with fear and trembling, lest that too be
wrenched from him. We admire man OF
broad views, Of enterprise, activity, compa'
iveness, who will not SIT down In idleness
and let the world wag as it will; and il he
is wsgged into the slough of squallor
Law there like Il sewed oyster and charge
bis deplorable condition to circumstances
over which he cad no control" We have
only contempt for the man wEo will not
even try to overctme adverse circumstances,
and so has the world at large.
An engine and fat-car, while going
down the Wabash incline at the point
Tuesday night about $3.50 o'clock, met
with an accident that might have resulted
in the death of two or more men. AT the
point near the cradle water supply pipe
extends over the track, used to supply the
engines with water. In some way this pipe
changed its position, and when the engine
and car reached 1t, it caught in the trucks
OF the car and threw it from the track down
into the river. Fortunately the couplings
between the tender and car broke, and the
engine and tender remained on the track
Two brakemen were on the flat-car when 1t
went overheard, and both went into the
river. One received only ducking while
the other received also an injury in the side
which compelled him to lay off. The car
was smashed

Several rumors ahoat as to the manner
Of treatment accorded the delinquent mem
bers of the Halliday Guards, are erroneous,
These young men were only given gentle
repremand, but were warned that repe-
ton of their offence would be punished 10
the extent of the law, which Is fine of
| $40 and three months IN the penitentiary,
The Halliday Guards were one Of the best
behaved bodies on the ground at Spring
field and carried off a large share of the
honors. Their elegant flag, presented to
them by the ladies Of Cairo, was the regi-
mental flag in the drill they we're one of
the best and in the sham battle, were placed
in the lead. The governor also compi-
mented them by applauding them during
their drill They made a good record for
themselves and may rest with satisfaction
upon their laurels.
Mr. Cregier was in Chicago when the
streets of that city were filled up from five
to fifteen feet and he aided in the work.
He knows what that filing cost the city of
Chicago and what it brought in return. Mr.,
Cregier has been in Cairo, and was thor
oughly posted as to her condition with ref
erence to the riverw when he gave his opinion
and advice. A survey and elaborate esti-
mate would establish only the exact cost Of
the filling needed, nothing more; but an cX.
perienced civil engineer needs not to know
to yard how much dirt it will take, nor
to cent how much it will cost to place it
where it is needed, in order to tell from the
and-point OF civil engineer alone, wheth-
er it would be practicable to gradually
raise the streets of city of ten thousand
people twelve feetin order to gain the ines.
Unable advantage OF uninterrupted surface
drainage and safety from overflow.
For several reasons chief among them
being that no satisfactory arrangements
could be made with the St. Louis & CAIRO
road Tor transportation, the Arab Fire com.
pany has temporarily abandoned its in.
tended trip to the mountains in the upper
end Of this country. The company's farm"
will, therefore, remain uuinvsded by hL-
man being tor several months or years
longer But there Is no danger of Its
fading away, for Vt is a rock bound, rock
ribbed, rock-bottomed and rock.covered
chunk ol"tmber landn 1t laid too heav-
, ly upon the earth's stomach, and the earth
cast it up about the time of the historical
, New Madrid earthquake. After this ey.
perience the earth will probably not swal.
