poarocu Ny the entire party, VINO returned
to the city on her. At noon, Captain Gould
had spread for his guests most delicious
dinner Of which the entire party partook.
There is nothing that we can say, that has
not already been said of the w. p. Halli-
day. She is all that steamboatman can
desire, being mammoth freight carrier,
and spacious comfortable and beautiful
passenger boat. During the afternoon and
night not less than thousand people paid
their respects to Captain Gould and his
boat. Last night reception was held on
board, large number of the intimate
friends of Captain Halliday being present
No one can think af the fiendish and
cold-blooded attempt to wreck the outgo-
ing passenger train, Friday night, without
shudder. There was an unusual number
of passengers on board, including number
Of ladies and gentlemen from our own city
When, little after midnight, the train
came in sight of Cache bridge, dad" Low.
EFT, the engineer in charge, saw small
light on the bridge which he mstook for a
lantern; but upon nearing the object he dis
covered, just in time to bring his train to a
halt on the very brink of the bridge, that
some villain had endeavored to fire the
cross-beams, and failing in that, had placed
a lot of timber on the track, expecting and
intending to wreck the train. But for the
careful lookout kept by the
engineer, the aim of the Internal devil who
placed the obstruction upon the track
would have been accomplished train
precipitated from the bridge and score OF
more of lives lost. For the monsters who
are proven guilty of such diabolical work
human ingenuity has devised no mode Of
torture that is sufficiently severe. The
axes and saws and harrows and glowing
brick kilns Of the Jewish David, all a
once, would not meet the demands of the
occasion.
T AT the recent meeting Of the Tax
| payers ASSOCIATION, while the sanitary con
, dition of the city was under discussion, Mr.
+ Il. Fitzgerald introduced the tollowin!
resolutions which were unanimously adopt
. ed: Resolved that the City Council be anC
r is hereby earnestly urged to proceed a
4 once to the work of putting the city in tn
t best possible sanitary condition, and prose
c cute said work with a view of completin!
the same before the advent of hot weather
= which usually commences about the 18th o
e May; and resolved, further, that, an activ
f and efficient Health officer should be EN-
, ployed charged with the duty Of super
S vising the work, and to see to il that all tn
5 streets and alley ways, ponds and fill
: holes yards privies, out-houses, and othe
, places where filth may abound, b.
thoroughly cleansed, and, If necessary, dis
infected; and that he also see to it that tn,
graves from which the bodies of tn,
yellow fever dead were removed, be refill
, ed" These resolutions suggest the Who'll,
present duty Of the City Councili but her,
the question arises, will that body act upor
theml We shall see. Mr.. Fitzgerali'
resolution was followed by motion b,
Col. Wood, which every friend Of Cairo vii
regard with favor. 1t was to the effect fol
lowing; That the Executive committee
Of the association, now composed of Col
Taylor, r, W, Miller, Z. W. Green, +. Bros,
and r. Fitzgerald invite from five to ten q
the leading citizens Of each ward to nee
them, ut any convenient time, for the pur
pose OF canvassing the propriety Of organ
lzng Sanitary society to cooperate Will
the City Council in case Of necessity, II
protecting the city from any epidemic
that may threaten it, etc, and t
decide, generally, as to the best means t.
be employed to meet present necessities a.
well as those that may arise in
, the future. This suggestion met the
t hearty concurrence Of every one Of
the forty or fifty gentlemen present
and there is probability at least, that i,
|, will be acted upon. Certain it is that 0
movement Of this character would have an
assuring effect upon the people, and in the
event Of sickness in the South, do more ia
1 inspire confidence and quiet alarm than
, any other agency that could be employed
. And, in any event, nobody can object ia
, acIcanly city, should we never have anoth.
