The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-12-16

was yesterday arraigned Def re Judge Ohm,
sted, but took a change Of venue to the su.
preme court, where she was acquitted. Al.
ter the trial, evidently believing that she had
been prosecuted, she swore out warrants for
the arrest Of several officers and in her at.
tempt TO sustain her charges against them
promises that she will a tale unfold which
will open the eyes Of the community to some
startling facts.
Another good and jolly crowd Of our
citizens turned out last night in attendance
upon the fair and festival given by the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, at
their hall on Tenth street. 1t was their
second and also their best night, for many
who were not present the night
before were on hand. There was
no tagging in the energy Of the
managers nor in the enthusiasm of the
visitors. The ladies OF the Union have
shown themselves to be good judges Of
what will meet the wants of our people in
the way Of entertainments, and proved that
they are excellent managers. The total
amount realized during the two nights is
about eighty five dollars.
Might before last, after the perform
ance in the atheneum was over and the
audience had departed, Miss Katie Putnam
came into the audience portion Of the hall,
where some of her friends had renamed
to congratulate her, and chatted with them
pleasantly for several minutes. While
talking something was heard to drop, but
Miss Putnam saying that il was probably
button from her dress, no atten-
ton was paid to it. But yes
tcrday DR.. Dunning received dispatch
from her, stating that she had dropped one
Of her diamond rings and asking that the
Atheneum he searched before the janitor
swept the floor. The search was made, but
no ring was found of which fact she was
informed by telegraph. 1t was a large
cluster diamond ring, containing three
diamonds, each valued at about two hun
dred dollars
The BULLETIN. with its accustomed
enterprise, has brought sun spots within
the reach of its readers, and now announces
that a spot is visible little to the right Of
and below the centre Of the suns disk. By
protecting the eye with piece of smoked
or colored glass the spot may be seen like a
black spcck on the smooth, yellow surface.
An opera-glass magnifyng three or four
times makes the spot conspicuous. A tcle-
scope shows it to be composed of two huge
spots, each many thousand miles in extent,
and surrounded by vast shadowy border,
or penumbra. A notion may be formed Of
the tremendous forces that are at work up |
on the sun when it is recolected that the
earth could probably be dropped into
either of the huge chasms that this spot
contains. Yet such holes in the sun are
often formed or closed up in few days, or
even few hours.
We publish this morning the message
OF Mayor Thistlewood, vetoing the ordinance
which grants the right of way to the Street
railway Company, in which he gives his rea
sons for refusing his signature. The mayor
raises two objections to the ordinance, first
that the petition is not such as would in law
warrant the passage Of the ordinance, since
it does not, as the law requires that it shall
represent one half Of the property frontage of
the streets upon which the road is to be run.
Secondly, he objects to the length of the
time for which the right Of way is given,
and to the style of rail and general con-
struction of the road that the ordinance |
permits. lie thinks that the council |
should reserve the right "to require the
use of a standard rail and guage at the |
expiration of five or ten years. The
message was patiently listened to and an
other vote taken upon the ordinance and,
not receiving the two-third vote o. the
council, it was lost
