compliment to Miss May Hartman and Miss
Jennie Mckenzie, who are about to take
their departure from the city.
The concentrated essence of seventy
five tanks of crude petroleum must have
been brought to the vicinity Of the l,Clsh'
round house, yesterday afternoon, and let
loose upon the unofIcnding nostrlls OF the
habitues of that locality.
One Thomas Keneday, bcthinklng
himself to have a jolly time Of it before
the old year went out, got booming drunk
yesterday, and the Marshal put his grip
psls on him. Judge Bird applied two
dollar fine as plaster to the citys wounded
dignity, and Thomas being unable to pay
therefor, together with the accumulated OF
fetal pcrquisitcs, was sent sent over FOR i've
days.
Mr.. Taylor, to whose sickness we re.
ferred yesterday, died yesterday morning
about nine o'clock. He was q man OF
whom quite everybody spoke well. For
many years he had filed the position OF
head miller in the Cairo City mills, and his
employer bears willing testimony alike to
ms skill, industry and integrity We I'M
derstand that the funeral rites will be sol
cmnized to-day.
There was quite collision on the III
inois cntral, near Dongola, yesterday ovc-
ming. between freight train drawn by
engine 112, with Tom Catlett at the
trottc valve, and another freight, hitchcd
to engine III, with Mr. Rasbach in charge.
Both engines were thrown from the track {;
but nobody was hurt, and no serious injury
was sustained by the engines. Who is to
blame for the mishap has not been deter
mined.
The Egypt Lodge, No. 1867, of colored
Odd Fellows, holds a banquet and public
Inhalation of officers in Schccl's hall, this
evening. The colored people have won
considerable reputation for the smooth and
systematic manner in which they conduct
their installations. 1t is claimed for them
that they "lay their white brethren com
pletely in the shade" in that respect, but a.
the public is invited, everybody can attend
and judge for himself.
There is a vague rumor abroad that one
of our citizens, wishing to end his partici-
patton in the cares and fluctuations OF this
life, swallowed a two-ounce dose of laud'
mum. BY the prompt interference Of friend:
who seemed to have a greater care for lils
life than he, himself, had, and by the use o.
powerful antidotcs, he WAS saved. W,
should not have given place to this rumor
in the columns of The BULLETIN, but io
the fact which we soon discovered, that W.
would not, thereby, add greatly to its pub
licity in Cairo. We heard it in ali part
of the city.
While Frank Swoboda was in the sc
of putting revolver in his pistol poke
about o'clock, night before last, cart
ridge IN one of the chambers was b
some means exploded, sending the ba
blowing through the flesh Of his thigh, to
point about midway between the hip am
knee. The strangest part OF the affair
that Swoboda didn't know he was hurt VI
