crime, which fcr flendishness out
ranks anything Rock Island has bad in a
long time was committed on Mrs. W. B.
Hill at ber borne on Nineteenth street
between Sij th and Seventh avenues about
18 o'clock li.st night. She awoke about
tbat hour in horrible agon; and called for
ber husband. The latter came into the
room with a light when Mrs. Hill discov
ered that an acid cf some kind had been
thrown in ber face while she was asleep
nd the liquid had run down on ber neck
and shoulders causing ber the most ex
cruciating piin. Her husbatd immediate
ly went afttr Dr. Einvon, but as the lat
ter was sot at borne he stopped and re
ported the occurrence at the police sta
tion. Dr. Kinyon afterward called at the
house and did what he could to alleviate
the suffering; of the woman. Her cheeks,
nick, shoulder and bhek were covered
with nitric acid which had burned deep
nto the flesh causing her the most intense
suffering.
On lookirg about the room Dr. Kinyon
found the empty bottle which bad con
tained the nitric acid,' and after hearing
W. B-Hill, ber husband's story, it was
concluded tbat it was the work of a burg
lar as a shatter had been taken off down
sta!rs and Bill claimed he had been rob
bed of $35.
The sensation which the affair naturally
creaua was intensified this moraine
hen the police a) rested Hill on suspi
cion of being guilty of the terrible crime
and he is now detained at the station
awaiting dtvelopments. It was found
by the police this morning that Hill had
bought nitrio acid at the Fourth avenue
drug store on Nov. 2. but he in
sists that it was for corns on the hoof
of one of his horses. A part of the acid
was also found in a vial in a vest pocket
at Hill's hone this morning.
Wh en fin t confronted by Chief Miller
about bia hiving bought nitric acid, he
denied it flatly, but afterwaid confessed
tbat be bought it for his horse, and told
the chief wt ere the bottle could be found
at his hone. Chief Miller followed
Hill's directions and got the bottle, and
took it to -he Fourth avenue drug store
where be was informed that Hill had
purchased the acid there on the Sod,
but tbat it was put np in a different
bottle with a large label plainly marked.
Aa far an Chief Miller can ascertain
Hill tells a cumber of conflicting stories.
Last night he said to Capt. Long the
front door and a window were found
open by him, and this morning be told
Officer Kramer that no door waa open
simply a window shutter, when he found
that his bout e had been' entered. Chief
Miller after examination of the front door
lock, dec! art a also that no nippers have
been applied to the lock. Another sua'
picious circumstance is that In Mr. Hill's
room was his vest containing 970 and
his watch, which were undisturbed, yet
near by wera his pantaloons, from the
Dockets of which be asserts t35 was
taken.
Mr. and Mrs. Hill are rather good
looking colored people, and no one has
ever known of any trouble between them
They occupied different rooms adjoining
each other, fcnd last night Mrs. Bill re
tired at 9 an 1 Hill an hour later.

Two More Cases of Incendiarism in
the City.
Mehool Bcildtrc 3La. e Conic p-rlv
Ueatroyftd by the Fire Plead
Twi Other Alarms.
To all appearance the fire bug who has
been at work in Rock Island for some
:ma past has not yet holly satisfied bis
fiendish passion. Last night about 0:30
the department was called to Ninth ave
nue and Nineteenth street, where a sbed
owned by Edward Koenlg, was in flames.
It was in all probability the work of an
iocendinry as there could have been no
other cause for the fire, the house where
it belonged not yet being realv for orcu-
pancy. Tbe damage was nominal.
The second alarm at 11. 20 o'clock came
from the No 6 sch ol building in the Third
waid. The fire was first d:scovered bv
John TJllmeyer.while walking down to his
home on Eleventh street. He immedi
ately ran to the Central engine house and
gave the alarm. The companies both
turned out in short order. No alarm was
turned in at the time, and tbe Centrals
were the only companies on the grounds.
They always carry 1,200 feet of hose on
the trucks, but this time it proved in
sufficient and it was ntcpesary for them
to return to the engiue n ousefor inoie
They finally got enough hose and started
three steams to pray upon the burning
buildtog.which was now a mass of flames
and smoke. Later the waterworks was
notified, and an alarm was blown, which
brought out the other companies, but it
as too late to do much for the building,
and it was almost totally destroyed.
The firemen who labored heroically to
save the building were thwarted in their
efforts by the pressure of the water mains
being insufficient to carry the stream
higher than the first floor, but they worked
long and faithfully and bad it not been
for the insufficient pressure they would
no d)ubt have succeeded in saving more
of tbe building.
When first discovered, tbe fire was un
cerneam tne iront stairway, and St is
thought the building was picked upon by
tbe fire fiend on account of the out of the
way location in which it is situated. It
U further known to be the work of an
incendiary by a boy who saw a bundle of
bay late in tbe evening near the front
door.
scnooi Duuaing .iMo. o located on
iweiitn street and Ninth avenue, was
popuitrly called the "Centennial build
ing. its construction having been com
menced in June, 1878, and it was finished
the following year. It originally cost
$10,000, which with later improvements,
furniture .etc., increased the valuation to
tli.000. There were at least 1600 worth
of books in the building. Tbe insurance
was $10,000, of which J. M. Bnford's
agency had $2,000 in the Home, $2,000
Hartford, and $1,000 in the Aetna; and
Purat & Donaldson $3,500 in tbe Spring
field and $2,500 in tbe North Ameri
can.
Miss Anna Kirk pat rick was principal
of the bnilding; there were six rooms
with a total enrollment of 295 pupils.
.. What will be done with the pupils
temporarily, is not yet known. The
building will be reconstructed, of ceurse.
and at once, if possible, no doubt. .This
morning Capt. Peetz offered tbe Daven
port homestead as a temporary school.
and the offer may be accepted.
Tbat the loss of tbe school building is
due to the work of incendiarism there is
no doubt-whatever, -and there is no little
anxiety in the city as to where tbe cow
ardly wretch will strike next. , The police
are putting forth their utmost exertions
to run him down, snd will to doubt
succeed if he continues bis outrageous
work. It Is ouly to be hoped
be will be caught before be causes
even greater destruction than the great
loss of last night.
About V o clock last evening a man
was discovered prowling about some
empty boxes in the rear of Krell & Math's
confectionery, but be disappeared before
the police could be noiifit d.
' An al'rm of fire from the Second ward
shortly before 6 o clock last evening
called tbe department to the residence of
Judge G. W.Pleasants on Second avtnue
where a fire bad caught between tbe
flooring and brick wall caused by a de
fective prate and fire place, which bad
iust been put in a few days ago. Chief
Ramskill was on the ground in good
season and allowed no hose to be taken
into the bouse as he saw immediately that
It could be handled better and with less
damage to property than by drenching
the bouse with a hose. Tbe floor was
torn np about the fire place and tbe flames
extinguished with but little damage to
tbe furnishings otherwise than the incon
venience it causes.
