The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-09-30

ruyo'7V number of citizens, merchants and
'lth tcrs, are at this early day examining the
| gas pipes running into their houses and
having them so arranged that the expected
biting frosts of the coming winter Will not,
as heretofore, freeze the water in them and
thus stop the flow Of gas. This trouble
has caused much profanity and incon-
venience, especially to merchants, in past
winters, hence the precaution taken by
some to avoid 1t in the future.

AT about $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon horse attached to baggage wagon
standing near the Union depot on CONNER
eial avenue became frightened at some
thing and ran up the avenue
at brake neck speed, turning
up Eighth street toward Ohio levee,
and came to a stop near Magistrate Com
ing's Office The immediate cause of the
horses starting was probably that he was
net tied, and the immediate cause of his
stopping was that the wagon turned com
pletely over and was too much of load
for the lazy animal. Though the ordinance
against permitting horses to stand in the
streets without being securely tied was
shattered into smithereens the horse, har-
ness and wagon were uainjured The team
belonged to Captain James Biggs and was
in charge of careless negro driver when
the runaway occurred.
The ice box used by Messrs. Hinkle \
Son in their meat establishment on Ohio
levee is model one It's walls are
on the air chamber order and il is divided
into three compartments. The largest is IN
the rear end, about eight by twelve feet in
dimensions and about seven and half feet
high this is the room where the meat is
kept and is divided from the front room by
sn air.tight wall and door. The front room
is about ten feet high and about i've by
eight feer in dimension. Entrance to this |
is gained by l.Fge door, with window

ItiaHkely that the public schools il
this city Will be more crowded this year
than they we're last year, hence it may not
be ont Of order To suggss, in advance that
the schoo. board secure additional |
room 10 accommodate the crowd Of |
who are eager for IN education
Last year, IS ia known, the room was not
near adequate 10 the demand, and many pa
rents preferred 10 keep their children at
home rather than send them 10 schools
which we're necessarily rendered somewhat
unhealthy by oycrcrowding. The teachers,
too in some instances found it very incon-
ycnlent and sometimes almost impossible 10 |
give the proper attention to all |
their scholars, and it il a surprise
that some Of them did such |
satisfactory work under the circumstances
The board has doubtless recognized this
fact and will seek to supply the want in
case it makes itself felt this season as it did |
last. The old Christian church on Eight
zenith street, between Washington avenue
and Walnut street, might be leased and |
would answer the purpose In question we'll
One hundred and thirteen street lamps |
are now being lighted in different parts OF
the city every night that is not moonlight |
night and the fact is source of much com
fort to the many citizens who are induced,
either by business or pleasure, to be out
upon the streets after sun down. The
highest number of lamps lighted IN former
years was ninety eight, being fifteen less than
now; and to light the ninety eight lamps in |
former years cost the city considerable more
than do the hundred and thirteen now, the
