v SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL young man,
named David Bugh, nephew Of DIR. Dam
lei Mark, of the firm of Mark & Warren,

ing, to the drug house Of Messrs. Cloud &
Akin, and as he was passing towards the

or eight feet, striking on the side Of 3 box,
breaking two of his ribs, and receiving, 1t
is feared by his physician, serious inter-

scented as extremely accute last night
Young Bugh is from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and
has been for some time employed in the

Great care should be taken to secure hatch
ways in buildings where there Is not q
good light.

EVANSVILLE AND MT. VERNON TELE-
GRAPH LINE.-The poles for the telegraph
line from this city to Mt. Vernon are now
up from the latter place to within two
or three miles of this city, and this portion
of the work will probably be completed to-
day. The striDging of the wire will be
commenced Immediately, and the line
will be in working order within o period
ofsay three weeks. The line to Henderson
will also be pushed forward with all possi-
BILE energy. The poles of the Mt. Vernon
line will be used for some two miles and a
half for the wire 10 Henderson. and there
are about 100 poles of the latter line still
standing, 80. that this portion of the work
on this line will be light. The line will BIZ
Continued at an early day from Mt. Vernon
to Shawneatown, Illinois, and we hope to

which would give as ready communion

ford us three chances against the inter-
ruption from the frequent accidents that
occur on telegraph lines.

FIREs.-A temporary smoke house, inn
provised by Mr.. Hammersly, of the firm
OF Hammersly d SAMSON, erected adjoining
his house, took fire yesterday morning
and was totally destroyed. By timely
effort the fire was prevented from COM
municating with Mr.. Hammersly's resi-
dence. ti'
ANoTHER.-A fire was discovered yester-
day afternoon in the residence of Mr.
Harry Duncan, mail agent on one of the
Cairo packets. 1t had communicated from
a fiue to a wardrobe built in the parti-
ton, and before II was discovered had con-
sumed a considerable amount of female
clothing. and burned through the parti-
ton. The fire was extinguished by sam
Schwing and Milton Trfbble before further
damage was done, and without raising
any alarm. r8ssS2 ,a1n $3.50 4sa,.E
We had particulars of a very amusing
fire that occurred on Monday night; but it
was such q good joke on a very highly es-

The High School Lots and the City
Council.

Editors Jonrnal:f $r}8es tI 38 ~
learn with surprise that the School
Trustees hav purchased the lots on the
corner of Oak and Water Streets, designing
to build thereon a High School building.
L think the City Council acted wisely in
refusing to ratify their action hastily; and
now that the matter is postponed till the
next meeting of the Council / submit .
few points for its consideration, as wei as
taxpayers:
LIST. The High School should be centrally
located, and not, as in this case, at the e1
IRENE end of the city. There are not
twenty-five children living to the south
and west of the corner of Water and Oak
Streets. Is it thus selected merely to &C
commodate a few aristocratic families in
that vicinity? Should netthe convenfenes
of the thousands 10 the north and east, in
fact the whole cityf be rather nsnlteda 4
3D. Is not IS, 100 too large a sum 10 invest
In ia lcy property for such purpose, when
other lots, better located, can be obtained
at a mach less cost? While we are pressed
down with the weight of taxes this is a
Council.
I'D. Many parents n I'VE suggested that
the close proximity of the locality to the
river is serious objection, endangering
the lives of daring boys.
81 am decidedly of the opinion that the
faction of the chool Trustees in this mat
ter should not b. ratified by the Council, If
they consult the convenience of the large
mass OF the people and the pockets of
TAX PAYERS.

