The democracy of Rock Island city and township has been wonderfully favored In its choice of candidates for the various offices to he voted for at the approaching municipal and town election. It has probably never been before that all ele ments of party preference were so well satisfied, and tbis speaks much for party harmony, which is an essential forerun ner of party enthusiasm. It may be re a aonably regarded therefore that the sound discretion which has displayed its part in the preliminary stages will afterward be manifested at the polls, and that next Tuesday will record a democratic triumph at every voting place in the city and township of Rock Island. Inasmuch as the democracy has had the good for tune to choose the coming aldermen from each of the several wards, the Argcs may, with every sense of propriety, pre sent an introduction: Mr. Cbas. Strupp, of the First ward, is a carpenter by trade, and has become known to almost everybody in the ward through hisenergy and industrious habits, and he may be regarded as a man who will serve bis fellow citizens there and throughout the city faithfully and well in the municipal chamber. Cbas. Durmann, of the Second ward. is a stove moulder; works hard at bis trade, but he finds lime to talk improve ments after working hours and to give Tent to his expressions of pride in his particular part of town. He is com posed of the right kind of material ex actly for an alderman, and the vot ers of the Second .ward will never regret the day they choose him as their alder manic representative. Joseph Oeiger, of the Third ward, is a cigar manufacturer, and has the largest factory in Rock Island. He has built up by thrift and peneverance an enterprise which be established upon the fruits of bis individual efforts and industry. He is a good business man, and will be a good alderman. Henry Frick in the Fourth ward is the proprietor ef the livery stable on Second avenue opposite Spencer square. He is a thoroughly upright and go-a-head bus inesa man and is the right kind of a man exactly that is wanted in the Rock Island council In these progressive times. John Atkinson, of the Sixth ward, has already served his ward one term in the council and he made a record that was in every way creditable to himself and bis ward. He will show the same consid erate spirit as a member of the incoming council. Paul Thiesen, of the Seventh ward, is a wagon maker and Is popular with all who know him and will he a number one alderman. The great mass of the voters of the ward are enthusiastic over Mr. Thiesen and say they don't want any better man than he. ABBREVIATED TELEGRAMS.

Cramer, an Akron machinist, took out licenses in the probate court yes terday morning to marry Lucinda Snyder, the daughter of a Mogadore farmer. Sprankle was on hand early at the court, and was anxious to know if his securing a license would prevent anybody else getting one. He was told that it would not Half an hour later Cramer appeared and got a li cense, remarking that there must be some mistake when told of the license previously issued.

Mi.ss Lizzie Van Note, twenty years of age and quite a belle in Long Branch society, was rotten-egged while she was taking a walk Tuesday even ing, by a number of young men who had concealed themselves behind fences and trees. Four arrests were made. The young men were arraigned before a magistrate, to whom they denied that they bad thrown eggs at Miss Van Note, but they admitted that they were thrown at her pet dog that was with her. The dog was not hit One cause allege I for the assault is that it was an attempt inspired by some families in the neighborhood to "take down Miss Van Note's pride." The Scandal Monger at Work. Another btory is circulated to the effect that the young men committe-l the assault to punish Miss Van Note lor receiving atten tions from a resident of Asbiiry Park who is a married man, but it is said by the young woman and her friends that her acquaint ance with the Asbury Park man never passed the bounds of strict propriety. The affair is not likely to end with the decision of the court in the case of the four young men, as Miss Van Note is not lacking in friends who think the indignity to which she has been subjected should be punUned more severely than the statutes prescribe The plea of the offenders is not accepted by any one. The examination of the voting men was continued. THAT RUNAWAY NUN. Her Attempt at Escape, Caused bjr Sick ness, Kesults In Her Death. West Chester, Pa., March Z!.

