| KNOW WnNt reason thcre was Tor TINS pro-
ceedlng, but certainly none that would
justify such brutality
Yesterday morning Mr.. James Ken
nedy, an cmploye at Halliday Brothers
coal dump, when going to his work, found
the body of Il man lying by the side vi the
fence, which surrounds the coal dump yard
and notified Coroner Fitzgerald of the fact
A jury was at once summonscd and an IN
quest held, which developed the following
facts; He was a stranger named j. NJ
Grover, who had arrived here some time
ago from the Pennsylvania oil regions and
had since about the middle of last January
been employed at the new elevator, but
quit some days ago, partly because he was
sick aud partly because he wished to look
for new lodging house nearer to his place
of work, He was last seen by a
number ofmcn on Friday evening when he
seemed to be all right. There were no signs
OF violence about the body and the jury
brought in verdict of death from un.
known causes.
Mr. Stuart Rogers, "thc actor Of the
PLATFORM will Ee here on the eighteenth
instant to give one of his highly interest
ing and instructive entertainments for the
benefit of the Cairo Library ASSOCIATION.
The reputation Of the man as an impersona
tor IS widespread and not without reason
as will be seen from the following
extract from the Kewanee, Ills, Courier
Ills audience Was better than Others that
had preceded. Mr.. Rogers has good com.
mand Of himself throughout, His manner
is easy and graceful, his voice excellent
and under admirable control, his conception
nearly perfect, and his pronunciation
almost faultlcss. Those who did
not attend missed an entertainment that
would have made them weep and laugh,
and given instruction withal. There were
several characteristic excelenccs in Mr..
Rogers that the young men who listened to
him would DO well to notice, especially his
selfpoise bis gracctulness, and the thorough
mastery Of his voice, giving one a good idea
Of cultivated naturaIness."
