prevents the water, which accumulates
there under their residences, from running
off. A sewer should have been run across
the street before the filling was done, but
even now it is not too late to put one down.
A little black dog, belonging, it was
said, to Mr.. Goldstine, yesterday morning
went through series of queer antics. He
had three attacks of fits within ten minutes
of each other, on Washington avenue, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets. He at
tracted quite a crowd Of spectators, young
and old. He trothed at the mouth and
had somewhat the appearance of madness.
Mr.. Fred Thomas ended the animals suf-
ferngs with three bullets.
Eighth street has been prepared to
receive its bed of rocks and gravel for some
time, and the river has been sufficiently
high for an entire week to admit of the
material being brought here, but as yet no
effort in that direction has been made.
The river will again fall in about week,
and unless the material is brought here
before the fall takes place the people who
do business on Eighth street and who are
anxious for the completion of the work
will have cause to rise in their wrath and
do without a graveled street for some time
as best they can.
Mr., Mike Cahill's little boy was cut
In the loin yesterday morning by a young
negro, The affair took place at the corner
OF Nineteenth street and Commercial ave-
nue.. The negro was sitting upon the side
walk eating watermelon, when the boy,
who was standing close behind him, shot
paper wad which struck him in the neck
The negro, without turning or looking
around to see who did it, struck around
with the knife he was using and cut the
little fellow IN the loin making quite an
ugly cash, which might have proved dan
gerous to the boys life.
The case of French Axley, for keep
ing gambling house came up before
Justice Olmsted yesterday, Mr.. Axley
swore that he had no connection with the
gambling portion of the business, but it
being proven that he exercised control
over the business and that the furniture
used for gambling purposes was his prop
erty, he was fined twenty-five dollars and
costs, He gave notice of an appeal The
nine gamblers caught in the house, or at
least some of them, will be tried to-day.
-"Between the Acrs" cigarettes, whole
sale and retail, at F. Korsmeyers.
The Comique band, last night, favored
Us with a serenade-playlng few Of its
choicest pieces Of music in the sweetest
manner. Under the able leadership of
Mr.. Al. Goss, the boys have developed into
musicians of no mean order. In fact, the
band is now one of which Cairo is proud
and as it discoursed one OF its patriotic
airs last night we were so enthused that
we could hardly resist the temptation of
mounting the bass drum and making the
boys red hot Hancock and English speech.
Thanks!
Health Officer Orr kept asteady lookout
for the steamer Raven night before last but
she did not make her appearance until day
break yesterday morning When she came
in sight the officer boarded the Montauk,
and, meeting her at the junction of the
rivers, boarded her aud instituted diligent
search. He found one ill man aboard who
was afflicted with disease nothing similar
to yellow fever, and who upon the boat
landing at our wharf, was taken to the hos
pital. When she touched the wharf she
was also examined by DR.. Gordon, who
pronounced her in tp-top sanitary condi-
ton.
The first Monday in October the fall
term of the public schools of Cairo will
commence. The teachers aud scholars
have had long, and we trust, an enjoy
able vacation and will doubtless begin
their duties anew with increased vigor and
a determined purpose to succeed. THE
BULLETIN takes special pride in our public
schools With an excellent superintendent
and competent teachers, we know of no
reason why our citizens should not feel that
their children will be well cared for. An
other thing we want to notice, and that Is,
the various buildings have undergone re-
pairs, and every effort has been put forward
to make the rooms pleasant.
We write this with the object OF in
forming our readers tina, there was some
weather yesterday. We are not in the
habit of doing this. We seldom speak OF
the weather, but we feel it our duty to
keep our readers thoroughly informed of
the most trivial and common things as well
