This morning an Argus reporter called upon Clarence Mart at his cell in the county jail and questioned him concern ing the affair at Moline Saturday niirht. Mart's statement in substance was this: I went to Moline at 0:30 Saturday even ing and after dancing a set Miss Nellie Russell of this city said she wanted to talk with me. Wre walked about twelve feet away from the dance hall, when this young Barnard I guess his name is, for I never saw him before came up with three other fellows; the three stopped at a distance and Barnard came up and said they wanted to speak to me. I said I would go in a minute. But you must go now, he said. I then told him I would not go until I gut through talking with the young lady. He said he would make me go, and I said he could not, but I would go in a minute." How long is a minute" he said, putting up Ins hands as if to light. Just then the other three came up and said, "Frank, you have struck the wrong man," and I said I should like to kuow what he is blowing to me about, whereupon he turned and said, ''well, what are you go ing to do about it?" nnd motioned as if to strike me, nnd I hit him three times and that is all there is to it. I think there was a conspiracy among the three to whip somebody and I w as mistaken for the person. 1 did what 1 did in self de fense." The young woman in the case has pub lished the following: I hereby ccilify that I am Ihe young lady Clarence Marls wits talking to at the firemen's picnic, and thai Frank Barnard did not insult or even speak to me. NkI.I.IK lil'SSKl.l,. It is evident therefore, that, from Mr. Marl's statement as well as the young woman's that she was not the cause ol the cpisoile. Mr. liarn.inl is still quite fcehle, and has not bivn allowed to talk concerning the case, so his state ment will not tic given until he is in a better way to recovery. The pie liminary examination of Mart takes place next Tuesday. Consistency- The Dixon Avh asscrls that "If Dixon does not secure the soldiers' and sailors' lioiue it w ill lie clear to all that the seem ing fairness alioiit the work of locating the institution was in the interest of a few, and was a put up job from begin ning to end. Until Dixon should haps J en to lie the i.htee that lias been agreed upon, w hy then you see, il w ill add pleas ure to satisfaction to know that the gift was not bestowed thoughtlessly or hasti ly, but was gained after the distinguished members ol tin- commission had visited all of the most lieautiful competing cities and sites in the state, tin. I, with coins inciidahlc discrimination, awarded Ihe home to Dixon on account of natural advai. tact's. " So the commissioners must villi. ) hi cite the home at Dixon or be termed ras cals.

Coyne Arrested m the torn- plaint of His Neighbors The Trial Postponed Until Monday. (SLORY TO GOD. The Good Work at the Methodist Camp Meeting ContinuesYesterday's Dili HITS. The first of the week Superintendent of Waterworks Stafford addressed the following letter to W. L. Coyne, the well known real estate agent, and the d.icu meiit is explanatory in itself: Rock Island. III., Aug. 17, 1S8.V W. L. Cuvnk, Esq , Dear Sir: Com plaint has been made to me today by two citizens (your neighbors) that you are wasting a good deai of water by drawitig from the hydrant without putting on the goose neck. I saw myself that there is a mud hole opposite your hydrant, aad was told that you caused it, as mentioned above. The ordinance is very explicit relative to the willful waste of water. Phase intend to this matter, as 1 don't want to lake extreme measures in the case. KesK'ctfully, Mourns T. Stai'Koiih. Supt. of Waterworks. A day later Mr. Stafford received the following reply: The dogs may be willing, but the tail is weak, and too short. W. L. Coy Nic. The superintendent inferred from these classic remarks that his requests were not to be complied with, so there was no al ternative other than In commence legal action, and this he proceeded forthwith o do. A complaint was sworn out be oi'e Magistrate Bennett, and Mr. Covnc on appearing before Ihe local court last evening pelitoncd for a change of venue to Justice llawes. which was granted. The case came up lor hearing this morn- and a continuance was allowed the letendant by Ihe 'Squire until n. l M.ni- ly morning. It seems that Mr. Coyne, w ho has rooms in the llillier block al the northwest cor ner of Third avenue and Scventeetnh sl reel has been accustomed to .turning the by - Irani as described in Mr. SUITord's letter to him and in catching whatever tie could of the water, allowed a great deal to waste, the result being a constant pool of water in the mud which has been a griev ance lo the other occupants if the block, who lodged the compl tint. It, is further staled, howevi r, that the defendant in this case has been seen to emerge from his rooms al about 10 o'clock al night and roceed to the hydrant where he would lake a shower bath. Tins has also been the uhjeel of much complaint on the part of the residents ."long Sevcntct mil street. Mr. Coyne has seemed counsel and pul pites to make a light ol it. Last evening be approached Mr. Slall'ord in the post lliee and an altercation eiisciid ;n which some threatening lanu iL'e w a-used. Mr. Coyne claims that the whole affair originated in spue work. licit he is care ful to avoid waste ol waier, and licit ad tatements m ule t.v the compl linanl are false, lie s ns trial there is a eonsi.ira. v against him which extends even into the oilice of the police l:l ie isl rai e, for w hen he asked for a eliariL'c of venue Justice It, imcM refuse, l . gi-tni il. and he had to secure the services of in att...nie in or.h-r t g.1! ii lb asserts his innocence in the matter and claims he Is oaii'iote ol provini; H next .ii..imi ;.

