Sheriff Irwin went over on Sunday to in
vcstigate the affair. II proved to be
plain muss between two WORTHLESS In whicl
nobody was burt.
II Meyers old house was purchased b,
John Schecl, and has been pulled dowr
and entirely cleared away ready for th
workmen on the new building, which viii
be an ornament to the levee. The leve,
story will have an iron front, and be fin
ished IN fine style for tobacco store
Meyers knows how TO put up houses, ant
will put the new building through in dou
BILE quick order.
John Jackson, q negro, has been in
the habit, lately, of taking comfortable
seat on boxes Of chickens left on the levee
at night from which he managed to ex.
tract hens, which he would sell low fol
cash. On Saturday nigh: lie was caught
in the act, and yesterday was bound over
TO the circuit court for trial.
--Chas. II. Evans, Washington avenue
between Eighth and Ninth streets, has on
hand a splendid stock of family grocer
rles Of all kinds, which he is selling at the
lowest prices. lie is determined to be
not unjersod, and challenges COMPARE
son of the quality Of his goods with any
house in the city. If
MIR. Timothy Coyle, formerly of Cal
70, has fitted up the Central House at
villa Ridge and is now prepared to ac-
commodate the public with 6rst-class en-
tertainmenst. This fact is called to the at
tention of the Cairo people, who will al
ways receive from Mr.. Coyle hearty
welcome and be furnished with the best of
everything his house affords. The Gen.
trail House is next door to the Hudson
House, west of the station.
Green Moss under orders from Sheriff
Irwin, yesterday arrested David Victor,
charged with the murder Of man in
Stoddard county, Missouri. The arrest
was made in this county, near Ullin. Moss
and an assistsnt came suddenly upon the
desperado and compelled him to surrender
his arms-two six shooters. Sheriff Irwin
left with his prisoner this morning on the
steamer Illinois for Bloomfield, Missouri,
where he will be handed over TO the au-
thorities Of Stoddard county.
William Alba's barber 81 op is grow
ing in public favor every day. 1t is neat
ly fitted up, and can boast Of the most
skilliul workmen in the city. The pro-
prietor has had many years experience in
his business and is recognized as one Of the
most expert shavers in Southern Illinois,
while young Alba is master in his pro-
fession. Citizens and strangers who wish
a painless shave, luxurious shampooing,
or their hair cut in the latest style should
patronize Alba. His shop is on CONNER
cial avenue next door to lannon's news
depot. DIFF
Judge Green is the member of the
state democratic central committee from
This congressional district and will, we !
hope, attend the session Of the committee
to be held in Springfield on the Sd inst. |
He knows that Egypt is heartily in favor
Of the "new departure" and should be
| present at the meeting of the committee
to give expression to the sentiments % his
constituents in this regard. He should,
and we believe will, speak with no doubt
ful voice. The Egyptian democracy will
no longer tolerate the policy Of doing bat
tie on the issues of the past.
The mayor and city attorney assert
that the mayor, under the ordinances has
no right TO suspend a police constable, no
matter how inefficient or dishonest he may
be. They claim that the power was taken
from the mayor by an ordinance passed |
during ex-Mayor Wilson's term repeating
an ordinance approved by ex-Mayor
Oberly This position is untenable. The
authority to suspend has never been re-
Pealed and is explicit. Section 80 of the
codited ordinances provides that "for any |
of duty he 1.-THE mayor1 may |
suspend any police constable or jailor from |
ofiee until the next meeting thereafter of !
the city council, and appoint another in
his stead; and If such suspension is con-
frmed, the pay of such officer shall cease
from the time of such suspension"
We have concluded to not report the |
game of base ball played yesterday between
the Delta club of this city, and the Trim
bles, of Psducah. We could find nothing
in the game that was interesting. The re-
suit was, to be candid, wet blanket. 1t
crushed out all our base ball enthusiasm.
1t gave us profound disgust for the game.
1t taught US that there is many slip be-
lwixt the cup and the lip. 1t demonstrat-
ed, TO our entire satisfaction, the truth of |!
The adage, that none should boast like the |
warrior who puts of his armor or the
baller who lays aside his bat. 1t was, in |
short, crusher. We believed before yes |
terday that base ball was humbug, and
now we know tits. We are willing to ac-
knowledge the corn. We are sure base
ball is not the forte of our Cairo boys.
We know whereof we speak when VIC say
with the preacher, "All is vanity" and
base ball "A yeSatiOn of tha spir;, W. nxo
