over the body of a colored man found in
the Ohio river, below the st. Louis and
Cairo railroad early yesterday morning
The man had been an employe on tho Mr..
Bernard's saw mill boat. and had accident
ally fallen overheard Monday night and

"A white man named N G. Clark
falsely impersonated an officer yesterday
and was arrested. He had concealed in his
pocket large pistol and had also been
seen with pair of villianous looking brass
knucks which he had given to one John w.

Mr.. A. G.. Leonard, city editor of the
Cairo Gazette, who was stabbed in the alb
domen by Geo. w. Tanner in a quarrel on
the steamer Silverthorn, near Joppa, ILL.,,
early Tuesday morning, was brought home
Tuesday night Yesterday he was feeling
much better and will be all right in week
or ten days if hemmorrhage does not set
10, which is not probable. 1t seems from
the facts in the quarrel that the cutting was
not iustifable. A discussion concerning
the present occupants of the custom house
was in progress between Mr.. Wells of the
custom house, and George Tanner. The
lie was passed between these two good
Republicans and about this time Mr.
Leonard came forward and quietly remarked
that, if he were in Tanners place, he
would not have said what Tanner did.
Here the discussion between Tanner and
Wells ended, but few minutes afterward
Tanner called Leonard to account for the
remark the latter had made. A dispute
between these two ended by slap in the
face for Leonard from Tanner. Leonard
struck back, knocking Tanner against the
chimney of the boat, and while the former
was bending over him, Tanner used his open
knife 1t was not until after they had been
parted that Leonard knew that he was cut.
He gave the alarm and was taken in charge
by his friends on the boat, while Tanner
was arrested by Constable John Sides and
confined in one of the state rooms in order
to protect him against the excited passen-
1 gers, the friends of Leonard, who threatened
5 to throw him overheard. 1t was fully an
e hour and half before Metropolis was
: reached and physician could be procured
who pronounced the wounded man not
l dangerously hurt. Leonard's wounds are
three in number, all close together on the
? left side of the abdomen. One is about one
9 and half inches long Tanner is in Jail at
o Metropolis under bond of two hundred
dollars, and will be examined there on the
10Th provided Leonard will be able TO at
n tend.
Some important telephone results have
been lately obtained by N. van Ryssel-
berghe, the Belgian meteorologist, who's e
i very ingenious meteorograph was shown at
the Paris Exhibition last year. He has sue
/ ceeded in eliminating from Geographic
i communication through wire the inductive
: action Of a neighboring telegraph wire which
gives a cracking kind of noise in the
d telephone. Moreover, he can employ the
&c same wire at the same time for both tel
y ephonic and telegraphlc work. Thus, in
recent permit message was sent from
- Brussels by the Morse telegraph to the
u directing engineer OF telegraphs in Paris,
and an oral message was distinctly heard
