Those of our citizens who desire to
hear some really fine singing should not
tail to attend the services in st. Patrick s
church at 8 o'clock this forenoon. The
singing promises to be the finest heard in
that edifce for some time, and will be a
treat to all who attend, Those who con-
stitute the choir are Mrs. j. Coleman, Miss
Mile O'Callahan and Miss Mary Towers,
sopranos; Miss B. O'Laughlin, alto;
Messrs. W. c. Mulkey and T. J. OLaugh'
lin, tenors; and Edward Dezonia and Prof.
Kearney, bass. The last named gentleman
is the Preseason of East Cape Glrardeau
seminary and has the reputation of being
one of the finest bass singers in the state.
The levee luminary is somewhat exer-
cised over the fact that resolution was
adopted by the BOOSTERS at their last meet
ing which declares that no member of the
club shall report any Of its proceedings to
a republican paper, under penalty of ex-
pulsion. The Sun magnifes molehill
into mountain when it says that it hopes
by some hook or crook to get hold of q
copy of the resolution in order that it
may publish it. We have been supplied
with copy of the the resolution by one Of
the members and give publicity to it for
the special benefit Of the Sun. Here it is;
Resolved, that any member who shall re-
port any of the proceedings of this club to
Republican paper shall be expelled on
majority vote of the members present"
We regret 10 hear that Mr., A, II,
Irwin met with quite serious accident day
before yesterday while at East Cape Girar-
deau. He was on horseback and was riding
along leasurly without paying much atten-
ton to the road when his horse was mlred.
An attempt to induce the animal TO
proceed was futile and Mr., Irwin
saw himself compelled to get out of
the saddle and gained the solid land as best
he could. He had succeeded in drawing
one foot out of the stlrrup and scrambliug
from the animals back, but had the other
foot still in the stirrup, when the horse be-
gan sudden aud violent struggle for lib
erty. He succeeded in extricatiug himself
from his awkward position and
making for solid ground as fast as possible
ran at full speed dragging Nj Irwin after
him By one foo. for abou. one hundred
yards. Mr.. Irwin was picked up and taken,
to the nearest building where medical at
tention was given him. He was found to
have received some very ugly bruises none
Of them liable to prove very seriou: how
ever He was brought home as soon as
possible where be now is in the best Of care.

ago an unknown person pulled the throttle

the city at lightning speed and continued
on her way Until her steam was exhausted.
It was suspected that certain ey-employe
Of the road was the guilty party and
search was made 10 discover his where
abouts, but not being able to find him the
search was discontinued and the matter
has since beea almost forgotten. A few
days ago, however, news was conveyed to
this city that the guilty man, Billy viii
