REVOLVING MURDER.

We received yesterday, the details connect
ed with double murder which took place on
the line of the Iron Mountain railroad, about
four weeks ago The murder was committed
at that point on the road nearest Cape Girar-
deau, and the victims were a Mr.. Kelly and
his wife, who recently lived in the fourth
ward Of this city. 1t appears that Mrs. Kelly
and neighboring woman named Mrs. Fitz-
gerald, quarreled about table fork. Words
ran high and the women separated in fever
Transportation. The same evening Fitzger-
aid provided himself with a revolver, and re-
pairing to the shanty Of Kelly, shot him
dead in his tracks at the first fire. Mrs.
Kelly thcreupon seized a stick of stove wood
and dealt Fitzgerald blow on the shoulders.
Kelly aimed at her head, but the muzzlc OF
the pistol was knocked downward, and the
ball took effect in the woman's leg. Seeing
that she did not fall, and having no further
charges in his revolver, the tiend seized the
woman by the throat, and with the butt OF
his weapon dashed out her brains. He then
Immediately fed the country, and Is believed
now to be in Memphis.
A few days after this bloody occurrence
sister of Mrs. Kelly paid the neighborhood
promised visit, and found only the new-made
graves of her sister and brother-in-law. She
at once returned to Cairo and from here went
10 Columbus where, detailing the occurrence
to her landlord, she was informed that the
murderer had been his guest the night previ-
Gus, and had that very morning left for
Memphis For cold-blooded hendishness this
bloody affair stands almost unparalleled.

The cases before his honor, "old Dick, for
trial this morning, didn't amount to much.
A white woman named Lizzie Palmer had
been drunk She was very penient, it was
her frs. ofensc, and should be her last. The
squire believing in the sincerity of her protes-
tations, permitted her to go acquit.
Bill Green was charged with public indie
cency and the carrying Of concealed weapons.
Neither charge was proven. Accused dis
missed.
VIM. Fay and james Reynolds had been
taken to the calaboose the nigh; previous very
drunk. Their appearance was almost piiable
ragged, ha,less, shivering quivering crea-
lures, penniless and on the verge Of delirium
tremens-the squire discharged them with an
admonition to go and sin no more.
Anderson McGaw, negro, smaeked his
bunch of fives against the person of Madison
Lee, and threatened to dress of the said Mad

imposed, which Anderson promised to pay, in
part, tomorrow morning.
At this point the court arose TO talk election

"THE COLuNBus.CIIRO.BLA InBgO.
tIIn'

One 4. j. Wordcn, Of Blandvillc, intlicts
upon the readers Of the Times two column
communication, the excuse for which is found
in his desire to bring our prsteHsiors to legal
learning into disrepute. We shall dispose Of
all his verbose platitudes with very short
shriit, chiefly by saying that Mr.. Worden at
tributes TO Us opinions and expressions that
we neither held not employed on the occa-
sion TO which he refers, nor before that time
or since.
There was not sober, sensible man in
hearing who does not rccolloct that we dis
tiuctly and rather empha,ically told Mr..
Wordon that IL Mcrrick stole the horse in
Kentucky and brought it 10 Cairo, and was
here found in ;hc possession of the animal,
the larceny was completed in Illinois, and
warrant iJr the guilty party, arrest could be
sued out before any justice Of the peace. We
also told him that II he could identify the
money Merrick had fraudulcn,ly obtained
from him, an action would certainly lie where
the property wa found. We ventured these
suggestions in all kindness TO Mr.. w, seeing
tina, he was y cripple and hearing him protes:
that thr accused had 500 Of his money in
his pocket But blinded by passion, or some
los cxcu.able cause Cor blindness, Mr.. w. We
hemently protested that we had not stated
tho law; that he didn't care d-n who we
were, he'd "bc; hundred dollars il was not
the law'-and, going home, he writes windy
communication in yindication Of our position
and to the confusion of his own.
There was no earthly reason Why Merrick
might not have boon brought to punishment
unlc's it rested Ia the superior knowledge a.
sumcd 10y Mr.. W, who insisted the case was
hopeless unless the prisoner was seat back to
Kentucky. The accused might have been
brought 10 uccoun; here, w'ere the stolen
property was found; or he might have been
carried back 90 Kentucky under tho law re-
iating to fugitiycs from justice, In either
case the citizens Of Cairo would have extended
generous aid. NJ. Il. II.

THr CAIRO CASINOS MASQUERADE BALL.

The two hundred persons who participated
in the masquerade ball given by the CAIRO
Casino in Scheels hall last night, have fixed
another s.green spot" on memory that, will
prove as enduring as life The ball was, by
all odds, the most harmonious and agreeable
one of the kind ever held in Cairo. The large
hall was densely thronged with ladies and
gentlemen in character and fantastic costume
that furnished an impenetrablc disguise, al
though pleasing, chaste and ingenious. Much
of the costume was provided through the skill
and excellent taste of the wearers, and con-
tributed not little to the show and merri-
rnent of the occasion. The affair was truly
festive, gay and refreshing, and was prolonged
until
oThe clouds. first born Of the frosty morn,
In their eastern circuits roanedi'
when. full of the ball and its varied and ex-
hilerating features, the participants partook
themselves homeward. The music, which
was by Cramers band, and the refreshments
by "mine host" were of the best and most
enjoyable.
The management deserve the highest
praise for their unhagging efforts to make the
occasion lust what it was-an honor to the
Cairo Casino, and an affair long to be remem-
bered by all who participated.
The Cairo Casino, for whose benefit this
ball was given, is benevolent institution
that embraces many of our best, wealthiest,
and most influential German citizens. Any
city would have felt proud Of the material
that entered into the procession yesterday.
1t was nothing less than half a hundred or
more of well-to-do, active and prominent bus
mess men, and public spirited citizens. The
Casino is a society that deserves to prosper,
and since it has directed attention TO ITSELF il
will take broad hold upon the confidence
and respect of the public.

pleasant, although the morning wa. quite
cold. At daylight the mercury indicated

Here the river has fallen eight inches since

the same rate.
