the proceeding would have no legal effect,
as the Coroner had not gone beyond the
limits of the county. The friends of the
deceased being anxious, however, that the
body should be examined before removal
rather insisted upon the inquest being held,
holding that defects could be cured by flu
ture action; and with that understanding
the Squire proceeded to the inquiry.
-Carmi has sensation. On Tuesday
| last man named Brown armed with
shot gun, entered field wherein an old
negro man named Grant, was at work.
Brown accused Grant Of circulating ugly
stories about his Wife. Grant denied il,
and resuming his work, told Brown to 60
| about his business. Unseen by Grant
Brown approached to within few feet,
leveled his gun, and poured its contents
into the old mans body. The wounded
man ran few steps, fell to the ground and
died in three or four minutes.
The picnic at Commercial Point on
Wednesday, called out a very respectable
crowd, and everybody present confesses
that he or she had jolly good time of it,
But the individual who ran the beer de-
partment is disguised beyond expression.
1t was not beer drinking crowd, and
from the sixty or seventy gallons provided,
he didn't sell enough to pay for the glasses.
From his standpoint, therefore, the picnic
was a failure. Wen venture the predc-
ton that the man who dispensed the edi-
bles has no complaint of failure to urge
The Metropolis Journal of this week
says that John II. Oberly, now editor of
the State Register, is an astute politician"
etc. 1t seems utterly impossible to dis
connect Mr.. Oberly and the Register Our
contemporaries WILL have him, in spite of
the many contradictions sent out, editor
and part owner of the Register. 1t is per-
haps useless to do so, but inlthe interest of
truth We repeat that Mr. Oberly has no
connection with the Register as editor or
otherwise. He is entirely out of the news
paper business, and gives his entire time to
the duties of his Office.
w. j. Yost, ESQ., of Metropolis, but
known to quite all of our Cairo citizens,
has suffered as few men have suffered and
survived He has been sick nearly five
months, Of that most loathsome and painful
of all diseases, the dropsy. Early In May
last he commences swelling and IN two
days was near to bursting, The waterio found
points of issue in different parts of the body.
and in about three weeks he became reduc-
ed to his natural proportions. His legs are
still terribly swollen and exceedingly pain
full. He has not walked step since the
9th day of May last, and he has not been
able to lie down since the first of March
last-a period Of five months. In private
note to the writer, he bears most grateful
testmonyto the untiring care and constant
devotion of his good wife.
We have been repeatedly importuned
to denounce the killing of Charles D. AFTER,
as the atrocious crime that the law and pu-
bic opinion hold it to be. Were our whole
mind and soul given up to feelings of hate
and desire for vengeance, we could scarce
ly wish to add word to the testimony
already before the public. 1t tells in plain
and unmistakable terms that Hogan was
not smarting under the sense of any fresh
wrong, Had this been so, he would have
killed his VICTIM when, on entering the
saloon, he met him face to face. 1t furth- |
er tells that he had deliberately determined
to give AFTER no chance for explanation, no
chance to defend himself, no chance for his
life. To carry out this purpose, the evil
dence shows that he waited in the saloon
until the only man who was likely to stay
his arm, had passed to the street: that
then he quietly approached AFTER
from behind, and sped the deadly missile
upon its murderous work before his victim
even became conscious of his presence.
That cowardice suggested assassination as
the means of Kidding the world of Charley
After, is not true. The imputation of
cowardce will not lie against John Hogan.
He has shown GOODNESS and courage in too
many desperate straits to be subjected to
the accusation of cowardce now. He had
simply predetermined to take Artcr's life,
to give him no chance forescape or defence.
How faithfully that determination was car.
ried out the public has been informed.
