JULIUsTowE.--
This neighborhood is in a state of
excitement over "David's mother"
A few weeks ago, Rev. Mr.. Bentley
gave out the question "who was Da-
vid's mother9" to the Sabbath school
scholars, offering prize to any Of
them who would give him the correct
answer. The children eager to obtain
the prize, sought the assistance of
their parents and friends and the
whole community, and thus the To-
terest became general. Bibles were
brought from their hiding places
where they had been untouched and
unseen for months, if not for years,
and diligent search commenced. It
was discussed in the stores, hotels,
shops and on the streets-wherever
two met it became the leading topic
Of conversation, where friends and
neighbors met, it was not the weather
that claimed their attention, but "who
was David's mother7" The good book
was produced 10 the stores, if not in
the hotels, and arguments clinched
by those who thought they had found
a clue to the mystery. Others were
able to quote numerous passages con-
tanning an account Of the house of
Jesse. On Christmas night, Rev.
Mr.. Bentley gave lecture on 'sthe
life aud parentage Of David" It
having been previously announced
there was large audience eager to
hear the name Of "David's mother"
Mr.. Bsntley's answer to the question
did not meet their approval and many
felt as though they had been duped
and some entertained a feeling Of
hostility 10 think that they had looked
into the Bible and met with disap.
pointment was more than they could
bear.
The Sabbath school children held
their Christmas fsstivity on Tuesday
evening. The church was crowded
and the evening passed off quietly
and pleasantly with but one exception.
A man under the influence Of liquor
called out to Mr.. Bentley, "please,
your honor, you amt told who David's
mother wasl" which caused quite a
commotion.
1t is question with some whether
it Is q nuisance or an object Of pity
to have man to fall before their
doors, under the influence Of whiskey.
A young lady remarked recently on
viewing such scene, at makes me
mad to think that such a man can 90
to the polls and vote and we can't"

DROWNED.

A colored boy, about twenty years of age,
was accidentally drowned just outside of
the Illinois Central railroad company's
wharf-boat yesterday afternoon, about 1 80
o'clock.
The boy, in company with friend, en-
tered skiff with the intention of crossing
the river for East Cairo to collect some
money due him there. They entered the
skiff below the wharf boat and started to
pull up stream to APPOINT above the wharf
boat in order not to be carried too far down
in crossing. But neither of the boys had
much experience in the art of rowing a
skiff and when they had reached to about
the centre of the wharf-boat, they found it
impossible TO make any Roadway against
the current. They therefore drew in their
oars, stood up in the bottom Of the skif,
and proceeded to draw themselves up stream
by means of the guard OF the wharf boat
Young Robertson was in the bow of the
skiff and was pulling with more energy
than caution. The current was very strong
and at moment when Robertson had taken
new hold of the guard, swept the skifl
away from under him, leaving him to hang
on the ends of his fingere with his feet
dangling in the wsther. The other negro,
who had managed to remain in the skif.
made frantic endeavors to push the skill

There are three new cases OF yarioloid
at the pest house, all Of which developed
during this week; they are all negroes and
we're all inmates of the marine hospital
where they contracted the disease from the
man Black, also marine patient who was
foisted upon Cairo by the authori-
ties of Paducah. The names of the
patients are Anthony Jones, Fill
more Ward and Arthur Hamilton.
The first named was taken to the pest
house on Sunday night, the second, Mon.
day, and the third last night or yesterday
afternoon. Neither one of them has
avery serious case of the disease at pres
ent, though it may result fatally in the case
of the second Fillmore Ward, who is also
afflicted with typhoid fever. II is expectei
that another man. named Maxwell, will
also deveope the disease in mild form,
either to-da yor tomorrow. Jones, Hamil-
ton and Maxwell have been in the hospital
too long TO permit the assumption that they
contracted the disease before they entered
it, hence they must have gotten it from the
man Black, who was permitted to remain
there until the pest house could be prepared
for his reception. Fillmore Ward has been
there only eight days, and be may have
had the germs of the disease in his system
at the time he entered the hospital, but it
is more likely that he got it from the same
cause which inflicted it upon the other
three, the Paducah man, Black. There are
as yet no signs of the disease
outside Of the marine hospital
and the pest-house. Although there have
been rumors locating cases in various por-
tons of the city, there have been none
anywhere. The citizens Of Cairo are still
entirely free from the first sign of the dis
ease and, thanks to thorough vaccination,
are likely to remain SO. Elsewhere in the
state there seems to be no abatement in the
disease. New cases continue to be re-
ported in places, where the disease is known
to have gained and maintained a foothold,
and it is gradually spreading to other
places. In view of these facts, tits of i'm
portance that every person in this
city, who has not yet been inoculated with
bovine virus, should submit him or herself
to the operation at once.

Last Saturday two convicts escaped
from the Southern Illinois penitentiary at
Chester. They were Thomas Collins and
John Coney. The former was convicted
in st. Clair county for robbery, he being
the noted GartSde Harmony aud Donk

confinement. A reward of fifty dollars was
offered for the capture and delivery at the
penitentiary Of either of these men. A
postal card giving the above facts and a
description Of the men was sent TO Chief
Myers, and was followed yesterday by a
letter stating that the fugitives had been re.
captured in the vicinity of Chester.

back to his partner, but without success.
Robertson was compelled to Let go his hold
before any assistance could reach him, and
he went under the water never to rise
again alive and leaving only his hat be-
hind, which was picked up by the man in
the skiff.
Young Robertson had been employed at
East Cairo on one of the railroads, and it
was money due him from one of these
which it is said he intended to get. Recent
ly he has been employed in different ways
at The Halliday. His body had not been
discovered late last night.
