid. O'Con
nor refused to tell the mayor who the
aldermen were, saying, "I am no in
formant." He said he was a part of
the combination so moved to lay over
for one week the appointment of
Charles Olson as patrolman.
Vho was in the combination is still
a mystery. Both of the aldermen
from the Fourth ward pleaded ignor
ance, but Aid. Robbins indicated that
he knew something about it and was
not ashamed of it, by correcting Aid
u uonnor in nis statement tnat it was
formed in the early part of the admin
istration. He said the agreement was
reached when it was found necessary
to order the discharge of several offi
cers who had been confirmed, on ac
count of the records produced against
them.
Hold Up Wages.
It seems that Olson has been serv
ing the city in the capacity of patrol
man lor some time and nis name ap
peared on the pay roll for a portion of
month's wages. This was held up
also by the aldermen pending the vote
on his confirmation.
The mayor was again visibly affect
ed when the pay roll ordinance was
passed, allowing W. L. Ludolph pay in
accordance with the agreement hiring
him as special counsel, and when the
opportunity came he offered his ob
jections and a veto to that portion of
ihe ordinance relating to the payment
for legal services.
License Ferry Company.
License to operate a ferry between
Rock Island and Davenport was giT
?n the Rock Island-Davenport Ferry
company. This is a renewal for a term
of five years, the fee being $100 per
year.
Judges and clerks of elections for
the ensuing year were also named at
the council meeting, and the list will
be found in the official proceedings.

Sunday a mission was opened at the

Fathers. The church is thronged
nightly by Catholics and non-Catholics.
The sermons are of a superior order.
The Dominican order was founded by
St. Dominic about 700 years ago. The
object he had in view in founding this
order was, as his motto, "Verites" in
dicates the diffusion of truth. Their
action has been felt in every part of
the world. Since the Spanih-Amcri
ran war much has been said about
hem and other friars, and the name
friar has in fact become of late a
familiar word here. But few are
aware that not so very long ago about
the middle of the last century, one of
them Fr. Charles Samuel MaggucelU
labored in this neighborhood for the
ldvancenient of the Catholic cause
Davenport, Dubuque, Galena, Benton
Sinsinarre were his fields of action.

Rock Island from Dubuque at 11:55,
was derailed at the Burlington cross

leaving the track and plunging into
two box cars on the siding. The two
freight cars were demolished, and the
engine of the passenger train consid
erably damaged. The wrecker from
Davenport was called to clear the
tracks. Traffic both ways was blocked
this afternoon.

TEHAN WAS NOT MURDERED
This Coroner's Opinion Even Though
Neck Was Broken.
It having been found that the body
of Edward Tehan, the Fulton farmer
whose remains were found Saturday
in the river near Clinton, had been
some what mutilated and the neck
broken, the theory was advanced that
a murder had been committed, this ex
plaining Tehan's mysterious disappear-!
ance Nov. 2. This theory, however,
is not given much credence by Cor
oner Hulliqger, who believes that the
mutilations Were caused by tho ice and
that the broken neck was received in
the fall into the river when the man
leaped to his death, possibly from the
high bridge at Lyons.

croupy cough appears will prevent the
attack. For sale by all leading drug
