Desperate affair at Cairo Five Nan shot by
NNgrN,


The ST. Louis Republican, Of the 30th uh.
contains the following account OF trasieai
affair at Cairo, which is procured rom an
eyewitness:
A negro named Joe Spencer. who kept an
eating house on board an old boat at Cairo,
had become very offensive to the citizens on
account of various msdemeanors he bad
lately committed. They at length deter
mined to have redress, and he was summon
ed by the authorities to answer charge
brought against him by Justice OF the
Peace. He went into court carrying reg
of gunpowder, having the hesd knocked
ont. under one arm, and loaded revolver
in his hand, and there declared that, i he
did not receive justice, ne would blow
them all up, and himself with them
Some OF the bystanders endeavored to take
the powder and pistol away from him, and
finding he would be overpowered, he ran
towards the boat, dropping the keg on the
wav.
lie went on board and began to utter the
most violent imprecation on the crowd who
had pursued him. They gave him half an
hour to leave the place and threatened, II
he did not comply, to burn the boat and al
that was in IT, He said that the property
was his and that he would stick to it TIL he
died. At length some of the crowd board,
ed the boat and began to take out the
fixtures. Spencer then began firing on
various persons who were thus engaged
and from the number OF shots fired, must
have had four or Eve pistols OF other IRE
arms.
The people became infuristed and the
bout was set on fire and cut loose from the
shore. The negro still continued firing o.
intervals and expressing his determlnatle'
with loud curses to stick by his properly
till he died, and asserting that they shou Il
not take him dead or alive. The flames
progressed and began to burn violently, dfi
wing the desperate from one part otthe boa
to another. He went to the bow with
double barre gun in his hands and took de-
liberate aim al some one on shore, but th'
gun missed FIRE: and then he disappeared II
to the cook house Of the boat. He reap
peared again in few moments with some
thing tied to his waist which looked to tht
people on shore Ike a stone lie, and witt
d loud yell Of defiance plunged into the nv
er. The eye witness says that he did no
rise to the serface and was seen no more
Five men were wounded by the shots
and one of them, we are informed, s.
dangerously that his recovery is very doubt
full.

administration will have work enough to
DO in the next two months. With Con-
s.i,u,ion sadly imperfect and needing re-

election Of U. s. Senator and Supreme
Judges; with State policy at war with the
intrests of the State to be changed, and
with q Praai1isory Liquor Lau to be enact
Cd, the Legislature win find two months too
short to attend to their legitimate work and
DO it scea. The present session is one of
no little importance. The eyes of the peo-
pie are upon the Legislature. They ex-

expectations from the in going administra-

ACCOUNT BALAXcED.-The report on
Tuesday that there was n run upon the
Ohio Life and Trust Company caused quite
a number Of small depositors to hurry down
to the bank for their funds which were paid
as promptly by the paying teller OF the in
stituton as the checks were presented. -
One OF the alarmists, on drawing his mon
ey, noticed that the receiving clerk was a
good deal more busy than the paying clerk,
taking in deposits and il occurred to him
that it would perhaps be safer for him to
continue depostor. He went back and
sgniied his intention TO the clerk, but was
new hat astonsh when the clerk told him
that his account with that concern was
closed, his bank book balanced, and they
declined doug any more business with him.
The disappointed depositor walked off in
just about the same dilemma as was. he
boy that drew the elephant in a raflle he
didn't know what to do with it. As yet the
run on that bank does not amount to much,
and we believe our community have every
confdenceSn its entire soivency.--Canctn-
