The new version says "men do not put
new wine in old wine skins" That part
OF the revised scriptures will have to DC
revised for this part of the world, for there
are personally known to be quite number
of sold wine skins hereabouts that are be-
ing constantly tested in this respect, and
never an explosion has there been yet.
An old negro barber named Thomas
Freeman, who had been keeping barber
shop on Ohio levee, several doors above
Eighth street, for number of years. was
found dead IN his chair by one OF his Gus
toners yesterday afternoon. He lived very
secluded, attending strictly to his business
and, for all that was known, enjoyed me-
The cause of his sudden death is mystery

To have all benefits to be obtained
from the health. giving waters of Waukesha
and Saratoga, or the most Celebrated Ger
man springs, Cairoites do not have to seek
those localities. They have the springs at
home, provided by Messrs. Barclay Broth

People in very moderate circumstances are
thus enabled to realize the benefits of the

Ice cream was dispensed in large guam
titles at Reform hall last evening to very
large number of citizens. The hall was
crowded nearly all the time from seven
o'clock until about eleven. Five or six
tables were handsomely decked and
decorated with flowers, and waited upon
by Misses Jennie Wilson, Fannie
Barclay, Emma Leland, Barby Nef,
Lena Ray, Maude Rittenhouse
Mamie Parker and Mrs. Parker, Mrs. G.
M. Alden and Mrs. Sargent. The affair
must have been as profitable to the club as
it was pleasant to the guests, which is say
ing great deal.
The Cairo correspondent of the Chica-
90 Tribune in his account OF the accident
which resulted fatally to young George
Merriam, says.that it is thought death was
caused by the "chloroform that was given
him." This is an error. Doctor Parker,
who dressed the boys wounds, administer
ed no choroform or anything else unto him.
The boy was, during the operation of am
putating his fingers, in stupor
from which lie did not awake. Nothing
but little liquor was given him, and that
before he was brought into the doctors
office. 1t is the opinion of Doctor Parker
that the boy died of cerebral hemorrhage.
1t was rumored late last night that
another attempt to do personal violence to
the negro, Albert Hayes, would be made
early this morning. That twelve men from
Kentucky had been imported to do the job
of hanging the young wretch. Up to this
writing, half-past eleven o'clock, all is
quiet and no attempt has been made to
repeat the rather grotesque affair of the
night before. That there is ample cause
for indignation at the heinous crime of the
youthful devil cannot be doubted, but it is
also crime to take him out of the hands
of the law after he has been placed under
lock and key with the intention Of sending
him prematurely into hades.
Albert Hayes, the young negro, whose
blood was sought by company of angry
citizens night before last, was taken to the
county court room for preliminary ex-
animation yesterday afternoon. Es-
quire Osborn was present and
held court. The negro was represented
by Hon. d. T. Linegar and the people by
City Attorney Hendricks. The prisoner
waived an examination, and was held in
bond in the sum of five hundred dollars for
his appearance at the July term Of the cir
cult court. He was very much scared at
the attempt made upon his life the night
before, and therefore he was not brought to
the police court for trial.
