Blueberries at Ri.sley'e, Mrs. Emma Anderson wa3 before the commisioners of insanity this afternoon for examination as to her mental It was decided to eend her to Mt.

Pleasant for treatment. Surprise nutmeg melons at Wiley's. Bert Cunningham, the well-known twirler who hails from Mohne, will don a Pittsburgh uniform next year, having been purchased from the Sioux City team by the Smoky City manage ment. Cunningham at one time was one of the luminaries of the national league, but for several year3 past ha3 been twirling in minor associations. His star is once more evidentally in the ascendant.

Muscatine watermelons at Wiley's. The canvass for the new city directory being prepared by 11. T. Stone has been completed and the work is now being prepared for publication.

Grapes and peaches by the basket at Kerker's. Boyd Gray, a colored boot black who is going from New York to San Francisco on his wheel, passed through Davenport yesterday accompanied by Robert Miller, a white boy, who is on his way to his home at Omaha. Gray claims to be making the trip for the purpose of earning $800 to pay off a mortgage on his father's home. He carries the implements of his trade, and each town. passed by him, he polishes tbe shoes of the mayor and chief of police, whose autographs he takes as proof that he has visited the place.

Gold Fish Market, 124 W. Front St. between Brady and Main. Fresh fish, can always be obtained at this market. Col.

R. L. Leonard, commanding the First Regiment, Illinois Sons of Veterans, has issued a general order stating that the regiment will leave Chicago Saturday evening, August 14, to go inu camp of instruction at this city. The tram will leave Chicago at 10 o'clock on that night, and will arriye here early the following morning. The cost of the encampment of the members of the command will be 16.50 each, including railroad fare, and the indications are that it will be fully represented.

M. J. Adams, dentist, over Schlegel's drug store. The grinders' strike ha3 resulted in a shut down of the Moline Plow works until the opening of the fall trade. The suspension was decided upon by the management, it" is believed, to avert a threatened general strike.

The closing of the plant at this time is quite a blow to Moline, as it throws out of employment about 67o workmen whose weekly wages aggregated $4,000. During the suspension the usual repairs in the plant will be made, and the works prepared for next year's operation. If you want nice grapes, Risley has them. Ottumwa is making elaborate arrangements for the celebration of Labor Day, Sppt. 4, and invitations have been extended to a number of promi nent people to discuss the issues of the day on that oceassion.

Among those who have been asked to deliver addresses are Mayor Vollmer, Carter Harrison, of the Chicago Times, President Avlesworth of J) rake College, Des Moines, and Ex-Senator Dodge, of Burlington. An effort was also made to secure E. V. Debs, but he writes- that it will be impossible for him to be present. Nice large cabbage at Risley's.

J. Frank Jersey, of this city, has accepted the management of -the Ottumwa Opera House and proposes to give the amusement lover3 of that city a high grade of attractions. Mr. Jersey has been with Ringling circus the past season, having charge of the programme department. He severed his connection with the show at Buffalo, N.

in order to make arrangements for the opening of the season at Ottumwa, for which place ha left to-day after a short visit with his family here. It 13 the intention of Mr. Jersey to remove his family to Ottumwa for residence. Nice eating apples at Wiley's. A new phase has been added to the Ray Elliott case.

A special from Marengo states that T. i). Burk, of Marion, Ohio, who -laini3 to have had the possession of the boy identified as Ray Elliott from December, 1892, until within a few weeks of the time he was recovered at Waterloo, was arrested at the former place yesterday afternoon on the charge of abduction. It is said that other arrests are to follow. Burk arrived at Marengo yesterday pre sumably to take steps to again secure possession of the boy.

The conflicting claims make the case a very strange one. but the Marengo people are firm in their opinion that th boy is Rav Elliott and it is not likely that Jie will be given to the Burk s. Finest vegetables of all kinds can be had at Risley's. Articles of incorporation of tha German Trust Company were filed at the county recorder's office to-day. The authorized cipitil of the new institution is to be $100,000, divided into shares of $100 each.

Tbe company is composed of soma of the substantial men of the city, and will do a general financ'al business on a large seile. The directors until the first regular election are H. H. Andresen, F. H.

It was rumored around town to-day that a pleasure party composed of several welbknown gentlemen of thi3 city and their ladies had a practical illu.3' tiation efsmn that tha rive? ia at BURGLARS' CACHE.

