The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-04-19

Mr., Lewis is party and in which the
slgners of the paper will, no doubt, be
called upon to testify to the statements set
forth in the paper, by one or the other of
the parties.
Two barge loads of gravel for the city
are lying at the foot of Eighth Street and
preparations are in progress for unloading
Them 1t is the gravel contracted for by the
City Council with Mr.. Louis Galley, and is
to be used on Ohio Esvee and other streets
when the weather and conditions of the
streets will permit.
"A negro named George Lovett arrived
here by stem r Montana Thursday, and,
being sick, he went to the house of friend
on Washington Avenue above Thirteenth
Street, where he died during Thursday
night, of pneumonia. A negro woman
died in another house in the same neigh
borhood the same night, but not of any coz
tageous disease.
AS may be seen from a call published
elsewhere, the Democrats of the thrty-tour
counties composing this, the Fourth Appel
late Court District and the Southern Grand
| Division of Illinois, are to meet in conven-
ton at Centralia on Wednesday, May 2lst
to nominate candidate for Supreme Court
Clerk, candidate for Appellate Court
Clerk aad to select new Central Commit
| tee.
Another interesting fact in connection
| with the probable reduction of the number
of saloons in the city next month and the
increase OF revenue from those that remain,
Is that, of the eighteen or twenty who have
so far given positive assurances of a deter
| mination to retire, not single one will
| leave the house in which he has done bust
ness unoCcupied-no house will be emp
tied by reason of the reduction All Of
them will continue to occupy the houses in
which they carried on tie liquor business
and nearly all of them will continue in
some other business. Thus high license,
pure and simple, unadulterated by that $50
beer sop, is an unsdulterated blessing to
the city.
-"Pinch" made a desperate effort
Thursday night to redeem itself after a
long spell of comparative quiet that is not
its normal state. Six of its female denizens,
| thihking perhaps that it was about time to
let the public know that pinch" WAS still
ION deck" made the neighborhood mig
while they engaged in a general rough and
tumble fight. Officers Mahanny, Boughnsr
aad Hogan took charge of them and Mag
istrate Comings yesterday fined the disturb
ers S. and costs each, which all but two of
them paid or will pay. The city treasurer
will get nearly as much out of this nights
work as was gotten out Of all the fines
assessed by the Magistrate during all last
month, which was only sci.
The B. & 0. is out with another decid-
ed novelty, this time in the shape of book
of travel, which is an unique as it is artis-
tic. It is an entirely new departure in
book making, the different pages disclos-
ing most extended variety of tints, while
the margin, usually blank, is in this H.
stance completely taken up with studies in
blending colors. The ingenuity of clever
artists have been demonstrated in capitally
drawn creatures-nOt broad, but laughably
effective-of almost every imaginable phase
of life, and, on the whole, it may truly be
said to be totally unlike any other publica-
ton ever issued. 1t is entitled son Pic
turesque B, & O., and General Passenger
Agent Lord, at Baltimore, will, with his
accustomed kindness forward by mail upon
request.