The thirsty element of Orion, 111., can now quench their thirst with any ileeoc tion known to the saloon trade by purs chasing it by the galion. A gallon house was opened in that village last Saturday a quarter of a mile south of the village limits, and a good trade was at once es tablisiied. The man who is acting as the proprietor is conducting it very shrewd ly, so as to keep in the limits of the law The law says that no liquor shall be drank on the premises of a gallon house and to protect himself against this, he purchased only twenty sigiare feel o ground, covered it with life house, am: sells from his windows. The gallon house is the outgrowth of the contested village election case that was dismissed at the last term of our circuit court. Enockeri.

Arriving at their destina tion they found to their disappointment that things were not. as bad been repre sented. All maimer of ill-luck was t hen's but in their misfortune they had sympathy and an appreciation of ttieir destitution in a family of Smiths, who came from Columbus. Ohio. Finally four families decided lo start for home, and of these were the two young people who were married in B ck Island today. They came to Bock Island at. an early hour this morning, and while the families were partaking of their noon meal in their wagons near court house square, the young cou pie mentioned suddenly decided to share the future pleasures and pangs of life as one. They went to the county clerk's olllce, secured a license, and then proceeded lo tin- First Baptist church parsonage where Mr. uead pronounced them man and wife.

Camp Meeting Gkounds, Aug. 20. The sun came up this morning at the grounds unohseured by clouds. The air is pure and clear. The tenters were astir early and holding family worship at 6:30 a. in. All arc enjoying themselves; the social feeling among all is strong. Here and there are knots of ministers, groups of ladies, bevys of maidens and children laughing and chatting, having given up the duties of life for a week of social and religious enjoyment. The ministers, ol all others, are enjoy ing the meetings and social inteteourse. Methodist ministers, as a whole, though, are men who make the most of life ami its enjoyment; but why not being en gaged m the work they are working foi God, bis cause and the salvation of the immortal soul. The meeting last night was one never to be forgotten in the experience of many, no less than live or six souls professing a sav ing knowledge of God and his goodness lu v. Miller preached the sermon and was listened to with breathless interest throughout. His text, "What Think You of Christ V" was handled with a skill indi cative of his knowledge of the subj.'ct. Hi proved that Christ had come to the world: that, be died; that be rose again; that hi arose and is now at the right, band of God interceding for us. He asked the qui lions "What Think You of Christ?" Can vou serve him? Will you nerve him? Win n'' If you are not ready now, when will you be? Kev. Hamilton led the prabe and prayer meet ings. Thursday afternoon Bev. Smith preached from Gen. ;5 11, "Where Art Ihou?' This he said, was a question asked us all by God. He proceeded to show that we had sinned, and that God came to us and said, "where art Ihou?' lie said we have mail.: vows in the past Have you tullille.I those vows?