A Workman Finds Three Watches and Two Chains filler a Sidewalk Where They Had Evidently It en Hidden by Some Ilonne-Iireaker. nYesterdav while Peter Fnese, a laborer in the employ of the city, was working on Fifteenth street, between Rtpley and Scott, be found three watche3 and two chains under a side walk in that vicinty. One of the chronometers wa3 a la dies gold watch, and bears the trade mark of 11. Jlontanden, a Switzerland watch manutacturer. The two others were gentlemen's timepieces, one being silver and the other apparently a gold filled case, with open face.

One of the chains was appareatly gold ana the other coated with a gold wash. From their appearance it is likely t'jat they had been hidden there for sev eral years, and the theory of tbe police is that they had been secreted under the walk by John Faust wha was sent to Anamosa a little over two years ago for a burglary on the hill. He was convicted for" the theft of one watch, but at the time it was supposed that ha had planted a portion of his stealings somewhere. He admitted a3 much to Sheriff Jones on the way to Anamosa, and the probability is that the watches were stolen by him and secreted under the walk where found. The chronometers are now at the station, but owing to the length of time they were under the 6ide-walk their value has been materially dimm ished.

The underwriters of Chicago have commenced a campaign against the high lumbar piles in that city, and it is quite probable that the height will be limited' by ordinance, the insurance men having such measures in prepara tion. The recent extensive fires in the lumber district in that city demonstra ted clearly the danger to property from this source, and the underwriters- are not slow to profit by the lesson. It is proposed to make the maximum height of lumber piles twenty-five feet, and it 13 probable that the measure will be favorably considered by the council. The same question is also attracting considerable attention in Minneapolis, and the agitation promises to spread to other cities. The matter might also be considered with profit Davenport, where some of the lumber piles, not ably on east Front streeet, tower up ward to a height that is a constant menace to the property in that section.

If an ordinance, limiting the height of lumber piles to twenty-five feet, be demanded as a measure or public safe ty in other cities, it would seem as if it would also be a desirable innovation Davenport. TAKING A LAY-OFF. J. U. rreslen to Continue With tbe Bock Island Koad.

Several davs ago it was announced that J. II. Preston, for years road- master of the Iowa division of the Rock Island, had resigned that position, which carried with it the supposition that he would also retire from the ser vice of the road. The supposition appears to be incorrect, as will be seen by the following. rather complimentary extract from the Des Moines Capitat: ti.

I'reston, who ha3 just re signed the roadmastership of the Iowa division of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, has net quit the service of the companv, though he has preferred to unload soma of the responsibilities 01 his position and some of the work. Mr. Preston has tiken a thirty-days' lay-cff and is veal giddy. He has been in the employ of tha company thirty tight years and is still on the pay roll and will probably be there until Gabriel blows his horn. Mr.

Preston ii one of tha most faithful, capable and industrious men that th Hock Island company hat-Sever employed. He has made tha company's interest bis own. lie has been reaay to get up in the Dight and wade through mud and water waist deep if to help serve tbe Rock Island.

Walcott, Aug. 10. Yesterday was unquestionably the hotest of the season. The mercury rose to 104 in the shade onj the north side of Bannewitz store. It was a hard dayon the corn.

Irjjthe evening a very strong wind blew up which carried the dust in clouds and made it not only unpleasant for driving, but impossible to see approaching teams a rod ahead of one. Fritz Martens and family moved to their new residence in the south part of town to-day. Their new home is a very pleasant one. Mr. Charles Fromme, who keeps the meat market at the old' stand, received a shipment of provisions last evening from uavecport.

There they remained until tne remrn or a volunteer with a boat from a neighboring island in van irh ha was comnelled tn swim. The marooned pleasure-seekers were then conveyed to the shore, and later firriacraa were secured to brinrr them -to the city, where they arrived at a much later hour than oaa been their original intention. Nice lipe Mufcatine watermelons, at Risley's.

A vnnncr fallow, who crave his name as George Buffer, went into the jew- eiry store or. itaser oon in liocK Island yesterday for the purpose of selling a gold nugget. One of the members of the firm, suspecting that i I i. -11 l. every ining was nou an nm, muiouj left the store and 1 notified Marshal Sexton.