THE MISSOUEIAN CRACK8HIS JOKE, Its Point Reingthat the Farmers' Alliance Can Ron the Senatorial MMhine if It Wants to log-alls Tartly Taunts the fetvlrt Constructionists with Their Lock of lufluence ia Recent Tears The Talk In the House Official Notes. Washington City, March 27. The Sher man anti-trust bill was the occasion of an other lively debate in the senate yesterday, Vest and Ingalls contributing most to the entertain meat Vest, who has opposed the bill because it is, as be believes, unconstitu tional, declared that he would not say an other word about the constitution. He was prepared to "join the procession." It re minded him of the hunting party that made an agreement that the fint man who com plainod of a dish set before him in camp should cook for week. One of them hap pened to kill an old crow and cooked it for the mess, and every one praised it as a most delicious morsel The "Farmers' Alliance" was cooking now, and no dish could be placed on the senatorial table that would not he taken w ith a gusto that would de light a l'arisian gourmand. He character ized the bill as a "remarkable act of legisla tive legerdemain. " It said to tbe persons engaged in dealing in futures and options that they were a lot of criminal thieves and robln-rs, but thut if they would pay t,000 into the treasury they might go on rob bing. InfculN' Characteristic Defense. Ingalls, iu defending his amendment (im posing a tax on option dealing), said he could not conceive of anything more humor ous or more grotesque than to see the sen ators from Louisiana, Mississippi and Mis souri, and th-ir associates, rise in their seats on every occasion and plead the constitu tion with a simulation of terror, as if tbe minutest alerration of that sacred instru ment would like the death of Kosciusko "make freedom shriek." In seemed to him that it would be a little more becoming for thosa senators to rememls?r that their view of the constitution had not been maintained by the people of the United States. Ingalls commended to those construers of tha con stitution the contemplation of the results of their criticisms during the last thirty years, and suggested to them whether it was not barely possible for th-m to be mistaken in invoking the constitution against the effort to remove the burden of the monstrous and crying evil against which the bill and amendment were aimed. The Wyoming Case the House. There was also a warm debate in the house on the bill for tbe admission of Wyom ing as a state. Strong pleas in favor of such action were made by Carey of Wyoming, and others, but the Democrats made a vigor ous oppoitinn.

Mansur of Missouri addressed himself, he said "to the country, if not to the house for on an actual count there were not twelve members in their seats, and said that the slim attendance reminded him of the fact that the house was liringing a state into tbe Union by the ( a-.-arian operation rather than with the care and comfort which sur rounded the accouchment of an honorable memtier of an honorable family. THE NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. Coudensed Record of the Proceedings la the Two House. Washington City, March i. 7.

TWO NON-UNION SAILORS KIDNAPED Surprised Aboard Hhip They Are Grabbed, Gagged, and Bound, and Then Taken to an Island Off the Coast Ofncers Make a Descent and Resrue the Prison ers The Kidnapers Held In Ball Other Cases of Transgression . Los Angeles, CaL, March 27. A sensa tional story has just been developed here in relation to the kidnaping of two sailors named John Kemp and Albert Busch from the schooner Nettie Sondberg, at San Pedro, on Feb. 26, by members of the Pacific Coast Seam n's union. For a time it was thought they were murdered, but it recently leaked out that the men hod been spirited away by the union because of a strike on the schooner. Deputy Sheriff Anderson, Pilot David Wnldt, and Deputy Constable Georgo Morris were detailed to work up the case. They learned that the two sailors were prisoners on the south coast of Cataina island at a place called Little Harbor. Rescue of the Prisoners. Reinforced by Deputy Sheriff William Haiuniell and A. W. Marsh, they proceeded secretly to San Pedro so as not togive alarm to tbe union. Deputies Hammell and Marsh were left in Han Pedro to watch the sup posed kidnapers, while Anderson, WaMt and Morris boarded the pilot boat Naiad In the night, and bailed for Cataliuu island. When they arrived at Little Harbor the dep uties surprise! the two sailors in a tent guarded by two men named EntvoUlson and Johnson, members of the Coast Seamen's anion. The rescued sailors were taken on board the Naiad, and brought to this city. Morjr of Their Capture. The story of their capture as told by Kemp and Busch is highly sensational. Busch said: "When the kidnapers boarded the Nettie Sondberg she lay alongside of the wharf, and the first thing that we knew of Impending danger was when I was grabbed, jagged and bound, and Kemp was hauled out of hi berth Lefore be could use bis re volver. We were cursed at and threatened, and no time was given us to dress, but they hurried us on board a 'double ender.' Pa trolman Keil was the leader of the party. Once on board the union boat, sail wag made and we coasted as tar as Portuguese Bend, where a consultation was held, after which we were set ashore and can ied later to Little Harbor." Advised Not to Prosecute. Kemp says thot during the trip they In come convinced that they were going to be murdered, and they determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible. Kemp had a razor and Busch a knife, and each picked out his man and made up their minds to "mark them with a trade mark" in case they were attacked. Tbe rescued sailors have been approached by members of tbe union and advised not to prosecute, as it would do them no good, but they intend to see the case through, and 1 ave sworn out com plaints against Alfred Anderson and "Pa trolman" Keil, charging them with assault with a deadly weapon and abduction. The leaders have been held in (5,0oo bail bv Judge Austin. TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED. Bold and Infamous Attempt of Six Texas Scoundrels. El Paso, Tex., March 27.
