-Murphysboro Independent: 1--WE see
by THE CAIRO BULLETIN that Conductor
VIM. A. Keefc, of the st. Louis s. Cairo
railroad, was voted fine silver lantern as
the most popular railroad man at Catholic
fair held in that city. Will is just as pretty
as he is popular and would have won the
lantern on that score. He has legions of
friends in this city who will be pleased to
hear of his receiving such an honor, and
who would have contributed to it had
they been present"

The report that Col, j, w. Paramore,
of the Texas system Of narrow-guage rail-
roads, has leased the Cairo g. st. Louis
narrow-guGge road, has, as yet, no founda-
ton in fact so far as can be ascertained from
the officers of the company here. The lat
ter road is still in the hands of its old Off.
GERS, and extensive improvements, which
have been in progress here and along the
line for some time are still being vigorously
pushed. 1t is true, however, that Col.
Paramore has both the money and the dis
position to do that which rumor says he
has done, and it appears to be also true that
he has been looking around the city for
suitable ground upon which to locate very
large machine shops and other buildings in
which to transact the business of the com
pany. Should the vapory rumors now
afoat in the air materialize, Cairo would
be benefited to an incalculable extent.

Republican Senatorial cane

At the caucus Of the Republican Sen,
atorS in Washington, yesterday morn
ing, it was decided, by a nearly unan-
imouS vote, to continue the efforts to
secure the passage of the pending
resolution for an immediate election of
, Republican officers, a proposition to
allow the deadlock to be- broken from
time to time hy executive sessions for
the confirmation Of uncontested nomi-
nations was rejected, rs inadvisable
The reasons given for the indefinite
maintenance Of the present Republican
position were these That the majority
should control action; that to succumb
to the minority in the matter of choosing
officers, would simply pave the way for
submission TO the minority on matters
OF greater Importance hereafter; that,
rs there is no Legislative business to be
transacted at this session, the public
interests are not likely to suffer from
delay i'll confirming nominations to Off
ceS already filled, and tho present is,
therefore, the best time to meet the
issues raised; and, finally, that "thr
election Of candidates nominated by the
majority (including Mr.. Riddleberger,
OF Nirginia) must be insisted upon ~ a
means of sustaining and promoting the
alliance Of Republicans and Independ-
cnt Democrats in Virginia and other
Southern States in opposition to the
Bourbon Democrats" "

secures the offered prize of $40, 900. A

tograph from indianapolis, in. which
city she was then playing. The choice
at that time had narrowed down very
close, but she Immediately became a
formidable competitor. Last week she
began an engagement at the Grand Cen
trail Theatre, Philadelphia, doing sing
ing parts. On Friday Mr.. Forrpaugh
sent for the lady to call at his house on
Green street. The personal inspection
confirmed the favorable impression made
by the photograph. Some hours after
her visit note informed her that she
had been selected. Miss Montague will

After prayer by Rev. DR. o. II. Tiffany,
Mayor King delivered his inaugural

graduated Councils on the present con

his intention to free the city from a
partisan police, and if vacancies are
created that the places will be filled ir-
respective of party affiliations; urged
the necessity of an abundant supply OF

East Park reservoir; advised the intro
duction of the electric light; favored a
reduction of fare on the street paSScn-
ger railways to five cents. The naviga-
tion of the Delaware and SchuylkiIl

Rev. Abiel RiIyer's Death,

An article a few days ago, appeared
IN the papers giving an account of the
drowning of Rev. Abiel Silver, former
minister OF the Swedenborgian church,
( OF this city, which left an impression
that he had taken his own life. The
drowning took place on Sunday even
ing, March 9th, and on the Monday
morning following the Boston Journal
contained the full account Of the occur
renee from which 1t appears that about
halt-past eight o'clock in the evening
the draw-tender at the bridge of the
Boston Il Maine Railroad at Prison
Point, heard some person struggling in
the water under the bridge He hurried
to the spot and saw n man to whom he
extended board. The man caught it,
but his strength failed and he sank be-
fore he could be rescued. The body was
soon recovered and from the contents of
the pockets was found to be that of Rev.
Abiel Silver, the aged pastor of the New
Jerusalem church, on Regent street,
EoXburv, Massachusetts,. Mr.. Silver
preached in Salem on the Sunday ofhis
death, and ghen he left Boston it was
his intention to return on Sunday even
ing. The Journal thinks he must have
left Salem on the 7.05 train in the even
ing which reaches the station at East
Somerville at 7.42. The supposition is
that Mr.. Silver left the cars by mistake
and that he attempted to walk to Bos-
ton and fell through the bridge into the
creek. Mrs. Silver thought it likely
that he had been detained at Salem TO
attend funeral, but all united in say
ing that his mind was unclouded aud
unburdened by sorrow and, indeed, that
it was, as it always had been, in very
healthy state. Rev. Mr.. Silver was at
one time pastor Of the New Jerusalem
church, of this city, and there are many
who recollcct him not only as talent
nd and able pulpit orator, but as u
sincere christian man.
