suspicion that II was stolen, the Ofncer let
the negro go and returned the ring to its
owner. The ring was worth fifteen or
eighteen dollars.
The young turner's of Bsllevile have
rendered their services to the city council
of that city, as hook and ladder COM
pany, provided the council would furnish
them the necessary outfit. We have in
Cairo also number of young men, who are
more or less experts in athletic sports
heretofore members of the now defunct
Turner society. A similar offer from suf
ficient number of them would perhaps in.
duce the council here to do something for
them in the way of supplying an outfit.
M ,strate Comings yesterday after
noon married Michael Cahill, red-hot
Irish-American Democrat, of Chicago, to
Miss Fannie Scott, cosl-black African
Republican, of Greenfield, Tenn. The sf-
fair may be regarded as emblematic of a
fusion of the parties; but it should be
borne in mind that Republicanism had the
weaker representative, very likely made all
the concessions and will probably be "the
under dog" in the matrimonial set-tos
that are certain to occur.
during one Of the recent cold days
so We loarn from an exchange, the passen-
gers on train Oh the Cairo division of the
Wabash had lively time Of it. The en-
CINE froze up, near Marshall, and, the wires
being down, could not send for relief, as
no one would undertake to walk to the
next town. About two o'clock in the morn
ing the coal gave out in the cars, and as the
doors were locked to prevent the passengers
making an attack on the tender, the freez-
ing people began breaking up seats and
feeding them to the stove, which had the
desired effect.
The war between the Vienna Times
and the Marion Monitor, Egyptian Press
and Creal Springs Union counties unsba-
ted. The Times claims to have been prom.
ised $25 for telling ell that is good about
the springs, and after it had performed it's
part of the agreement the promised money
was refused, which caused it to retrsct
what good it had said about the springs
and to substitute aseries of damaging chsrg-
es against them and their owners. The
other papers named have been defending
the springs against these attacks and chsrg-
ed the Times with an attempt to blackmsil
Messrs. Cresl and others, whereupon the
Times calls the editors OF these estimable
contemporaries malicious liars and infsm-
GUS scoundrels." Brother Parker is angry,
andin his anger he beats the muddy, sinking
pool of irresponsible, personal journalism
into foam. He is doubtless honest in all
that he SAYS; he may also be right, but We
protest that he is not esthetic.
Two men, white man named Snyder
and negro, who occupy the farm of Mr..
Hiram Hill, 10 Kentucky, came over in
skiff yesterday for empty corn sacks. They
bought i've hundred of these from Mr.. r.
Fl. Cunningham and having loaded them
in the skiff got in themselves and started |
back home about 80 O'clock in the after. |
noon. They went out just above the Illinois
Central wharfboat at which the steamer
Powell was lying at the time; but when
they got opposite the bow Of the boat the
current was so strong that they were drawn
under the guards Of the boat in spite of
their efforts to avoid it. The white man,
seeing the imminent danger Of being drawn
under the wheel of the boat graspsd some
of the timbers under the guards and let the
skiff g. rom under him, but the negro re-
mainei in the skif, went down with it I'm.
der the wheel of the boat and was drowned.
The sklff and sacks had not been recovered
last evening. The white man was rescued
from his psrilous position.
