The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-08-04


depraved woman, not only capable Of, but
persistcnfy guilty Of all the lowest crimes
that curse humankind. There is not po-
lice court IN the city, and there has not
been for years, that is not and has not been
| familiar with the name and face of this
woman there are few pages in the police
| docket that do not bear this familiar name,
and there are few crimes of minor char
acter with which the woman has not bee n
charged and for which she has not been
punished. The listOf her fences equaled
in ength only by her board bill with the
city, and her terms in the city Jail are, in
the aggregate, almost coextensive with the
days OF her maturity. But she has always
managed to be guilty of only such oifenses
as would not lay her liable to term in
the pcnetentiary, which, for the sake of the
city, is to be regretted, Yesterday she was
up before Magistrate Comings for disor-
derby conduct; she was found guilty, of
course, (she is always guilty. and fined five
dollars and costs failing 10 pay which, she
went to Jail as usual.
AT the corner Of Fourteenth and Pop
lar streets yesterday afternoon a russell be-
tween two negro women occurred which
was quick, decisive and destructive of
female head gear and wearing apparel to
a surprising extent The fight was over
before crowd could gather and hardly a.
word was spoken by either of the con
testants In this case it was learned that q
man was at the bottom Of the trouble. II
is believed, but not known, that these two
women and the man are the same that
caused n series of scnes on Washington
| Avenue above Fourteenth ST Tuesday night.
The man and one of the women were walk.
ing arm in arm up the street, and were be
ing persistently followed by the 9th wo-
man who was the mans wife, Whenever
| the latter woman came too close to the
couple the man would turn upon her and
assault her. Once or twice he knocked
her from the sidewalk, but she would not to
be so easily put down. She would rise again
and haunt the faithless husbands foot step,
only to be again assaulted and again sent
headlong into the weeds. The performance
became monotonous finally to several young
men who looked on with much interest for
while, and they CALAMITY interferred on
behalf of the maltreated woman and stop
ped the public show.
Work on the intended artesian well on
the premises of Mr.. Jacob Kline near the
Mississippi evee was resumed yes.
terday morning. The work had
----- .-..v.ruptvu a week before by the
breaking and dropping down of small
pipe within the larger one, used for boring
and pumping. The work now in progress
is an attempt to geti the piece of broken
pipe out which will be a very difficult piece
OF work, as tits nearly2 hundred feet down
in the ground and stuck fast in the quick
sand The well is now about one hundred
and ninety-hve feet deep, and has already
cost much more than WAS anticipated even
by Mr. Gerould who is an experienced
welldriver. Mr.. Gerould is of opinion
thatitwiIl be necessary to 70 but fifty feet
more in order to get a continuous flow of
fine water. He thinks that at a depth of
two hundred and fifty feet a strata of clay
and stone will be reached which will give
the supply of water wanted At depth
OF about two hundred and two feet the en-
gineers having in charge the borings in the
Ohio river for the Illinois Central railroad
company recently, found such a strata and
oOtSined also plentiful, voluntary flow of
good well water. Mr.. Gerould believes
that this same strata extends to the point
where he is sinking Mr. Hines well, and
that there it will be reached at the depth
stated. When the work was INTERRUPTED
about ten days ago, the well was being
sunk at the rate Of about tgo and half
teetper day, and it is likely that after the
distractions will have been removed the
work will continue at nearly the same rate
OF speed until the required depth is reach
ed. 1t is to be hoped that Messrs. Gerould |
and Kline will not allow the unexpected
difficulties with which they have met to
discourage them, for the we'll in perfect
operation would be an achievement of which
they might well be proud and from which
thecommunity at large might derive last
ing benefit.
