The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-12-16

Every once in while, in fact when
capitalists visit this city, the report gains
circulation that they are here for the pur'
pose of taking look at the rolling stock,
etc, of the Cairo and Vincennes railroad
with the intention Of buying that road,
Such was the rumor we heard yesterday ON
our streets, caused by the presence of New
York capitalists in this city. We traced
the rumor to the bottom and found il I'M
| founded.
The Du Quon Tribune says that lit
looks as if the Illinois Central railroad
company was trying to bulldozc couple
of Du Quoih's mines into furnishing it
coal at starvation rates or else cut off the
trade entirely by refusing the mines cars
for their own trade. There may be two
sides to thsquestion, but to a man up tree
and unpreudiced, it looks rs if the Central
company cared very little for other enter
prises just so its own affairs proittcd by it,
If the company have not got the cars, all
right, but il it has plenty of cars for other
mines, we can't see the excuse for squce2-
ing the Enterprise and Star, two as good
mines as are in the prairie.
A good house greeted Bailey's cGc
brated Dramatic Company at the Athe-
neum last night and still larger house Is
quite certain to greet it this evening, when
will be presented the Man of Mystery.
The entertainment was one Of the best ever
witnessed in Caro- and everybody left the
building more than peased-dclighted.
The entire company more than fulfilled cX.
pcctations. There were no awkward
bitches, but everything passed oft as
it could have done had everybody in his
respective sphere, been a star. The COM
pany will make its second and lastappe0r-
ance tonight in glorious bill-The Man
of Mystery-and crowded house will GER
tainly be there to see.
