The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-06-09


Wednesday morning Mr.. Henry Brei-
hans delivery team was driven into the
Ohio river, near where the transfer wharf
boat formerly lay, for the purpose of water
ing the horses, and il seems that the horses
got in too far, or there was an invisible
obstruction which caused them to stumble
At any rate the wagon was turned complete
ly over, the driver was pitched headlong
into deep water, and it was only by the
prompt assistance of bystanders that he and
the team were saved from drowning.

THE BULLETIN is also prepared to deny,
upon good authority, the Democrats asscr-
ton that he intends soon TO remove from
Cairo permanently.
Anna Farmer; "While ST. Louis is
overstocked with peaches from the south.
New Orleans is paying sl6 per bushel for
them. The idea that bigger prices are
realized by shipping north is not always
founded ON fact. If Mississippi, Arkansas
and Southern Illinois growers would put a
little more of their fruit into the New Or
leans and other southern markets Instead OF
sending it all to northern cities, it would
be better for all concerned, and greatly so
for the Southern Illinois producers who
often find their prices of fruit broken down
by the previous arrival Of damaged fruit
from the south"

The English papers are beginning to
wage war upon overhead telegraph wires,
although there are no masts in the streets
as it is with us, the wires running along the
housetops and only being Objectionable
when they cross the streets. The tele-
phone system also is only in its infancy in
London, nor is there that competition in
telegraphing which we have The papers
demand that underground wires shall be
made the rule in the city itself as in Paris
and Berlin. In Vienna the wires, both
telegraph and telephone, are carried on
brackets along the fronts of the houses.

some of which were in themselves pathetic
