The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-10-11

grand strains the performer produced from
his instrument that at the close of the per-
formance they presented him with fine
watch and CHAIN as token of their admi-
ration. Mr. Remenyi has acknowledged
the receipt of the bouqet from Mrs. Gold
slime in the following letter, written by
him from Fulton, Ky, while enroute to
Louisville:
DEAR MADAN:-Not having the honor
and pleasure to know you personally, was
agreeably surprised to receive last night at
the Concert | gave in Cairo, handsome
bouquet with your name hanging on the
| floral tribute hoped to see you somehow
or other, but unfortunately you made not
your appearance, and so must take refuge
to these lines in thanking you with all my
heart for your kind and gracious gift
hope | will have the pleasure to see
you next April, when will have again the
honor to play at Cairo.
Your very obedient servant,
Ed REMENYI.
Those who attended the performance will
be delighted to learn that "the old gentle
man fiddler will return in April and it IS
certainly to be hoped that then the Opera
House will be crowded. 1t may be the
last time many in Cairo will have an oppor-
tunity to hear really great violinst.
The county road, 50 far AS it has been
gravelled, is in fine condition. The late
rains have made the gravel pack down
solidly causlnglt to present firm surface.
At several points, however, the gravel has
been cut away some by vehicles, which was
done while the gravel was yet dry. These
are being repaired at the instance of Com
missioner Halliday. The work Of gravel
ling has been interrupted by late rains, but
progresses rapidly enough and will be fin
ished in week or two. 1t would have
been desirable, of course, to have the gravel
spread over the road about six feet wider,
but the county funds will not permit 1t
right now. At some future time the gravel
covering may be wdened, and, in the
meantime, we will have as fine a highway
for pleasure drives or other purposes as any
county in the state can boast Of.
A jury at Burlington, Kan, went out on
q strike last week and came off victorious.
Ii occurred IN this way; In a criminal
case before justice, the jury retired to
make up the verdict. Upon returning to
court, the justice asked if they had agreed
upon verdict. The foreman replied that
they had, but would not render it until
their fees as jurymen were paid; that they
had been taken from their business and
made involuntary attendants At the trial for
a small fee and 10 the serious detriment of
their business; that they considered their
rights as important as those involved in the
trial; that frequently they had lost even the
small fees to which they were entitled by
law; they, therefore, would not give YER
dict until they got their money. The court
insisted, but the jury held that while the
law compelled them to sit as jurors it did
not compel them to render verdict, and
they would not do 50 until paid their fees.
The parties to the case then consulted and
paid the fees. The jury took the money
and returned their verdict, and were dis
charged. II this strike is catching, and is
made a precedent by justice juries general
ly, htigsnts will be a little careful how
they call for their peers to sit on their
cases.
