COUNCIL CHAMBER,

REPORT OF oRDINAHcE COMMITTEE.

REPORT OF ORDINANCE COMMITTEE.
Hon, Mayor and city Council of the city of Cairo
Gentlemen-Your ordinance committee
to whom was referred petition from
Iravcrs Daniels, requesting an extension Of
time to commence work on the water
works, beg leave to report that your com
mittee can see no good reason why an eX-
tension should be granted. A very large
amount Of work has 10 be performed before
the said contractor can have any use for
either water pipe or stand pipe We be-
lieve that it would be 10 the interest Of the
city as well as 10 the interest of the con-
tractor, that work should be commenced
and prosecuted according to the contract
The excavation and laying Of the founda-
tions for stand pipe, crib, &c, must Ger.
tainly take up almost the extension asked
for, viz: February 10Th, 1882. And if
the foundations were commenced as speedi-
ly as possible not later than 2Gth Of Oct,
1881, the time specified in the contract and
agreed to by the contractor, there can be no
doubt but the said foundations would be in
much better condition to resist any weight
or pressure that might be put upon them.
Your committee are unanimously IN the
opinion that the foundations should be
commenced at once and are therefore OPP
posed to any extension Of time in the com
mencement Of said work.

Sale of Booths Theatre.
ONLY FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TH0USANl
DOLLARS REALIZED FOR WHAT COST OyEl
A MILLION.

ONLY FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS REALIZED FOR WHAT COST OVER
A MILLION.
The massive building on the southeast
corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-third
street, better known rs Booths Theatre,
has nj last Succumbed 10 the demands OF
trade and commerce. For years past this
property. having reverted TO the estate OF
Cakes Ames-the gentleman who always
placed his money where it could do the most
good-has been in the market, and Thurs
day contract was actually signed for its
transfer 10 Mr.. j. Augustus Page, who Sc
cured il for Sjj0,000. The sum OF $4,000
was paid down in cash to bind the contract.
The premises now produce an annual
rental OF about $4,000.
The Booth-Theatre building has n front
age Of 1877 feet on Twenty-third street and
70 feet on Sixth avenue, and covers about
seven lots i'm all. When Mr.. Booth, the
actor. entered into this enterprise he paid
for the ground $3.50. 900; excavations, $50,
600; building, $500, OOC-total, 81, 100000.
This amount shows the total cost to the
eminent actor. but unWise investor, when
he sunk his entire fortune in that building.
Naturally, in due course OF time, owing 10
the default in payment of mortgages, it re-
vertcd TO the original owners, and the pre-
sent sale by the Oakes Ames estate, who
represent their original owners, finishes up
the history OF Booths Theatre.
The return OF this property into the
hands Of Mr.. Page is not without curious
interest. itappears that about three months
before Mr.. Booth was burned out at the
Winter Garden Mr.. Page had purchased
the lots on the corner OF Twenty-third
street and Sixth avenue from the Living
ston estate for 100000. He had no imme-
datc use for the property, and held 1t as
an investment. After the fire at the Winter
Garden Mr.. Booth went to him and offered
for the land $500, coo. which was accepted
at once by Mr.. Page. The history of the
property since that time is familiar to the
public. Mcssrs. Smith and Ely intend, If
nothing happens mean while, to change the
structure into a retail dry-goods store after
the 1st OF May, 1882, when the present
lease expires. - Herdh.

Of Clark and Washington streets, about
o'clock this afternoon, while under the in

When Draper first announced his deter

rign refused to give il unless regular
Wacticing physician were present TO assist
linn. Or. Dodge was accordingly called
in, and administered the drug. The man
was an unusually hard subject TO render

patient exhibited only the ordinary symp-

DR.. Dodge stated i'm conversation with

his ear over the mans heart, but could dis
cover no evidences OF disease OF that or

an unusual degree Of citation while taking
the drug. When he was making prepare

"She has gone before me-" a gem

a Gloomy Prospect for Democratic
POSfmRsfCrs.

WASHINGTON. December 22.-One import
ant result of the incoming Stalwart admin
istration of the Post-Oflice DEPARTMENTAL,
il is understood, be the wholesale displace-
ment OF Democratic country pOstmasters
and the substitution Of Republicans. There
has been much complaint among Republican
politicians for five or six years, but more par
ticularly during the period of the Hayes adj
ministration, about the appointment OF De-
mocratic postmasterS. Both Mr.. Howe, the
new Postmaster-General, and Mr.. Hatton,
the First Assistant POstmaster-Gencral,
are Stalwarts OF the most pronounced type.
and bitterly opposed TO putting or Keeping
political opponents in office. Their friends
saw that they will turn their attention as
soon as possible TO the country postmasters.
In the South, where the Democratic post
masters predominant, il has been more
from the necessity OF the case than other
wise that such appointments have been
made. and the Department will find il very
difficult in many localities OF that section
TO find competent men who are not
Democrats. one OF the ideas OF the Stall
warts is that the Republican party in the
South can be built up and strengthened
through the influence Of the country post
masters il the right men for the positions
can only be obtained. - Baltimore Sun.
