The white man and negro charged with
murder in East st. Louis, and who were ex'
pected to arrive here on the steamer Cen
tennial on Saturday, made their escape
from the boat before reaching this point.
They were seen to board the boat and were
noticed by the clerk. The white man re-
NAMED in the kitchen to dry his clothing
which he had washed, and lac was badly
scratched up about the face. But he had
no money and the clerk put him OIL at the
frs. landing below st. Louis. The ne
gro also made his escape in some way.
The officers here were promptly ON hand
when the boat arrived.
The Jolly Bachelors appear at the
Opera House next Thursday night, and 1t
is hoped that our citizens will turn out and
give them a warm reception. Reserved
seats can now be obtained at Hartman's
The following from the cleveland Herald
shows how the troupe was received in that
city: "The second performance of"rhe
Jolly Bachelors at the Academy of Music
last evening, called out an audience that
occupied nearly every seat in the house.
The rendering of the little opera calls for
no comment beyond what II has already
received, and its popularity-the word is
used adyisely-seems to be such as to make
1t measurably independent of newspaper
putting. - Cleveland Herald
On Monday man named c, y. e.
kins in company with friend, came here
from johnson county, and put up at the
Three States House During the evening
Elkins got drunk, but came home at a rea-
sonable hour and went to his room aud to
bed While he was asleep his friend went
To the landlord, told him that Elkins WAS
drunk and had a sum Of money about his
person, and asked him to go along and
take possession Of the motley until Elkins
should become sober. The landlord and
friend entered Elkins' room aud proceeded
to search his clothing for the money, FL
kns awoke while the search was in pro
gress, thought that he was being robbed
and drew his pistol upon the landlord.
The latter knocked him down aud took
the pistol away from him; but Elkins was
well provided with weapons, and drew
forth an ugly looking set of leaden knuck-
les. The landlord got these also away from
him and then left HIM. Yesterday Elkns
was brought before Justice Robinson to
answer the charge of assault with intent to
murder, preferred by the landlord, but
after consideration the charge was changed
to carrying concealed weapons, and Elkns
was fined twenty-five dollars and costs.
Elkins claimed that he came here in pur-
suit of person who was trying to swinde
him out of some property, and that John
son county lawyer had told him that he
had right to carry concealed weapons in
such case, but the Cairo police court
showed very little respect for the opinion
Of the johnson county attorney
The fact that the red hot Republican
chairman Of the Prohibition convention
called upon the red hot whisky Republican
States Attorney Dhmron TO favor the con
vention with his views upon temperance;
and the fact that the latter then proceeded
to deliver himself Of an 'alf and 'alf Pro
hibtion Republican, whisky and water
haranCue and was applauded therefor
and the fact that Hon. Thomas NJ. Logan
the brother Of the fierce-visaged and frey
tongued Republican aspirant for the sena
torshp in 1884, who has promised to man
age this congressional district in behalf Of
himself in the approaching canvas,-the
fact that this brother is to be the Prohbi-
ton nominee for the State legislature
these facts give the Prohibition movement
here very strong Republican odor. But
whether the swarthy manipulation of polti-
cal conventions is personally directly or in
directly interested in the Prohibition
movement here or not, may be left in doubt
The fact remains, however, and no intelli-
gent person will deny it, that the Prohibi-
ton movement is aimed to- benefit the Re-
publican party of the district and to
injure the Democratic party 1t is
the intention of the Prohibitonists
here to defeat a Democrat and they make
no secret of their intentions; they do not
: deny it; they openly assert it. They intend
to capture Democratic votes by nominating
Mr.. Logan as temperance Democrat. But
Mr.. Logan is no longer Democrat to any
extent whatever. He is much less Demo
crat than we thought him several days ago
to be. In conversation with committee
