Indications of Rock Inland's Ad vancement Pant I'redletiona Amply i.Yrrlflea In the I'reHpnt ;rowth The Brick Fact ory Braatirj in- the Parks. Three years Bgo the Argus published a series of articles speaking of Rock Isl and's advantages both natural and ac quired, and the bright prospects that were before the city. That the record of the city si ice then has amply borne out every assertion made by the A kg us as to the city then and the indications of what was in store, for it is well shown in the splend d system of street improvements which are so well under way that they will nt t be checked until the entire city is paved, and the building that was done last season and is planned for the present summer. The establishment by the Rock ford Construction company of a plant in Rock Island is not only a gratifying evidence of the prosperity of Rock Island and the advantages it offers, but of the confidence felt by outside capitalists in Rock Isl and's immediite future. For it is a prac tically settled fact now that the contem plated factory will be located at Sears, where representatives of the Rockford company haye been prospecting for some time. In a word the survey has been made and the terms agreed upon by which the Rnckford company is to take posses? ion and erect its buildings at once, prepantory to the reception of the ma chinery as soon as it arrives from Ohio, where it wa9 recently purchased. The company having thus evinced its de termination to locate here, the city cbun- cil.whi e it will no doubt order the paving extensions on Moline avenue at its next meeting, will likely withhold specifying the tiu e when the work is to be done or advert sing for proposals until the new company, which is to be a Rock Island enterprise and industry, is in a position to hid r n the work. The new system of park improvements is fair y under way, and Commissioner Jackfon, of Spencer square, has a force of men at work excavating for the cross walks v.hicli will probably be of tils. The band stand is being moved to one of the angles, while a rustic or an iron fountain will on anient the center. The square is to be nicely sodded and flower beds, etc., providi d. I'ollre I'olnlM. A rase which has the semblance of big amy is pending, which implicates a cou ple in tuis city and which is likely to be prosecuted at most any time. Perry Beckwith swore out a warrant this af crnoon for the arrest of Geo. O'Neill, charging him with the larceny of a coat from the Crown reastaurant on the 11th ul:. John Sullivcn anil John Carroll, a pair of tramps, were run in by Officers Hetter and Set aab last evening for intoxication. This morning they were fined $3 and costs etch and Gred out of town. Frank Blazer, a tramp, while on his way to Davenport was beaten to death with a cane by a fellow tramp just out side of Iowa City early yesterday morn- ng, and robbed of $35. The murderer is believed to have come on this way and the police have been notified to be on the look out for him. Mr. and Mrs. John Jamison, living on Fifth avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, had a serious misunderstanding Thursday, and the re sult was that the head of the household was arrested on complaint of his better half, an 1 yesterday afternoon Magistrate VVivill imposed a fine of $3 and costs. S. J. Oeisinger and John McDarrah engaged in a disgraceful fistic encounter and scu:lle in front of the Rock Island house 8 iloon shortly before noon today. It is not known wh was the aggressor, but a dispute g'ew out of the discussion of the antagonism of the society, the members of which are known as antag onistic to the Roman Catholic church. The nu n attacked each other viciously and desperately, until finally separated in the saloon into which they bad carried their s ruggle, and where James Cor coran became implicated in his efforts to protect his friend McDarrah. Constable Eckharl at last separated the men, and later Officer Kramer put Oeisinger and McDarrah under arrest. Oeisinger had pretty t gly bruises about the eyes, while McDarrah had a severe scalp wound. This afternoon Oeisinger swore out a complaint for the arrest of McDarrah and Corcoran charging them with assault, but a contit unnce was taken until Monday. ltl(III Agalnnt the Field. Repn sentative Crawford, of Edging ton, was again in the city yesterday. The attempt by the Union to bring Dr. VV. T. Bough ton out for the legislature is no doubt accountable for Crawford'B mission to Rock Island, it being a pretty well con ceded fact of which no one is more aware than Bro. Bill himself, that the announce ment of Boughton's candidacy is the part of a republican scheme to defeat him. In a word, it is the field against Craw ford and all elements of the party in the county are concentrated in