The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-08-14

by the grand commander, and who had his
expenses to and from San Francisco paid,
was compelled to forego the honor and the
pleasure on account of his professional en-.
gagements at home, among which were the
care OF several patients upon whom he had
performed delicate surgical operations. But
CAIRO Commandery is well represented in
the excursion, nevertheless, by three mem.
bers who are not residents of Cairo, namely
MIR. Cricket, OF Carbondale Mr.. Hall, of
Makandai and Mr.. Hamilton, of Murphys-
boro.
Captain Charles Baughman did q
noble deed last evening. While the steamer
City of Cairo lay at the wharf, a negro
woman came aboard carryinga basket and
box, She wanted to take passage on the
boat. But few minutes later burly
negro came aboard, who claimed to be the
womans husband and charged her with
having taken things out of the house that
belonged to him. A few words were
exchanged when the black brute bounced
upon the woman, beat and kicked her re-
peatedy, jcrked the basket from her arm
and kicked her again so that she rolled over
on the deck, and he was about to repeat the
lnhuman act evidently much to the
entertainment of a crowd of roustabouts,
when Captain Baughman, who was standing
on the whart-boat guards, having his at
tention called to the disturbance, took in
the situation at glance, sprang over the
guards onto the boat and with series of
weIl'directed blows from his good right
arm sent the black animal sprsuing upon
the decktrom which he arose after little and
beat hasty retreat up the evee Captain
Blughman complimeuted the crowd of
idle ookers-on upon their msnliness and
then left to finish his watermelon.
The match game of base ball last Sun
day between the Eckfords, Of PAducah, and
the Chicago Clothing House nine, of Cairo
on the Twenty.eghth street grounds was
one Of the best games played in this city
for a number OF years. The boys were all
in good trim; the weather was fine; the
ground WAS IN excellent condition. Tue
Psducah club came down on covered
barge towed by little boat called Mary
and quite crowd came with them. They
were received by the Caro- nine and CON
yeyed by street Car immediately 10 the
ground. The game commenced about 80
O'Clock and concluded just before 6o'clock
1t was witnessed by large company of
citizens including many ladies'. In the first
three innings the Eckfords made two tallies
10 the Cairos none but after that the latter
club woke up and throughout the remain.
ing six innings did some very good playing,
making seven talies and permitting the
Eckfords to make only one in addition 70
the other two they had scored in the first
three innings, so that the game stood seven
TO three IN favor OF the Cairo club, when it
closed. After the game was over The Cairo
boys made up collection among them
selves and from the lookers.ou, to aid the
Ecktords to defray the expenses of their
trip, About SEQ we're raised 10 this way
and turned over to the Eckfords. 1t sp.
pears that this year the Eckfords depended
entirely upon their home talent as Cairo
did, and The result is that last years success
does not follow IT, The boys played very
well indeed; they made several brilliant
dashes, but they are certainly no match for
Cairo's crack nine Il they would stand
any chance Of winning here, they will have
to trot out 8 professional or two again.
