Mrs. Adam Grubb. 23l Walnut street, has
been great sufferer for number of years
from extreme pain in the feet, something like
rheumatism. She was also very much trou'
bled with corns and bunions. Il was with
grea, difficulty that she c, uld walk and scmes
times when she would visit her husbands
shoe store or any of her children, she could
not get home sgsin without assistance ana
often when she was walking along the streets
she would be seized with such acute pain
that she was compelled to
stop ia ct the neighbors on tie
way until she got better. Some two
weeks ago she heard of the wonderful Gu e'
st. Jacobs Oil was effecting and she at once
commenced to u'et end experienced great
relief Immediately. The phns have left her
feet and ankles and the Inflammation has left
the corns and bunions. Sheis now tripping
up to her husbands shoe store and out to zee
her children without experiencing any pain.

"A letter from Mr.. Trayers Daniel to
Mayor, N. b. Thstlewood, dated at Clarks-
vile, Tennessee, October 18th, states that
the writer has made arrangements in New
York City to receive the money for build.
ing the Cairo water works, but he still in
sists upon the extension of the time to
February 18th, next year, for, he says, he
can not obtain pipe before January. He
also says that he does not consider the
franchises granted him by the city as a
good investment; yet he desires to fill the
contract las best he cam The report Of
the council committee to which Mr.
Daniels petition was referred, which was
published in yesterdays BULLETIN, meets
fairly the objection to the time of com
mencement, which Mr.. Daniel interposes,
when it says that "a very large amount of
work must be done before the said con
tractor can have any use for either water
pipe or stand pipe. The excava-
tons and laying Of the foundations, crib,
etc, must certainly take up almost the ex-
tension asked for" Mr.. Daniels hint that
be does mot consider the franchises good
investment" is very untimely, and should
have been given during his consultations
with the committee which framed the con-
tract, to every provision OF which he con-
sented before it was adopted by the com
mittee. The objection formerly made by
him, that the ground would not furnish
sufficiently firm foundation for stand pipe
two hundred feet high, he
has himself admitted to have been
not well taken; so that the only points
Of difference between him and the council
are: The speed of the piston of the pump,
the size of the water pipes and the extern
sion Of time. AS the latter objection is en-
tirely unjustifable, only two remain that
are of any real weight. These two obiec-
tons, if met by the council as Mr.. Daniel
desires they shall be, would enable him to
save thousands of dollars by supplying a
smaller, less powerful pumping apparatus
and laying smaller water pipes, and there
fore Mr.. Daniels demands in this respect
are unreasonable. It is true, he asserts
that neither would affect the efficacy of
service; but for this we have only his word,
which, hnimpeached, of course, still seems
to be contradicted by the results which, 1t
appears to reasonable mind, must follow
the changes suggested by him.

In the Shannessy examination Tuesday,
unlike the Hays examination, all the wit
nesses present for the prosecution were ex-
amined and it appears that their testimony
was not as favorable to the people as the
enemies of the defendant might have
wished. These enemies believe that, if the
prosecuting attorney found that the
testimony Of his own witnesses would 90
against him, he should have done as was
done in the Hays case, withheld the testi
mony. In other words they believe that
the prosecuting attorney should do all with
in his power to convict defendant, even
to the extent of Withholding truthful testi-
money. They seem to forget that police
court should be court of justice, (Which
in many cases it is mott, and that in order
that man may receive justice it is nee
essray that all the truth should be known
to the court The primary object Of the
attorney, or any other attorneys,
should not be to convict or to clear. but.to
have justice dong; and, therefore, either
would be doing wrong if he withheld i'm
portant truthful testimony, simply because
1t would IMPURE his side of the case. That
TINS 10 often done is to be deplored.

