The accident occurred at about Twen ty-sixth street in Moline, which is just inside the eastern city limits, while the train was running at 35 or 40 miles an hour. Tbe train was stopped and back ed up and the mutilated body placed in the baggage car and brought on into Moline, where it was turned over to the police who Immediately notified Coroner Hawes, who went there at once and im panelled a jury composed ot Myron Jors dan, foreman. E 3 ward Dittclsen.A.Mowry, Noetic btarofsky, Charles Dormoad, and Louis Leach. The first witness examined was Engineer C. F. Horn, who testified that he was engineer of engine 865 and that while running at the rate of 35 or 40 miles per hour, just east of Moline he hail no ticed a man ahead walking along the side of the track atd that was when the en gine was within about one hundred yards of him, he suddenly stepped upon the track. Witness immediately sounded the whistle and reversed his engine, but the man paid no attention and was struck a few seconds later. The engineer fur ther stated that he founded the wh'stle continuously until the man was s'.rcck and thai the bell was ringing all the time as it is operated by steam, and rings while the engine is in motion. Be stoi pcd the train soon as possible and backed up, and tbe unfortunate man was brought to Moline as before stated. In his opinion life was extinct when the train men picked him up. D. C. Wright, fireman of tbe same engine, was next examine!, his tes timony being corroborative of Mr Horn's. After this Undertaker Knox testified as to the body being taken in charge at the depot, and the jury returned a verdict as followt: We, the undersigned jurors sworn to ir quire into tbe death of an unknown mil, on oath do find that be came to his fWih by being struck locomotive engine S65 of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad attached to passenger tram o. 1 in the city of Moline about one mile east of the C .

The man was about five feet seyen iochps tall, weight about 165 or 1 pounds, with light hair cut close to the head and occasionally streaked with gray. He wss apparently 48 to 50 years of agp, and from bis appearance was of Irish nativity.

Oscar Vereland, a wiper in the employ of tbe C, M. & St. P. read, at Daven port, was run over and killed at Delmar Saturday night. Ee was 40 years of age and leaves a wife and three children. The funeral occurred in Davenport this morning. Another collision occurred on the elec tric railwajs in Davenport yesterday owing to carelessness on the part of a motorman on the Brady street line of the Central Railway company. The Third street line of tbe syndicate has the right of way oyer the crossing but the Brady street motorman seemed to forget this and went ahead. The two cars came to gether, but no one was injured although tbe colliding car got the worst of it. Louis Rehling, a Davenport painter, was thrown from his wagon on Second avenue near the corner of Twentieth street this morning, his horse becoming fractious and turning abruptly out of the car tracks a wheel was jerked off and Mr. Rehling fell heavily upon the pavement. The horse broke away and dashed up toward tbe bridge, but was caught near Twenty-fourth street. Mr. Rehling was ati t. ii into Knck's liverv stable where it ' found 'hat his faca W-.8 6crtched though he was not seriously injured, and he pursued his way to Davenport. When the storm came up at 8:30 last night a boat was out in tbe river con taining four persons, two young- men named Paul.'one Joseph Repine, a mm and a boy. The boat was capsized and all on board thrown into the water, and but for the timely work of another boat which put out from the shore, the acci dent would no doubt have resulted f stall v. John Philip, a planer in the Rock Isl and plow shops, was found unconscious in tbe basement of tbe wood working de partment this morning. He had appar ently been in that condition soma time and it is not known how be received his injuries as he was alone at the time the accident happened. He was at once taken to his home on Sixteenth street and Dr. C. B. Kinyon summoned who found that his left arm was fractured, two ribs broken, and he was other ise considera bly bruised about the left side and per haps injured internally, and it is not yet known bow serious his injuries may prove. It is supposed that he had gone down into the basement to run a bel: on, and in so doing had his hand caught which thre-w him so that his face struck a shaft as the side of his face is also badly bruited. rolicn I'olntn. Charles Cadwell and Will Davis were each assessed S3 and costs by Magistrate Wivill this morning for indulging in an "alley scrap" on S-.turday evening. II. Scbrotdcr swore out a warrant on Saturday evening, charging Din Kain with a breach of the peace, and the case will be heard this evening before Magis trate Wivill. John Youngberg and David Johnson were fined $5 and costs each by Magis trate Wivill for reckless driving on Moline avenue last evening, in which they col lided with another vehicle anl serious injury to some of the parties was narrowly averted. A robbery was reported to the police from the "Marble Front" on Tsnty-sec-ond street on Saturday night, and an in vestigation by the police failed to disclose anything except that a jubilee wts being held in the back yard in which "can shooting," as the main feature. George Allen colored, and Billy Waters have "had the ice wagon out" for some time past, they both having been fined about two weeks ago, for indulging in a "mih" and on Saturdiy evening they again got together in the allev in tbe rear of the Rock Island house, and were dabbling in each others gore when George ivei;y, anotuer colored citizen, nova in sight down the alley. wbcr?upon Waters concluded that he would also settle up an old account with Kelly. He ran into a barn and about tbe time K -l.y arrived. Waters appeared with a pitchfork with which he made for Kelly, who managed to get out of the way and the fork only made a few scratches across Kelly s shirt fr.nt, fo be at once made it very inter esting for Waters, putting him to sleep in one round. Alien and Waters were arrested and Mugistra'e Wivill will this evening'Listen to Their Tale of Woe The School Election. The annual school election occurs to morrow, there being but one director to elect this year, Dr. George E. Barth re tiring from the board. There are to be three voting plaoes instead of one, as heretofore. As designated by the mayor they are: For tbe First and Second wards, at the Phoenix hose house. For the Third, Fourth and Fifth, at Dauber's old blacksmith shop on Third avenue. For the Sixth and Seventh at the Cable hose house. Had the election occurred one day later the elective franchise would have been extended to the women, as provided in the new law which takes effect the follow- ind day. Although so far W. B. Ferguson is the only self-announced candidate, there has been for sometime a growing desire among tbe laboring classes to have a rep resentative on the board, and tbe fact that Mr. Ferguson's candidacy is meeting with no enthusiasm, tbe laboring people believe that with tbe right kind of a man they can secure representrlion and recogs nition at this time. Therefore they haye united upon Gustave Klotz, president of tbe Rock Island Carpenters' union, as a candidate and are apt to see to it that be is elected tomorrow. He is amply qualified for the position and is a fit representative of our laboring classes. Base Bait. The "Pencil Pushers" defeated the Black Hawk's in game of ball yesterday near tbe tower by a score of 9 to 6 The Rock Island Grays and the "Saw Mill Boys" played a game yesterday which resulted in the defeat of the latter by a score of 44 to 11.

Tbe ominou? clouds which rose in the west at 8 o'clock last night caused a good deal of apprehension to those who wit nessed their approach, and had tbe effect. of clearing out the congregations in t e various churches, people generally hurry ing home The alarm, however, proved greater than the disaster, as tbe clou-is separated and spread, and all that came was a copious, refreshing downpour of rain, which was very welcome.