an effort to accorop ish the purpose which must be Craw ford's political scalp and nothing short i f that will Jo. Boughton's candidacy must be a part of such a plan, as he is not popular with his own party. He was appointed postmaster at Edging ton against thr protests of nearly every republican in the township, and is known to be a man who always has his lightning rod out for anything in sight. As another part of this scheme to down Bro. Bill, Dr. Cozad, of Reynolds, is brought out for senator, and Crandall, of the same neigh borhood, is ticketed for treasurer. With the sou' h end of the county thus pro vidsd for the republican bosses b,pe to knock out Crawford on the geographical issue. - Ridel oards. fancy dining tables, chair. at The Adam9 323 Brady street. Dav enport. A GEORGIA RAID. The titoaenaa Kvploit Daring the War, la whiehKAek.laland tiHt line Soldiers Participated. The last number of the National Trib une the soldiers' paper contains a brief history with cuts, showing the different stages of the physical condition of John W. January.a private, in the 14th Illinois cavalry. He enlisted when a mere lad, being a little over sixteen years old, and joined his regiment as a recruit in Feb 1864. From this time until August 3, 1864, history chronicles some sixteen bat ties in which the 14th was engaged -all of them in the Atlantic campaign On this last date Mr. January was captured on the great Stoneman raid, which proved so disastrous to many of the regiment. He was a prisoner of war at Andersonville, Ga., and Florence, 8. C . , f or about six months. From the ef fects of scurvy, superinduced by starva tion, lie lost his feet, which he himself heroically amputed with a pocket knife. lie still has the knife. He arrived at David's Island, N. Y., a mere skeleton, weighing but forty six pounds, and after seven month's treatment in the hospital, was restored to bodily heahh. All things considered, his case is perhaps the most notable example of nerve and bod idly suffering in the annals of the war. He is yet living, the father of a large family, and walks successfully with his artificial limbs. Francis Watts and Patrick Cunning ham, of Rock Island, and John W. Kelso, of Moline, were captured at the same time. Nothing definitely has ever been heard of their sad fate. Mr. Watts left a family, a widow, two Bons and two daughters. His widow in hfr old age, blessed by kind children, lives in com fort and happiness. Her two sons are in dustrious and prosperous railroad engi neers, and her daughters are respected and beloved by all who know them. Patrick Cunningham was a happy, jolly Irishman, who was a tailor working for Mr. E. H. Hmylhe when he enlisted, ne had no relatives here. John W. Kelso was a frank, open-hearted young roan. always full of dry humor. His parents have never ceased to mourn for him and sorrow over his untimely fate. Major II. C. Connelly, Captain Alvin Everts.

At thr Theatre. The Irish comedian Pat Rooney and bis bright daughter, Kate Rroney. with the support of a fairly good company, pre sented the ludicrous comedy, "Pat's Wardrobe, "to a fair audience at Harper's theatre last evening. The play is with out plot, sense or reason, is constructed purely and simply for laughing purposes and as far as that goes it is a success. The selections by the Quaker City quar tette were rich and highly meritorious. Cleveland's magnificent minstrels ap pear at Harper's theatre next Wednesday evening. This is one of the best burnt cork organizations on the road. Nothing in minstrelsy has ever been seen in the city of New York that equalled the Cleveland consolidated Minstrels last evening at the Grand opera house. Long oetore the going up or the curtain every seat at tne box office was sold and large numbers were turned away. There was more money taken in at the box office than on any Monday evening the worst in the week in the history of the house in the past ten years. The fame of the minstrels evidently had reached this city. The introductory spectacular. "Venetian Nights" costins.it is said. $20,000 is a gorgeous set, rich and tasteful. The fun on the ends were made by Billv Emerson, Uughey Dougherty.John Queen and J. Marcus Doyle, aided by the clever interlocutor Burt Shepard. Tie con certed music, choruses, etc., were equal to the opera, lianks Winter. Messrs. Brydges. Leighton. Somers and Thatcher are vocalists of first-class merits. The Egyptian Phalanx, a drill, was very fine, as was also the dancing acts and musical melange. Billy Lmerson s great specialty kept the audience laughing all the time. The three acts of the three distinct troupes of Japanese concluded an enter tainment such as will probably never be spen after the present two weeks. New York Daily Nete. The I"enple' rw t'unlilpr.
