The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-11-22

rescue; reached the premises; dimly dis.
cerned the outlines of man on the porch
of the residence, made dash for the fell
low, and grasping him with grip Of iron
by both arms, jerked him out of the front
gate with an expression of more force than
| elegance, and - discovered that he had the
husband of the lady who had called him.
Explanations were not needed, and a good
laugh was had all around at the neat man
ner in which the joker had been made the
victim of his own joke OO
The depression at the foot of Tenth
street will be filled up when the work of
graveiug Ohio levee street from Fourteenth
street down, ordered by the city council at
its last meeting, is being done. The levee
will have to be scraped in places and the
scrapings, it is thought, will be enough to
fill the cavity. The street committee will
have the work begun as soon as the gravel
can be procured and will then push it to
completion as rspily as possible. The GOV.
ering for the old engine-room should receive
the committees attention about the same
time
Exciting time may be expected in
Washington when congress meets two weeks
from to-day. There are about fourteen
patriots who desire to serve their native
land as speaker of the house, and about
twelve dozen applicants for each OF the
other places that are to be filed in the new
deal in the southern end OF the capitol.
Col. Bill Morrison, of the Bellevile district,
has told Col. Springer that he would like
to give an Illinois man lift for the speak
ership, but can't afford to bet on lame
horse Randall and Carlisle are still the
favorites.
"A negro named Frank Dudy, driver of
a team nearly ran his team over Chief
Myers and Constable Martin as they crossed
Washington avenue at Eighth street last
night. They saved themselves from injury
only by jumping quickly to either side A
lady or child would certainly have been
run over. He was ordered to appear before
Justice Robinson to-day. Pedestrians and
teams have an equal right of way over
street crossings, and team should not 60
faster when approaching crossing than
would enable the driver to stop it or turn
out of he way, if pedestrian is moving
over the crossing at an ordinary gait. This
is the law governing such cases and drivers
should be particular to observe it.
"A fine milk COW belonging to Mr..
Thomas Sullivan, on Third street, has been
missed for some time; but diligent search
discovered her yesterday lying dead in the
cotton woods about opposite the Mobile and
Ohio railroad depot She was shot in the
breast with ball of some kind and the
shot had proved fatal. Mr. Sullivan be-
lieves that the shot was a random one,
fired BY some one who was practicing or
shooting at birds. MIR. Sullivan had refused
$50 for the COW but recently. An effort
will be made by Chief Myers to break up
the habit of pistol and gun practice outside
the levee. 1t should be borne in mind that
the city limits extend to the middle OF the
channel Of the rivers on either side of the
city and that shooting within the city
limits is Unable offence.
Dr. C. w. Dunning is at home again.
1t appears that bis trip to St. Louis WAS a
very rapid one. He was back yeste rday
evening He says he wasn't away at all,
and that bis patients, most of whom read
THE BULLETIN, mentally and verbally cal
umnated him for deserving them without
warning, and some of them even bias
phemed him most energetically. But the
DR.. is certainly mistaken when he says
that he was not away from the city yester
day, and therefore when he proceeded yes
terday TO shift the deluge of unkind adjec-
tives and things to which he says he was
subjected by his patients, from himself onto
THE BULLETIN scribe, adding to the flood
mixed torrent Of strictly original verbal
impiety and MIGRATING humor, he certainly
got more than even.
Col. Dennis and Major Barbour were
still in the city yesterday, gathering mate
rial for the Cairo department of the elegant
book the Illinois Central railroad company
intends to publish. They found it neces-
sary to remain here longer than they at
first anticipated, in part, no doubt, be-
cause they found more material worthy OF
note than they expected to find. Cairo
will be gwen ten pages in the book, de-
scriptve of her many advantages in every
direction, together with numerous fine H.
Illustrations of her principal buildings.
Many thousand copies of the book will be
circulated in all parts OF the country.