DEATH AMONG THE DoGs.-The people,
we are glad 10 learn, havevery generally
complied with the requirements of the City
Council, in reference to muzzling dogs. and
the work of the police officers has been
comparatively light. Spence Glazier has
killed fourteen dogs, and the other police
officers about as many. This is but small
fraction of the number of dogs in this city
which ought tohave been killed long ago.
By the way, we have Investigated the ru-
NOR that some of the police had shot dogs
SO carelessly that the balls had glanced
into the School room, and find that the
rumor is baseless. The police have used
no balls-nothing but turkey shot. If any
bullets penetrated any of the School rooms
they must have been. fired by some one
else. !. 4tLLlLLLl-- VI. lL--LA y - - ~

ANOTHER PIONEER GoNE.4We Announce
this morning under its appropriate head
the death. of Mr.. James ScanfIin, Sr-. who
was born in Louisville, in 1895, and emil
grated to this state from Lexington, KY,
In 1919, landing at this city and locating at
Princeton. in Gibson County, where he re-
sided until 1892, when he removed 10 this
city. in which he has resided ever since.
For the last twenty-two years he has suf
fered from a cancer which slowly but
surely and steadily ate away his face, until
at length It reached a vital part, terminal
ing his existence on last evening at the adj
vaneed age of seventy years. What he has
suffered during the last twenty-five years.
no human can imagine, with q yulture
more deadly than those, of Prometheus
gnawing at the most sensitive part of his
physical frame. He Is at last free from suf-
fering, and Is now, we trust, in a blissfui
home, where there. is no suffering and no
pain. He has, we are told, been faithful
and exemplary member of the Methodist
Episcopa Church for fifty-twoy years, and
died in the full triumph OF faith in a share
in the first resurrection. His last intelli-
gible words were, |" All Ii well" ~.

who entered his house on Friday night

got, also, a memorandum book and one or
two other small articles of little value, but

RECORDERS CoURT.-Upon our arrival
at the Council EChamber yesterday, 1--WE
sfoundzzit filed with an ANXIOUS crowd
eagerly listening to trial in which learn
ed counsel were engaged. 1t was a. case of
the State of Indiana VS.. August Byerstadt,
for disturbance of the peace in the Market,
House, and for striking VIM. File with a
four pound weight. From the testimony
of the witnesses we gathered the following
facts: On Saturday morning last, q man
named Helix was in the Market with a
yellow handled umbrella, and laid 1t
down on thestall of File. A few moments
afterwards, German woman and boy
came along, the boy carrying a yellow
handled umbrella. The woman talked to
File moment and then passed on, the
umbrella having passed into her hand.
Immediately Helix returned and inquired
for his umbrella. File told him a woman
had just taken it, and following her Snatch
ed 1t away from her and brought 1t back.
The woman returned crying, and her grief
attracted a crowd. One man testified:
saw her crying, and told her what she cry
ing for. She said some one had got her
umbrella Byerstadt was in the crowd,
and some words ensued between him and
File; hard names were called, such as we
never print in the JOURNAL. File, as the
evidence went to show, picked up four
pound weight and struck Byerstadt on the
head, cutting hole in his hat and another
in his head. Byerstadt picked up two
pound weight and struck File on the left
eye, knocking him down, The case was
tried before jury, and was hotly contest
ed by the learned counsel throughout.
Verdict: Not guilty, and the defendant
treated the jury at the first lager beer sa-,
loon beyond the Post Once. Our private
opinion, from the evidence, is that both
the parties, File and Byerstadt, should
have been fined about SIS for raising dis
turbance in public place, where women
and children were endangered. to ~
The next case was VIM. France, charged
with committing an assault and battery on
John Wood, colored boy. There was a
/" cloud of witnesses Indeed, three sew
eral . Clouds" in the shape of three negro
boys, who testified that France had come
along where Wood was standing, talking
to his9o mother, and without q word.
being spoken, struck him ON the side of
the head. France Acknowledged that he
had struck him, but said he thought 1t was
another negro whom he desired to knock
down, having had difficulty with him on
the boat. His Honor said as he was so anx-
lous to knock a negro down, he should
ine him IS and costs, the latter amounting
to 81 s.. France left in company with a
police officer to hunt mp the funds. France
il represented to US as one of the most
quiet and peaceable men that runs on the
river. But the luxury ofstriking man in
this city whether white or black, generally
costs something.