Theatientiono Of Mayor Thistlewood and
Marshal Myers was yesterday called to the
fact thht the track Of the street railroad,
where it turns the corner, on Twenty
Eighth street is raised considerably
above the level of the street, that is, one
side of the track is so raised, ia order to
prevent the cars from jumping the track
every time they turn the corner Their
attention was also called to the fact that
the company was in the act of having
Fourth street similarly INSTRUCTED for the
same reason. The officers gave the matter
their attention, notified the proper repre-.
sentatives of the company that
they were> violating the or
dinance, and received assurances
from them that the ordinances would be
complied with and the track lowered to It's
lawful level. A heavy iron rail, firmly
placed along the inner side Of the outer
rail, as far as it turns around corner, will,
as the managers Of the street railway prob
ably know, prevent the cars from jumping
the track as we'll as raising one rail would,
and would not be violation of the ordi-
nances.

All but about six thousand dollars Of
the money realized by the city from the
sale of Railroad street lots has been used
in the improvement of said street, as was
originally ordered by the council. One
half of this six thousand dollars has been
transferred to another fund which was run
ming short, so that three thousand dollars
still remain. There is some prospect, how
ever, that this six thousand dollars will
again be made full and that the whole will
be used in filling Railroad street up to a
level with the cross streets at the points
where it connects with them.

Three attempts were made to fire the
steamer Ariadne on her down trip and
while she was between this city and Union
town Monday Fireballs composed of cot
ton and oil were lighted, one at the stern,
one at the bow and another amidships
They were discovered and the blaze put out
before any damage was acme. Several par
ties were suspected but the attempt has not
yet been reliably fixed on anyone. The
boat is now lying here awaiting her turn
to go on the ways for repairs There were
many different rumors afoat regarding the
attempt to burn her One is that it was
the work of parties who held a grudge
against the line to which she belongs be-
cause they were defeated in a suit for 500
600 against the line, brought in Louisville
some time ago, the aforesaid suit resulting
from collision in which boat belonging
to the parties was sunk and lost. Another
is that it was the work of man recently
discharged from the boat. Which, if eth.
er, of these stories are true, we cannot say

Several very contradictory accounts
Of the tragedy at Metropolis are out, which
is due to the fact that the officers on the
steamer Fannie Tatum, whose hands were
engaged in the fracas, refused to
say anything about it, The account pub.
lished in another column is given upon the
authority of a passenger on the Tatum who,
though not an eye witness to the affair,
arrived upon the scene after the negro had
been shot, and saw The dead man. He
gathered his information from the negroes
standing around who had been eye witness
es to tie whole bloody enactment But
Captain Taylor, Of the steamer Gus Fowler
says, that from what he could learn from
people at Metropolis,st appears that a deck
hand on the Tatum was Sinking his duty,
that the second mate went aft and brought
him out, that another negro interfered and
'shot off his mouth in the deck hands be-
half that the second mate and this negro
then came to blows, during which the form
err was severely cut in the abdomen, and
that thereupon the Waterman, who was q
relative of the second mate, drew his re-
volver and shot the negro dead. Whether
this or the story published elsewhere is true
is not positively known but that the affair
involved some of the officers of the boat is
evident from the silence maintained by
them, also from the fact that the boat had

Monday night, about seven o'clock,
when the steamer Fannie Tatum landed at
Metropolis on her down trip to take aboard
a large lot of pow handles, row occurred
between the second mate of the steamer
and one of the rousters, during which the
former received an ugly cash in the lower
right side of the abdomen and the latter
was shot dead. The crew had gone ashore
TO load the handles, and it seems that the
dead negro gave the mate occasion to re-
buke him and order him to be more active,
which the negro roughly resented and
which induced him to call for his time
Angered at this, the mate moved towards
him with his hand upon his hip, saying,
an give you your time, G. d. YOU
The negro received his knife, inficting the
wound aforesaid, when the second mate
drew his pistol and shot him dead. This
occurred on shore. The second mate was
placed under arrest and, with the blood
running freely from his fearful wound, was
marched of to Jail, where he now is await
ing his preliminary examination. An in
quest was held over the body of the negro
Immediately after. Nearly the entire crew
quit the boat and another had to be en-
ployed, together with a new second mate,
which caused the boat to be delayed until
midnight Of Tuesday
