THE yellow fever barge arrived at on

and alter receiving vi pooA" "iS supply ="
mattresses, furniture and fixtures, left
about II o'clock for its moorings at the
head of No. I. We are very sure that the
projectors OF the hospital scheme join us in
the wish that the hospital may never have
patient
In order to raise money to supply
medicines and other necessaries, Mr.. Will
liam Naughton, who for several months
has been a consumptive, has put his fine
gold watch into the hands of Mr.. James
Grecney, to be disposed of by rattle as soon
as the chances are taken. Mr.. N. is de-
serving man and his friends should not for
get him.
Phil Saup invested two dollars and a
half in dog, the other day; but before the
dog returned ten cents in the way of SER
vice, somebody stole him. AS Phil already
| has as much invested in the animal as he Is
thought to be worth, it will be quite use
less for anybody to keep him hidden away
in expectation of big reward. 1t will not
be forthcoming.
Milton Wilson took position on the
corner of Eigth and Washington, Sunday
night, and whistled so long, loud and
piercingly, that Officer Duncker construed
the whistle into cloud and unusual noises"
AS Squire Robinson could scarcely agree
that the noise amounted to violation of
the ordinances for the preservation of pub
lie peace and quiet he ordered Milton to go
acquit. And so it happened that Milton
didn't pay dearly for his whistle"
George Goldsmith, of Villa Ridge
was in Cairo, yesterday, with load of ap-
pies and sweet potatoes. George is thor
oughly grangerized-bronzed and hardy.
He has quite outlived the setback he re-
ceived year or two ago, through the de-
struction of his dwelling house, by fire.
He has built another house, quite as good
as the one destroyed, and sees the way new
to a comfortable living. He has got right
| down to hard work.
About 10 o'clock Sunday night
Isham Harris knocked at the door of his
woman's domicile, Oh Twentieth street, and
demanded admission. The woman retls-
ing to open the house, Isham demanded to
know what he clothed her for, and becsm-
ing boisterous, officers Wins and Tyler ar
rested him, and escorted HIM to the clla-
boose The respectable residenters OF hat
locality complain increasingly of the mis-
conduct of certain colored people who in
fest the rookeries on the north side of
Twentieth, between Poplar and CONNER
cial.
While the government force, Mt work
on the Mississippi banks on the vest side
of the city, were putting large mattress,
in place for sinking, on Saturday evening
last, it in some way caught the
full force of the current, broke
loose from its fastenings, and foated
off down the river. We have been told that
the labor involved in the construction of
the mattress cost over two thousand dol
lars; but this is probably INCARCERATION.
1t was monster mattress, however, and its |
loss cuts into our limited appropriation to
the amount of its cost, whatever THAI may
be.
john Sullivan and William Wallace
(the latter being well known to number
of our citizens) engaged in a shooting af
fair in East st. LOUIS, Sunday morning,
during which Sullivan was shot through the
heart and died in a few minutes. Wallace
commenced the shooting without anyap-
parent necessity, firing seven shots at S4li-
van from AZ calibre Bulldog elf.cocter
and a SO Colts revolver. Sullivan fired
four shots from a Bulldog pistol Of Ike
caliber The presence of her husbands
corpse at her door, gave Mrs. Sullivan the
first Inclination of the bloody tragedy. The
affair is said to be chargcable to the out
breaking Of an old feud. \
Ella Davis has a key that fits the door
to Ella Johnson's dwelling house, and, rs
Ella j. alleges, uses it during her absence,
TO Mrs. DIS account Ella openly charges
the abstraction Of sundry articles of house

pleased Ella j., and repairing to the office
OF Squire Comings, yesterday, she instituted
suit against Mrs. d. for abusive language"
Mrs d. appeared, and knowing enough law
to know that nobody could be punished
twice for the same offence, plead in bar that
she had already answered the complaint
lodged by Mrs. J., and was, Of course, dis,
