Mayor Winter, who was taken sick
the day after the late fire, was much bet
ter yesterday and it was expected would
be able to be about to-day. During the
fire. at which the mayor worked very
hard, he was struck Oh the head by
piece of falling timber, and received Sc
we're cut just over the left temple. 1t is
believed his illness resulted from tins
wound.
The largest stock Of silver, and sill
yer plated ware ever brought to Cairo is
to be found at L. & w. Buder's, corner
Washington and Eighth street. 1t.
At quarter to nine o'clock last night
the residence of Alderman T. w. Halli-
day, between Twenty-Sixth and Twenty
Eighth streets was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was promptly given, and
the several fire companies quickly on
hand, but owing to the scarcity Of water
they were unable to check the fire, and in
less than two hours the building was in
ashes. Most Of the furniture was remov-
ed but in broken and damaged condl.
ton. The house was one of the best In,
the city and worth perhaps $4,000. 1t was
insured, but for what amount we do not
know.
Henry McEvoy, one of the par
ties implicated in the shooting of the
man "Wild Cat, " at the corner OF Fourth
street and Commercial avenue in the
early part of last week, was before Judge
Bross yesterday for preliminary exam
ination. "Wild Cat" is still confined to
his bed and not able to leave it, and con-
sequenty could not appear at the
trial. The ease was continued to
the 9th inst, when it is believed "Wild
Cat" will be able to put in an appearance.
McEvoy was held under bond of five
hundred dollars for his appearance at the
date above stated. He could not give
bond and went to jail. He is charged
with having given the pistol to the man
who did the shooting.
