tamable I.y easy roads; the modest little yallejs to
be decked wltti Ilower-phits and shade trees, ami
among them winding rootpatli. and even drives;
the sharp corners to be rounded oir with marble
fountains, from which the pure water should leap
and sparkle so temptingly a to provoke thirst, and
the natural niches ln the hill sides to be occupied by
graceful statuary; the shining, placid river to be
traversed by gaudy pleasure boats, and lined with
handsome landings; the slopes of the hills to
be divided oir into open lawns atid
nhady retreats. In short, tho picture, us
drawn in the liigli colors of rumor a year or so ai?o,
wa truly fascinating, unit from It the people might
have had reason for expecting, within a few years,
theirs to be the most elegant and attractive park in
the country. These dreams might, have been now
partially realized had t'lty Councils given the com
missioners their hearty co-operation, and may yet
tie performed if the city government will awake to
the full Importance of the subject. Tor, though
Borne of the members of the commission may not
take the interest ln the matter entrusted to th u
that the public is entitled to expect, yet there are
others who are active, and who desire and know ho .v
to effect that which Is requisite in the premises IT
they are properly supported. With the limited
means at their disposal, the commissioners have set
themselves to work, and so far have given tiie c r.n
inunlty no well-founded ca'tse of complaint.
Among the recent and m.ist prominent, features
added by them Is the delightful road op ;:ie l an 1
dedicated only a few days ao, and then known .n
the Vlata Drive. This Is a new thoroughfare, en
tirely on the west side or the liver, which creeps
along the bank a short distance, then readies
ever the gentle hills and glides through lovely
vales, alternately In glades and open fields; It Is
Wide and even; along its course are distribute I
fountains for the lerreslimout of mm and horse,
and stiles for the conveuieuca of alighting ami re
mounting; and for Hummer me for it is not yet
complete it is a most charming addition. A great
portion of it passes over the Imdsdowne estate, for
which reason Its name has lately been changed from
the "Vista" to the "Landsdowne Drive."
This beuutiful piece of land was several years ago
bnuirht chean at Kheriirs alo by Beveial piiblic-
epirited gentlemen, who generously let the city have
It for what thev paid for it, themselves making no
other gain than the gratitlcattou of believing that
they had done a good deed, for which the gratitude
Of the community Is due them. Just below Uelmont
avenue a branch from the main drive is made, lead
big to Belmont Cottage (.fudge I'eters' mansion), and
at George's Hill is another branch leading to the
aanie point. From the Junction of these branches
an extension is to be made to the romantic spot
called C'hamounlx, which extension Is to bo ten feet
wider than the present drive. This Improve
ment is, or when completed will be, tho most
pleasing that has yet been attempted; but it has
attaching to it the objection that is applicable to
most of the attractions west of the river, vl.., that it
can be enjoyed only by those who can afford the
expense of horse and carriage, whMe the poor mau
Bees nothing of the wondrous beauties that are dis
covered by it, unless he pays for the privilege tho
labor of a long and fatiguing walk over Its course.
The means of remedying this defect should con
stantly occupy the minds of the commissioners, until
they have devised something satisfactory. As yet no
active measure has been taken In regard to this, but
a suggestion has been made which at least Bhows
that the objection is evident to others. The President
of the Heading Kailroad Company, whose road rung
through some of the choicest sections of the park,
has oll'ered, If allowed by the commissioners, to build
neat stations at short distances from each other