Detective Wafer, of this city, who was in Rock Island to attend the preliminary hearing of Charles Cole, who was arrested in Davenport for complicity in burglaries across the river was detailed to arrest Buffer, which he did. The latter has the appearance of a man who had "just been realeased from confinement and it is Knrnnsftd hat ha stole the crold. A dentist's office in Muscatine was robbed a short time Kince, and it is thought that the gold may have been' taken from there. Buffer willJje held bend ing further investigation. Muskmelons at Risley's.

William Warran. a liffht-fingered colored man, was an enforced guest at the fetation last night, ana is HKeiy to nnntinna a boarder at the expense of tha county for sometime to come. Yesterday Warren appropriated a watch and revolver at his boarding house, and put them up for an insignificent sum at Jones pawn snop in hock island. The revolver wa3 owned by flftorcfft Parrv and the watch bv John Williams, both boarders at the same hostelry; and when they found their valuables missing thev were inclined to the opinion that they had disappear! with Warren. Thev reported tbe thelt to the ponce station, ana ueieciive Jansen was soon on the trail of Warren.

The latter was arrested in Rock Island and brought to this side and locked at the station. The stolen articles were found at the pawn shop named and recovered. Warren will be given a hearing to morrow morning. Choice nutmeg mellons at The Fair. THE RIVER.

Probabllty That the Low-Water Mark Will be Touched To-morrow. The river this morning was only one tenth of a foot above low-water mark, and it is expected that by to-morrow it 1 PP 1 even mis Sllgut uuierenms win uuvo disappeared. I he conditions are not such as to bring any balm to the heart of the rivermen, for 'the continued dry weather gives no hope of any cessation in the downward movement. A he only noint on the upper river on which a rise was noted thi3 morning was at St Paul, where the advance was twortenths of a foot. At Red Wing the stage is three-tenths below the low-water mark and at Reed's Landing two-tenths.

The low stage of water has practically suspended rafting operations and the steamers engaged in towing are going to the banks. The steamer, Fred Weyerhauser, brought down a raft for tha Weyer hauser Denkmann mill in this city this morning, and will now tie up i the season. It is stated that the raft received to-day, together with the logs on hand, will be sufficient to Keep the mill in operation for about a week after which it will shut down. The mills operated by this firm in Rock Isl and have enough log3 to last about two weeks. The indications are that; the low water will compel an early sus pension of all the mills in tbisvicinity.

The Des Moines team was given an other drubbing by the R5ck Islands yesterday in the concluding contest of the series, which gave tbe locals three out of bsTf oar games.

Both sides touched up the twirlers rather freely, but tbe locals were more fortunate in bunching their hits, which, with brill iant fielding, clinched the victory. In the sixth inning McMackin, who was in the box for the visitors, was struck by a hot liner knocked out by Lynch, lie recovered sufficiently to throw the batter out at first base, but afterwards he became groggy and collapsed. He was compelled to retire, and the remainder of the game was wa3 pitched by McVicker. The following summary tells the story: Rock 0 2 4 2 8 0 2 013 JUes 0020021 28 Earned runs lioek Islands 1.

A NEW TACK. The Bock Island Road Secures a Temporary Injunction Restraining Sloline From Putting the New Grade Otdi- nance Into Effect. The Rock Island road has begun proceedings in the United States cnurt at Peoria to secure an injunction against the city authorities of 'Molfne, whom it seek3 to restrain from carrying into effect the provisions of an ordinance fixing the grades of streets. The bill of complaint is a very lengthy one and declares the ordinance to be unreasonable; oppressive and unjust. It also asks that an ordinance for the improvement of a portion of Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth passed Feb.

26, 1894, and an ordinance for the improvement of Eighteenth street from Third avenue to Fourth avenue, passed Feb. 26, 1894, and each and every part thereof may be declared unreasonable, oppressive and unjust a3 to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, and void asto it; that a preliminary writ of in- i unction may issue restraining and for-adding the City of Moline from further proceeding to carry into execution the improvements of the two last named ordinances, so far as tbe Chicago, Rock Island Pacific is affected by them, or from enforcing against it the ordinance of Jan. 16, 1893, and from cutting down or lowering or depressing the road bed or tracks or until the comptainant's appeal shall have been decided and the question of the validity of the ordinances shall have been decided, or until the city fchall first have caused damages to Le ascertained and paid.
