old and young Cairoites, who has for the
last eight years been engaged in newsps-
per work IN Fredonia, Kan, Is 10 the city
on visit to his mother and sisters on
Twelfth street. Since leaving Cairo, Will

The city has rock pile at last a
small one, but beginning. There is not
enough of it to utilize the husbanded ener-
gy of the tramps and vags and other law
breakers who wander around in strange
places and lose themselves in the city Jail,
but enough for starting point. The

The alarm Of fire yesterday forenoon
was occasioned by the partial burning of
the one-story tenement house on Poplar,
corner Thirteenth street. An old woman
occupying one of the rooms, it seems, built
fire leaving it to run in a sort of "go.as-
you.plesse" manner, and it chose to set
fire to the bed from which it was CON-
municsted to the wood work of the build
ing. The fire companies were promptly on
hand-the Hibernlans getting first water
and the fire was quickly placed under
control, not however until the house had
been wrecked and the roof, partitions and

fine establishment of Smith Bros. and P. J.
Thistlewood's residence would have been
placed in imminent danger. The building
was owned by Smith Bros. and insured
for $500 with H. II. Candee's agency

negro murderer of.his mother-in-law, in
Paducah, Friday, has spread the greatest
CONSERVATION among the negro fraternity
of our nelghboring city, extending even in
to the country adjacent. These simple
minded people imagine the murderers
ghost to be walking about in the dead
hour of night in search of those who were
in any way instrumental in his death. The
black prisoners confined in jail huddle to-
gether as night falls in the most Affect
fright, all agreeing that the disembodied
spirit can be plainly distinguished, shaking
the fastenings Of the jail doors or rafting
the strong iron bars which guard the win
dows, generally making night hideous and
horrible. A gentleman on the Fowler said
yesterday that a small settlement of ne
groes below PNducah would positively be
depopulated in the next two or three days
should the ghoslly visitations from Fetch
er's vermilion home continue. The poor
negroes at the gathering of night HE them
