The argument for the prosecution in
the Whitcamp murder case was resumed
yesterday morning by Mr.. w. G. Mulkcy,
who occupied the floor until about eleven
o'clock a. m. when Mr.. s. p. Wheeler fol-
lowed for the defense. Mr.. Wheeler occu-
pied the balance Of the forenoon
and the afternoon until about
-four o'clock, when Mr.. Lcek took
the floor for the prosecution again. He
spoke until six o'clock and about two hours
after supper, when Mr.. Albright followed
him for the defense and occupied the bal.
ance of the session, until about
ten o'clock at night. He will resume this
morning and will be followed by Mr., Line
gar, who will speak until evening, perhaps,
and Mr., Damron will then begin the clos
ing argument for the prosecution. The
speeches SO far have been powerful and the
interest is intense. Many ladies were pres
ent all day yesterday.
The ladies Of the Temperance club have
been unusually active in the prosecution
of their work of reform. They have adop.
| ted a new plan that will not fail to be pro
ductivc of some good, and that will make
their work tct beyond the limits of Caro-
A number OF the most active among them
have visited the county Jail and had some
very pleasant little chats with the prison
ers there, which terminated very satisfactor,
lily both to themand to thcprisoners; others
have been visiting the railroad depots and
scattering temperance tracts through
the trains and the waiting rooms
That this work is all for naught no one
will say, for something will certainly be ac-
compllshed if it is persisted in, How much
will be accomplished it is impossible TO
calculate, for there is no telling how often
one Of these little missiles, scattered upon
the highways, will strike a wrctched soul
and cause it to turn from the beaten path of
sin The ladies will find ample encourage
ment in their work if they persist 10 it.
The temperance people had one of
their best meetings last night. In point
of numbers and the character of its exer
cises il surpassed any they have had for
some time past. The meeting was opened
by calling the secretary to the chair, on
the motion of George S. Fisher, the preSi
dent and vice president being absent. A
song-"The Morning Light is Breaking
was sung Miss Anna Wilson at the
organ short scriptural lesson was read by
thechairnanand prayer was offered by broth |
er Brown. On motion the chair appoint
ed Brothers j. +. Miller p. w Barclay
and G. VI. Alden committee to receive Col |
Lowery at the train upon his arrival in this
city next week. A number OF short and
very interesting addresses were delivered |
by the chairman, and Brothers Miller, |
Spiller, Kilbourne, Goodyear Phillips and |
Brown, and Sisters Wilson and Alden |
One signature was obtained to the pledge, |
and after asking blessing upon the club |
and singing another song, the meeting ad
journcd.
Last night Hartman's Hall was the |
great attraction for the people of Cairo, A |
large and festive crowd gathered there, |
larger than ever before, for the spacious
hall was nearly packed. The entertain
ment was excellent The programme pub
tishcd in the papers was carried out to the
letter and every part Of it was received
with well mented applause. The singing,
music and tabIcauX were all Of the best;
but the performance of the fan
brigade was especially good

in every way, and it is to he de-
plorcd that this is to be its last day, We
believe that it could be made a success for
many weeks to come, for it Is novelty to
most people, and furnishes excellent enter
tainment for both old and young folks, as
well as for strangers in the city, of whom
there were many present last night The
Cairo and Vincennes railroad, and the
steamer Fowler, might be induced to bring
excursion parties INTO the city every week,
which would add greatly to ITS success from
a financial ndpoint.