within the boundaries, and to send special parte
trains to these localities three or four times a day,
using a slow and safe rate of speed, and charging
passengers very moderate fares. Horse cars
would perhaps be preferable to steam trains,
and an adoption of the wagonette of Central Park
might not be a futile experiment; ln fact, tho two
combined, if owned and properly managed by the
commission, wonld ln all probability defray the
entire expense of keeping tho park ln good repair.
Kven ln the discussion of park mat ters the much
abused and still impertinent vvuioclpede Intrudes lt
self. Tuk Kvemnu Tki.eukaph first called attention
to the trouble and annoyance the bicycles caused to
riders and pedestrians by darting violently or stag
gering tipslly against every one, and consequently
the commissioners have issued an edict prohibiting
their introduction within tho enclosure. Dogs with
out muzzles or chains are included in this order.
Music, under the eillclent leadership of Dr. William
T. Cuunlngton, has been secured at the expense of
the commission, and every Wednesday and Satur
day afternoon we are treated to the most popular
and select airs, rendered in the best style. The Doc
tor's band is not large, but it is composed of those
who thoroughly understand their business, and,
from the character of the melodies and the scrupu
lous correctness with which they ate performed, it
cannot be doubted that they tend to cultivate and
refine the general taste for music. The music
etand Is near the mansion, in the midst
of a group of noble forest trees and imme
diately around It five hundred settees, which
were recently procured, have been distributed.
It was rumored at the opening of the season
that certain private gentlemen would engage
an orchestra for park service, and that Seve
ral railway companies would combine to do
the same, so that there would be music nearly
every day ; but both projects now appear to have
been abandoned. At different points along the edge
of the West Park are to be gates of entrance, where
begin elegant drives to the centre or to the east
aide. These are now designated by painted signs,
apprising the observer that they are only temporary.
The permanent gates are to bo of iron railing, sus
pended from stone pillars, and these latter sur
mounted by pieces of statuary ; which will be a step
la the right direction.
These various entrances will be known as the
Xantua, Landsdowne, George's, Montgomery, Hel
mont, and Kidgeland gates.
A special Park Guard has been organized, clothed
In a Hew and showy uniform, and quartered in the
old Hialto House (which was Included in the appro
priation), and so far they have conducted them
selves In the most satisfactory manner.
Thus have been noted the prlucipal event of our
park that have occurred of late, and, comparatively
speaking, the work of improvement has progressed
right well, certainly better than ever before. When
we recollect only a year back, we now find the availa
ble parts more Bpaclous and beautiful ; and If the samo
energy continues a few years longer, the public will
Boon find themselves possessed of a very elegant
fiark. But they will never be satisfied with that;
hey demand a magnificent park, second to none
Other ln America. The New York Central Park
Is but fourteen years old, and fourteen mil
lions have been spent upon its adornment.
Our park is nearly fifty years old. and our
Mnnl know that. With the tieauties nature
las lavished upon It, had seven mil
lions been wisely spent upon It, we
should have the honor Instead of onr neighbors
over the way; and they feel confident that, though
th New York durllnir Is forty years behind and
thirteen millions ahead of ours, with an expendi
ture half of the amount of theirs and an enterprising
management fully up to the standard, we win nave
the roval grounds for our own pleasure and the edi
fication of our visitors, and the New Yorker's praise
of Central Park will be changed to Jealous dispa

