"A small machine shop has been estab-
lished in the round house of the Illinois
Central Railroad company at this point,
and now all repairs of not too much con-
sequence, will be done at this end Of the
road. Formerly if an engine sustained
the slightest injury, it had to be sent to
Centralia for repairs. This is now changed.
"A small patch of walk in front of Mr.
Charley Newlans place OF business, on
Commercial avenue, is sadly in need of
somebody's attention. There is no side
walk Of any kind on that
particular spot, and persons going
along there must be unusually muscular in
the lower extremlties in order to pull
through the mud.
1t is really tact that q number Of our
prominent citizens are already casting their
eyes on the city's furniture--longing the
while for an opportunity of warming the
same. Like Barkis they are "willing" and
would not object to being welded to Of
fetal life, but their friends are not yet
urging them to announce with sufficient
earnestness to justify them in taking the
step.
The Hibernian Fire company celebrat-
ed the election and immigration of their new
officers by a ball in their elegant hall, on
the corner of Thirteenth street and Wash
ington avenue, last night. A good crowd
gathered there to take part in the festiv-
tiles, which we're, as might have been ex-
pected, heartily enjoyed by all. Music,
dancing, etc, formed the greater part OF the
nights pastime.
Yesterday the president of the United
States was elected. Under the present sys-
TEN the electors perform that business
not the people. They met at the capitals of
their respective states and cast their votes;
a copy of the states vote, certified, will be
deposited at the capital, copy will be sent
to the president of the senate by mail, and
a messenger will be sent with another copy
to deliver it in person to the president Of
the senate, for which service he gets twenty
five cents a mile.
How it occurred we know not, and beg
Thousand pardons for the omission. We're
fer to the omission Of the names of Messrs.
Robt. and Will Smyth from our yester-
days "Smith article" Without these
names the article was incomplete and .he
humor indifferent, but we feel especially
grieved over the omission since Mr.. Will
Smyth feels considerably sighted thereby
and has withdrawn the patronage OF his
house from THE BULLETIN Office on ac-
count of 1t. This being so, need we say
that we feel like lying down and dying as
did Lady Dedlock, at the gate Of buried
hopel
The Woman's Club and Library AS
sociaton held their regular meeting yes
terday afternoon in the Library room. Mrs.
P. A. Taylor, the president, being absent,
Mrs. Hudson filed the chair. After the
regular business of the association was
transacted, the literary exercises were
opened by an original paper from Mrs. II.
H. Candee, in which she gave glowing
account of the Eighth Congress of Women
recently held in Boston. This sketch was
brimful of the sayings and doings Of the
army of grand and noble women who met
in that session, and many interesting points
were touched upon which contained food
tor the mind, and work for every whole
souled woman. After the paper was read,
one or two points were taken up aud dis
cusscd, one of which was "that 1t is the
duty of every true mother to visit our
schools and see that our children have
proper teaching, and interest themselves in
whatever tends to advance the public
school system" The women Of the public
library have accomplished noble work in
Cairo and we trust they may be encour-
aged in every way possible by our citizens.
