The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-07-29

| ter CAM be de'ef'''ino'' i1'NA0 was
subjected to a fine--and as she declared
that Clay's woman had fallen afoul of her,
"and scuse me gentlemen, tore off all my
clothes 'ceptin my corset and linen" she
was sufficiently punished for one day, at all
events. Sallic was discharged.
We saw good-looking white woman
promenading the streets yesterday, and were
told that she had come to Cairo from Padu-
cab. She was trim built, bad an elastic
step, and dressed in good taste
About ten steps ahead Of this woman
was negro man, rough and uncouth, black
as leland this fellow was the woman's
husband. She lives in Cairo now, but she
cultivated her taste in Paducah.
Doctors Rauch and REILLY, Johnson, the
Mayor and Aldermen Halliday and Smith,
and perhaps Others, made trip to Island
No. I, yesterday, on the tug Ariadne, the
object being to select q location for the
State Hospital barge, which it is proposed to
moor in that locality, for the accommodation
of such yellow fever victims as may be
found on board the steamboats,. The barge
will, we hear, be placed under the special
charge of DR., Reilly, of Chicago.
Thomas Mahoney was brought before
Squire Comings, yesterday, to answer a
charge of excessive exhileration. The
charge was made good, and Thomas was
fined one dollar. If rumors are we'll
grounded the defendant in this case will
soon come into possession of $1,000 or
$4,000 of arreargc bounty. In that event
he must exhilerate cautiously, unless he
prefers that some rascally dead-beat shall
have the satisfaction of spending his money.
"A negro woman, named Emma Greg
DRY, living on Fifteenth street, called on the
overseer Of the poor Sunday, for pauper
coffin for the body of her dead child The
child, about eighteen months old, died Sat
urday morning, after an illness Of month
or more. After obtaining the coffin, another
trouble presented itself She had no money
with which to pay for the chlld's burial
and her colored friends refused to respond
to her appeals. After lapse of two oil
days parties enlisted for the labor, and put
the body under the ground.
On Sunday afternoon Nineteenth street
from Poplar to Commercial, might, with
entire propriety have been called the nasty
thoroughfare." 1t was literally covered
with potato Feelings, coffee grounds, rot
ten tomatoes water melon and cantelopc
rinds corn husks, cobs, straw and trash
generally, the length of the entire block.
Three tourths of this trash. it is safe to say
were tumbled into the streets that the city S
scavengers, the hogs, might tatten on it.
Hence, it seems, that to provide the "scaven.
gers is to insure them an abundance of
work to do.
Certain interests opposed to the ex-
pcnditure Of any more money on the Ches-
ter penitentary, have enjoined the payment
of the $4,000 appropriated by the last
General Assembly for the construction of
additional buildings. 1t is not expected,
Of course that such an injunction will be
made permanent; but the parties hostile to
the expenditure, hope to be able to keep up
litigation until the meeting of the next
General Assembly, when they will renew
their efforts to effect an aban-
donment of the Chester peniten-
tiary project altogether In that aim, also,
they are doomed to defeat.
Twenty new cases and nine deaths is
the report OF the epidemcs work in Mem.
phis for the twcnty-four hours ending Sun
day evening; but still the authorities there
refuse to declare the disease epidemic.
With as many as $50 citizens under treat
ment, with from ten to thirty new cases
developing and from five to ten deaths oc-
curing every day, the people everywhere
have the same cause to dread the terrible
scourge that they would have had 1t been
declared epidemic from the start 1t is the
same terrible, rclentlcs visitor, that brought
death and fright and desolation last year,
and if we would keep it at bay our vigil
ancc must be unccasing. Sporadic or cpl
demic, We want none Of il,
Running at large or in pens, dead or
alive, little or big, hogs In a city, are, col
lcctycly and individually, a nuisance,
They hunt out the cess-pools and sink
holes, and by wallowing therein make the
foul smells do full duty. Filth hidden
away under the surface is turned up to the
action Of the sun, and the hog that can't
coat himself two inches thick in some kind