From the Davenport (Tova) Gazette, July 1.
'Yesterday wsg day of tremendons excitement
ln Mollne. The employes of the Chicago, Itock
Island end rnciflc Kailroad Company determined to
lay an additional track along Illinois street, in 'Old
Town' and the people determined that the traik
should tint be pat down and it wasn't. The lacta
are briefly as follows:
"Veers ago, when the corporate limit of Mollne
Included but eight blocks, tho railroad company
secured the right of way through Illinois street for a
single track, as the people of Mollne claim, but pur
chased land for as mtich right o' way as they pleated
t n the east and west end of the town. A few weeks
ago the ooninnny attempted to lay a second track
f h rough tild Town,' but the people desiring that tho
Itockford, Hock Island, and St. Louis Kailroad Com
pany stun id also have a track through the street,

"I.sst Friday evening tho Ttoard of Trustees
granted the Kockford Company the right of war for

a large force of men, with ties and Iron, and pro

Hoard, Mr. ihirnnrd, and Street Commissioner, Mr.

almost en masse. As many as live hundred
men were soon collected around tho track

laid, and bore part of it to tho company's land.

"Oulct did not reign long, however, for at 11
o'clock Trainmaster Dye again appeared with his

the ground was level.
"Again the lire bell rang, and again the citizens

HORRIBLE.
An Tnmrr .lrnnlrress n Aged iHntlier Killed
li lic-r lnuKlitei- lu New l orK Yesterday.
From the y, Y, World of this morning.
At s-ito o'clock last evening a horrible murder
oocuried In the Ninth ward, the particulars of
wnu n, as near as count no ascertained, are as rot
lows: For about eight years past Mrs. Rosanna
Dean, the wife of (icorge IJ. Dean, residing at No.
842 West Thirteenth street, has been allllctod with
occasional ills oi aberration or minn, wiilcn at cer
tain periods attained to a serious degree and threat
ened dangerous results. On one or two occasions
she had exhibited symptoms of a suicidal intent,
once speaking of her deliberation about using an old
razor she had found, and which, of course, was
promptly removed from her possession.
Latterly her mental condition has been such that
physicians counselled the family to use the greatest
caution, as the disease was liable to assume a more
demonstrative form, the only safety in which caso
was her removal to an insane retreat. At all times,
however, she has been perfectly under the control or
her eldest daughter, to whose persuasions she would
yield passive obedience. Like others In this de
mented condition, she was subject to moods of de
spondency and freaks of strange rancor. This latter
feeling was directed especially towards her husband's
mother, Mrs. Susan Lameraux, a quiet, inoffensive
lady, of about seventy years of oge. Iu her strange
hallucination Mrs. Dean imagined that Mrs. Lame
raux exercised an undue control over Mr. Dean, and
was influencing him to divert his property from the
benefit of his wife and children to her own coutrol.
For the past few days Mrs. Dean's conduct mani
fested a more critical development of her malady,
which caused a more strict surveillance to be kept
npon her movements.
Yesterday morning her appearance was somewhat
more calm, and induced some relaxation in the
anxious watch kept on her. At 9 o'clock she slipped
out unobserved by any of her family, and was absent
for 6oine hours. I'pon her return, on being ques
tioned by her daughter as to where she had been,
she retorted augt ily, "It's none of your business!"
Afterwards she began to wash out some clothing,
but after dabbling a while ln the water, left the task
as a child would tire of and abandon a toy. During
the afttrnoon she manifested a nervous listlessuess.
Last Light, at the hour before named, she was missed
from the circle but a moment, and hardly had her
absence been noted before she reappeared, and said
to a Mr. Davis, who was present, "Come up stairs,
and see what I have done." Accompanied by tho
daughter, he followed her. (She ran nimbly up tlio
stairs to the ihlrd-slory back room, which was occu
pied by the murdered woman. The gas was turned
low, and every object was indistinct. On entering,
MlFSDean almost stumbled over the fostrate form
of the old lady.
Light revealed the fact that a horrible tragedy had
bven cnucted. Mra. Lameraux had been killed by
her niaiiiao daughter-in-law. Eight gasheB were
visible upon the neck, shoulders, and left breast,
caused, doubtless, by the blood-stalm-d hatchet that
was lying on the floor nearby. Probably the first
blow broke the peck and caused death. The pulBe
brat but a few times after the deed was discovered.
It was evident, from the position of the body, that
the aged victim had composed herself to sleep upon
the si i fa, and the insane (laughter had swiftly darted
in aud dealt the fatal blows. Immediately the alarm
whs given, and Curtain Washburn, with his
otllcers, were quickly upon the scene, and the
crazed perpetrator of the bloody deed, with
her family, were accompanied to the sta
tion house. As she came in, a glimpse at her
features revealed the lineaments of much mental
distress, but no expression of consciousness as to her
dreadful action. Khe is about forty-five years of age,
rather tall, spare, and of a matronly presence. Judge.
Dodge, ho was In the station, remarked that ho
had known of the family several years. Mr. Dean Is
the proprietor of a largo truck business, and la well
known in the ward as a most estimable citizen. He
was absent from the house at the time of the affair,
and w ith the other members of the family, Is plunged
Into the most profound grief at this unfortunate
calamity which has thus nuddenly and unforeseen
come upon them. Last night Captain Washburn
made evorv provision for the comfort of Mrs. Dean
and her friends that kindness and courtesy could
suggest. How the hatchet was procured and the
tragio deed so swiftly committed without the know
ledge of any of the family is a mystery.
A Ilrave Hon.
Daniel I'pton, formerly a member of the Michigan
I (.uiHihtnre, recently attempted to cross Illack Lake,
Mich., which Is haif a mile across, in a leaky boat,
when it went to pieces, leaving him and his
vtiuigest sou to get HShore tho best way they could.
The latter succeeded, but his father, becoming
exhHUfcted, began to sink. Eddie Upton, his
.ldest son, saw all their movemeuts from the
house, w hich is closo to the shore, and, running
down to the beach, shouted to his father to
keep up good courage and he would save him. He
quickly threw off his boots and outer clothing, and
swimming out to where the old gentleman was
struggling in the water, caught him just as he was
going down the third time. Clinging to his father
with an iron grip, he turned upon his back and swam
In tills inuiiner to the Bhore, and, upon reaching it.

excitement. Mr. Upton laid to oil appearance dead,
