JEALOUSY.
Nearly a Tragedy.

Yesterday morning lady about thirty
years Of age, called at Judge Birds Office
and stated to the judge that she wished
to have warrant issued for the arrest OF
lady well known in Cairo, the charg,
being an assault with intent to murder
A reporter OF this paper who was in the
magistrates Office at the time. became In.
terested In the case. and yesterday after.
noon called upon the lady who had the
warrant issued. and learned the following
facts in regard to the matter:
Ii seems for the past two nights lady
No. IS husband has been absent
from home. and from some cause.
unknown to lady No. l, lady No. has
got IL into her head that her husband was
at lady No. Is house, which made her
very angry, and she determined TO put an
end to the business At once. Accord
ingly, she procured revolver. went to
lady No. Is house, about six o'clock yes
terday morning while she was yetin bed.
went up stairs to her bedroom, knocked
at the door, was told to ''comc in,
which she did. and, before lady No.
had time TO ask why she was indebted TO
her for a call so early in the morning,
lady No. 2 brought the revolver from her
pocket, drew q bead on lady No. Is
heart, and said, smilingly: ''You -
I'll kill you, you've stolen my husband.
and I'm going to kill you" But, before
she had time to discharge the weapon, a
young man, who was in the house at the
time, succeeded in getting the revolver
away from lady No. 2, who, when she
saw she could not carry out her plan at
that time. became furious and exclaimed
IF don't kill you now, I'll do it If you
ever pass my house, After some strong
talk beside what Is quoted above. lady
No. = left the house, and lady No. got
up, went to Judge Birds Office, and, as
stated above, had warrant issued for the
arrest Of lady No. and placed 1t in the
hands of an officer. who went In search
Of her. but up to this time nothing has
been seen or heard of that exaSperated
parsonage. Lady No. | declared that she
had never even spoken to the husband.
that she would not know him II ,hc saw
him. and that she never saw iady No =
until she made her appearance before her
so unceremoniously yesterday morning.
The young man of whom we speak. de-
clared that lady No. had 1.-THE devil in
her eye" and that ifhe had not been there
to stop her, she would have done what
she so strongly vowed she had come to
do. The neighbors OF lady No. say
that she has lived at her present abode for
the past two months. that she Is
married, that her husband is alive and
well, and that If there was any reason for
such suspicious on the Hu''t OF lady No.
2, they could not have failed TO have
learned them, but that tl.cy I'VE never
seen nor heard anything ti.,.. would lead
them to believe that lady No. and lady
No. rs husband were on intimate terms,
but all of them are quite ready and will
ing to vouch for her good conduct, and
say that they believe her TO be very
quiet and good lady. Lady No. l has
been, during her sojourn in this city, an
invalid, and has, according to her own
story, made the acquaintance of but very
few persons.

Geod Time Comiax.

At late meeting Of the Delta Fire
Company, the members, after considera-
BILE discussion, decided to give ball.
They have for some time contemplated a
demonstration of this kind, but wishing
to make it complete success, thought it
best not to make the attempt until they had
everything in proper order. The ball
given by this company, two years ago on
the steamer Great Republic, was the larg-
est Of the kind ever given In Cairo, and
they will endeavor to make this one
equally as grand an affair as that, in every
particular. A committee has been APP
pointed to confer with the captain of the
Great Republic, for the purpose of char
tering her for their ball this year, but
whether they have succeeded or not, we
have not yet learned.
