The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1876-07-22

Vincennes works are also holders OF
stock in the Cairo City Gas company.
Among the distinguished visitors in
Cairo yesterday were Captain James and
John Howard, Of Jacksonville. Indiana.
These gentlemen are probably the most
famous steamboat builders in the United
States. Their yards are at Jacksonville,
and from them have came the mammoth
and celebrated cotton carrier James
Howard, which boat was named Ia honor
OF Captain James Howard, one of the
gentlemen referred to above. The Robt.
+. Lee. now receiving the finishing
touches at our wharf, was also built by
the Towards, and promises to be the
fastest steamer that ever piled the
Western waters. We understand that
| they are here for the purpose of inspect
| ing the Lee after she has been completed
and hSs received her furniture. The
boat is expected TO be ready for work
| within few days.
In yesterdays BULLETIN We married
our young friend Mr.. will Pitcher to a
young lady named Miss Reese, whose
home. we were under the Impression,
was in Huntsville, Ala. We were
"called" OH by the respected parent OF
MI. Pitcher yesterday, who gave us the
information that his son had not been
married, and that the lady whom he did
not marry, was not a resident of Hunts
vile, but of Montgomery. He enlightened
us further. His son is not in the employ Of
the Mississippi Central railroad, but &C.
cupies the position OF agent for the
Adams and Southern express companies
at Columbus. From this. we take il, we
were slightly mixed (but to mix things
is not unusual fo' us). and hasten to cor.
rect our mistake. Mr.. Pitcher, however,
will be married on Tuesday. The name
of his brde-to-b DC is Miss Reese. whom We
have been assured, since our 'interview'
with the father, is beautiful, accom-
plished and wealthy lady, and if William
didn't or don't marry her, then he will
make mistake.
We publish denial by Mr.. ID. Axtell
division superintendent OF the st. Louis
Iron Mountain and Southern railway
company, Cairo division. of the report
that confidence men are plying theiI
avocation Oh that road. We reported
what a hotel keeper told us. and willingl,
give place TO the denial OF Mr.. Axtell
We have been informed by all officer o.
Alexander county that the confidence
men haye all been driven of Mr.. Axtell'!
road, and are now at work on the Mis-
sissippi Central in Ballard county. L
the officers Of that county would give {
little attention to this matter, they nigh
run the rascals off the Central. i
is said that one, il not more, Of these
!. confidence operators lives in Cairo, ant
one Of them 1--WE are niormed) has threat
ened to do violence TO the timid young
man who writes the local columns OF thi
paper, if the timid young man neg
lects to not let him and his pards alone
When next we get point on him, w
intend 10 give his name in full; and l
then ne makes row about ii, we viii
take some trouble to break his jaw bone
r He is too vulnerable 70 make man,
threats. and if he continues maxim.
them will be called upon to make III
threats good or show the white feather
We're little, but good Lord when W
get after fellow like this conildenc
G rascal we are terrible-almost an arm,
with banners. You hear me, now" q
