The City.

The large stock of elegant
dry goods with which Burger
filled his now storc-room a
few weeks ago, have been
nearly all sold, the people
having been unable to resist
buying at the nnprccedcnt.
cdly low prices for which
they were offered. Burger
is now filling their places
with a still finer and more
beautiful assortment of goods
absolutely the cheapest and
best stock in the city, The
finest cashmeres, satins, en-
press cloths, alapacas, mo.
hairs, etc, etc, are offered
at the very lowest prices.
Burgers shawls eclipse any
now sold in Cairo, both for
beauty and cheapness and
his furs, nubias, scarfs ETC.,
are also cheaper than the
cheapest. He has a full line
Of kid gloves in all colors,
kid gauntlets, and childrcn's
WOODEN gloves i'll every style.
A large lot of mcrino under
wear for ladies and children
is being sold at fabulously
low prices, and a large lot
of table linen, napkins, tow
els, sheeting, muslins, ETC.,
etc. In short, if anybody
wants anything, at any price,
in the line of dry goods, or
notions of any sort, he or
she will be certein to find it
at Burgers and just as cer-
tain to be suited in price as
vol az kind or quality.

apparent change in the engineers strike
10 u general quoting down. The engin-
eors held u very large meeting to-day but
nothing il known OF their proceedings.
They present tho same determined front
and claim that they arc bound to win. Tho
roads effected by tho strike, seem TO find
engineers enough to get along with most
of their trains and claim that they will
run ali their trains esularly If not inter-
fered with. There has been marked de-
crease in the number Of strikers about the
Union depot to-day, aud trains arrive and
depart without the excitement of the last
few days.
Warren Hussey, President OF the First
National Bank of Salt Lake City, Utah,
to-day filed in the superior court a libel
SUI. for Slo0, 900 damages against the In
dianapolis journal Company. The
journal, of this city, libelled him rs fol-
lows: "Mr. Warren Hussey, President
OF tho First National Bank ut Salt Lake
City, Utah, issued q manifesto asserting
the solvency of that institution. A man
of that name was arrested and tried here
In 1856 or 1857 on q charge Of counter
feiting and en- bozzlement, in the manage
ment OF wild cat concern in
pa~"a county. Ne .-~s .hss~dly
defended in tho case by Robert Walpole,
slice deceased, and escaped by technical
ity from going to the ponitentiary. This
may not DO the same man, but the iden-
tity Of names in such cases ia very re-
markable, especially when it happens to
be so uncommon man as that of Warren
Hussey." All Of which Warren Hussey
denies in toto, asserting that no such thing
happened in Boone or any other county
in this state, and that by reason of such
publication his reputation as a business
man has been generally deranged.
