"A few days ago we chroniced the fact
that certain rufian, named Dillon, who
for some time had made Cairo his home,
had robbed man between Cairo and
Mound City and had beaten his victim into
insensbilty and laid him on the Cairo and
Vincennes track so that train might run
over him. Dillon made his way to Padu.
cab and the following, from the Paducah
News, explains the rest: "Ohlcer Schuckers
ordered his arrest, having an idea that Dill
lan's victim, stranger in Cairo, was still
in the place, but on finding him gone had
to order the rascals release. Dillon has
left this place fearing as he told Mr..
Geary yerterday when released, that the
Cairo fellows might change their notion"
A number of German ladies have de-
cided to give ball and supper at Turner
hall tomorrow night for the benefit OF
Mr.. Jno, Hagey, who, it will be remem.
bered, cut his leg very severely and
has suffered for number of months, his
life being at one time despared of. The
object is noble one and the means
employed to gain it are certain
ly unobjechonable. Good music will be
furnished free of change by Mr. Elsenbergs
string band, and a sumptuous supper will
be spread by the ladies at the usual hour.
Everybody should contribute to the cause
even though they do not attend, But it is
to be hoped that there will be very large
attendance for the satisfaction of the ladies,
who have been so untiring in their efforts to
make the affair attractive and remunerativc.
The Peoria city fathers held recep-
ton a few evenings since. The ladies came
in, numbering about half dozen, headed
by Mrs, lIibben, president Of the Illinois
W, {. I. L.. and accompanied by gentle
men identified with the temperance cause
Mrs. Hibben was speaker for the party, and
addressed a powerful plea to the council
accompanied by a petition. The lady
asked fOra discussion of the local option
question, and prayed that the city council
might appoint time when the people
could bring the matter before them. She
asked, IN the tenor Of the petition, that the
question Of license or no license be sub
mitted to the people al the coming spring
election. and that the women Of Peoria be
permitted to vote at that election, And the
city fathers politely laid the petition on the
table.
A bold robbery occurred at about s 80
o'clock last night at the residence Of Mr..
Barney Crane, on Washington avenue, a
few doors from the corner of Twelfth
street, the robber securing one hundred
and fifteen dollars. Entrance was
gained to the house through a
trap door opening into the kitchen
from under the house, while Mrs Crane was
out marketing. The robber ransacked the
house and finding one hundred dollars in a
trunk and fifteen dollars in a box, on the
bureau, pocketed the money and made his
escape out of the house by the back way,
at the time Mrs. Crane entered by the
front door The box on the
bureau contained several dollars
in silver which the resca did not dis
turb, Since no particular person is sus-
pcctcd it will be difficult matter to bring
the robbcr TO justice.
