The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-04-29

the following, which is substantially
the same argument used by The BULLETIN
in defence Of Its course: "Ths uncertainty
is much worse than the disease itself in
creating Scare" Our authorities arc
doing all they can TO ferret out and guard
houses where the disease exists but if il is
concealed from them they can do nothing.
Our people should assist all in their power,
not only by pointing out suspicious cases to
the officers, but cleaning up their premises,
using disiniectants literally, and doing
everything else possible to put the city in a
clearly condition" The old lady's adj
advice is good for once and, also for once,
it would be followed by the people had it
been given sooner. AS it is the old lady
follows in the track of The BULLETIN and
the people, who have been advising and
doing good work in the way of cleaning up
for a week or more.
Yesterday afternoon officers Mahanny
and Martin arrested a young fellow calling
himself Donnelly for whom the officers of
this city have been looking for some time.
He is the same young fellow
who some time ago, with the
assistance Of a notorious negro rough and
sharper named "Black Hawk, held up and
robbed a young countryman on Railroad
avenue. They induced the young fellow
to accompany them to the street named,
and at the first opportunity one caught him
around the neck with his arm and held
him up while the other robbed him of
pocket book containing about sixty dollars.
They took out forty dollars and handed
the young fellow back twenty and his
pocket hook. Hawk was captured soon
after and committed to Jail in default of
bail, but his partner made good his escape
and succeeded in gliding the officers until
yesterday When discovered he was sitting
on the ground below the Wabash incline,
and when he saw the officers, he made an
effort to get "under cover; but his purpose
was guessed, he was commanded to halt
and he did. In the way of dress he was
prepared for an emergency. He wore a
soft black hat and white shirt; bat in his
pocket he had cap and over his white
shirt he wore blush grey tlannell shirt
which was open in front and turned back
under his coat so that il could not be
seen. Day before yesterday he
attempted to hire stranger
stopping at the Mockler House, who was
known 20 be stock raiser and have con-
siderable money, up to the new elevator
with the ostensible purpose of showing
HIM some fine cattle. Having gotten the
stranger there Donnelly would, with the
assistance Of q negro whom he had already
hired and posted, very likely have played
confidence game on the stranger or robbed
him. And having succeeded in this and
being pursued, he would have doIed his
soft hat and donned his cap, buttoned his
gray flannel shirt over his white shirt front,
smutted or distorted his face, limped, and
suffered, in short he would have been an
entirely different man from what he
was minute before. But
the stranger seems to have been too
sharp; he informed Constable W. II. Schut-
ter of the affair." and he arrested Donnelly
and took him before Justice Robinson for
trial, The stranger failed to appear, how
ever, and therefore Donnelly had to be
discharged. But he is in jail now awaiting
trial for a more serious charge than "con-
idencing"
Boston, April 2Gth.-Advices from
Concord tonight state that Ralph Waldo
Emerson is resting quietly, though much
weaker. 1t is apparent that his condition
is gradually growing weaker and more
alarming. 1t has been feared all along
that when the crisis was reached he would
not be able to meet it successfully, and
now that such stage of the case is near
at hand either good or bad news may be
given with some degree of detitness and
probability. Mrs Emerson, nee Lidian
Jackson, of Plymouth, who has been the
faithful companion Of the philosopher for
nearly half century, is constantly at his
bedside, and he indicates by motions that
she can attend him to the best satisfaction
more than any one else. His son Edward
Waldo, the physician in charge of the case
his unmarried daughter Ellen, and his
married daughter Edith Mrs. w. II. For
bes) are all with him. Mr.. Emerson is
nearing his eightieth birth day-he was
born on the 25th of May 1S03-and can
not in all human probability long withstand
o disease. John Owen, his lifelong friend
and biographer, died yesterday in Boston,
