The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-07-01

quite certain that within year that block
will be one of the best and grandest in the
city.
The last touches are now being put
upon the Union depot The painters fin
ished their work yesterday, and the carpen-
tiers, too, are through with their work
The offices are already occupied by the
railroad officials and the depot presents
quite business like appearance.
Good streets IS what Cairo needs above
all things on next Monday and every means
should be used to bring about this result
All that the scavenger can do should be
done, and all that the sprinkler can do
should be done. What these cannot accom-
plish must be accomplished by kind provi-
dcnce.
One of the employees of the new elc-
vator, named W. j. Lyons, had his hand
badly mangled by the wheels of car that
is being used on top of the building for
transporting lumber from place TO place.
Three fingers were badly mashed. The
necessary surgical attention was given the
injured limb.
We received yesterday 20 reams West
lock bill heads, 90 ream statements, a large
lot of 6 and 61s envelopes, best in market,
full government, % reams note and letter
heads, 10000 cards, all of which we are

State Senator Sessions, of New York;
implicated in the bribery of certain men,
bers of the Legislature of that state, has
been indicted by the grand jury at Albany.
He came into court, pleaded not guilty, and
gave bail in the sum of $4,000 Tor his ap-
pearance for trial. The chances for his
convection are not enough to give him
much uneasiness.
The new belts and swords of the boys
of the Mystic Krew have arrived. The
former are red leather, with silver buckle
in front bearing the stamp of the order, the
skull and cross-bones, with the letters, "K.
NJ X. c." surrounding 1t, one at each cor
ner of the buckle. The swords are silver
plated and of elegant workmanship. Cres-
cents, stars and other ornaments are still to
come.
Boys should not be permitted to fly
kites, where they are liable to become en-
tangled with the telegraph wires in the
city. In a walk through the streets ones
attention is every now and then attracted
by shapeless mass of sticks, paper, string
and rags suspended from the wires. The
bare, rough poles and, in some places, the
crooked wires, irregularly put up, look bad
enough without such decorations.
