The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-09-07

On tuesday near Harrisburg, the
wife Of William Chase, met with
terrible calamity Sunday morning.
Feeling rather badly in consequence of
having set up with sick neighor, she took
from shelf what she supposed was the
medicine she was in the habit of taking
at times and swallowed teaspoonful. AL.
mostimmedistely she was thrown into con-
WILSON'S, and after twenty three minutes
suffering died in great agony. The liquid
proved to be silver-plating fluid purchased
the day before by her husband
The gossip of the newspapers relative
to changes in the general management of
Gould's southwestern system Of railroads is
set at rest by the official order just promul-
gated. Col. Hoxie, who has been elected
third vice-president, has full charges of the
traffic and land departments, which he has
shown himself thoroughly competent to
conduct most successfully. The other de-
partments of the entire system will be I'M
der charge of Col. Talmage, and includes
the general transportation management of
over 5000 miles of ralroad-mo than
any other manager has to superintend in
this or any other country. II is heavy
task, but Talmage is equal to it.
A dispatch from Mt. Vernon says:
"This city has been threatened with a
mob growing out of the effort to close sa-
looms on Sunday and at II o'clock at
nights. About o'clock Friday morning
the residence of John Paul, city marshall
was fired by the mob and burned to the
ground. The deputy city marshall was
terribly beaten by gang of roughs. The
telegraph and telephone were guarded to
prevent communication with neighboring
towns" Every manifestation of anger on
the part of liquor dealers strengthens the
Prohibition movement, and the outrageous
action of the Mt. Vernon liquor element
will be condemned by none more severely
than by the respectable liquor dealers
everywhere.
Some good work needs to be done on
tn. road in Kentucky leading from the
ferry boat landing out towards the hills.
The farmers in Ballard aud in adjoining
counties, who are in the habit of doing
their trading with Cairo merchants, are
complaining that the bad condition of the
road prevents them from coming here and
compels them to sell their produce and
purchase their supplies in Wicklitfe. The
county authorities of Ballard are well
pleased with this condition of things be-
cause it is to the interest of Wickliffe, and
they refuse to expend cent in the i'm
provement of the road mentioned If the
road is to be placid in condition so
that the Kentucky farmers can patronize
CAIRO, then Cairo enterprise must do the
work A good, permenent road leading
from the ferry landing to the hills, dis
lance of about three miles, would be a
great benefit to Cairo merchants.
A colored man named Charles Brown,
who was employed on Walnut street yes.
terday In taking up the slack line as ii
came from the crab used in moving the
frame building which formerly stood on
the lots upon which Mesrs Goldstine g.
Rosenwater purpose to erect their new bust
ness house, was badly injured. He was
sitting near the crab intent upon his work
when the pins which held the machine in
position, having evidently been carelessly
driven, gave way under the heavy strain
placed upon them while moving the house.
The crab flew out of place and threw Brown
yiOleHtly up in the air. He struck the
ground on both his hands, fracturing his
right arm near the wrist and breaking the
left arm near the elbow. DR.. Parker gave
the injured man needed surgical attention
Brown is about fifty years of age and suf-
fers greatly from his wounds.
1t his remarks before the tariff com
mission at Detroit Mr.. Richard Hawley OF
that city quoted the figures showing the
increase Of the aggregate wealth Tor the va.
rious decades from 1880 to 1880. In the
first decade Of this period -lS30-lS40 --
we had had high protective tariff, and
the percentage of increase was very small
30 per cent. In the ncxt--lS40-5 80 -
the protective features Of the tariff were
materially modified, and there was an I'm
portant gain in the ratio q M increase tC

1850 Cove had practical free trade
