The Newport Prophets" HallucinatiOn.
NEWPORT, R. l., Dec. 22,-Two physicians
have declared that Frederick W. Sprague,
the Newport prophet is insane, and he will
be taken to the state asylum. Sprague is q
we'll known and eccentric character, who for
years has been publishing and distributing
illustrated pamphlets to show that George
Washington was the Messiah. He spent all
his money in advocating his peculiar doc
trine. He has denied himself the luxufies
of life and dressed in a very peculiar and
Iudicrous manner A few weeks ago he
built covered wagon, the sides of which
he painted and lettered with Scripture quo
tations. 1t was labelled The Blazing Star.
He fitted it up AMI lived inside. A few days
ago he ran after some boys who have been
annoying him, and sprained his leg. He has
been in the wagon ever since, no one know
ing what had become of him. Thursday
night he refused to leave his cold quarters.

THE RED CROSS.

The Red Cross relief expedition on the
Josh. V. Throop arrived at the wharf to-day.
This enterprise is noteworthy for the char
scter of the relief afforded and for the wlso
discrimination with which it is applied.
The object 10 view IS to enable refugees to
60 back into their homes with such an outfit
of bedding, clothing and furniture, as will
make them comfortable until they are in
situation TO keep themselves. The Throop
was stocked with a supply of clothing,
bedding, fuel and medical supplies at
Evansville by the agents of the Red Cross
Association Prominent among whom were
Miss Clara Barton, President of the Nation
al Association; Capt. Coghill, of s.. Louis !;
Rev. Z. /. Calvin, Of Chicago; and DR.. ]. B.
HubbelI, Field Agent Of the Association.
The outfit was complete. The stores abund-
ant in quantity and judiciously assorted,
contained everything that the wants of des-
titute people could suggest.
The Throop left Evansville on Saturday
and has stopped at every point on the way
to Cairo where there seemed to be any need
for aid, issuing directly from the boat, or
leaving in the hands of competent commit
tees, the supplies most needed by the suffer.
ing families along the route. AT Shawnee
town, Mt. Vernon, Smithland and other
points coal was left to supply the wants of
all who were out of fuel and unable to pur-
chase. Families we're supplied with bed
ding and clothing at West Franklin, Mt.
Vernon, Ross Landing, Weston, Csseyville,
Fords Ferry, Cavein-R)ck, Hurricane,
Elizabelhtown, CArrsville, Golconda and
Smithland. The boat stopped long enough at
Metropolis, Joppa, New. Liberty and other
points to have committees examine into
the wants of the people and to make out
reouisi,ions which are to be filled on the
return trip. The work done under the
direction oS the Red Gross is always prac-
ticsble. Medical supplies were literally dis
tributed along the route. Money was left at
every point where money seemed to be the
thing to relieve peculiar classes of suffering
not otherwise provided against. $1,000 was
left at Shawueotown, $500 at Caseyville aud
other sums varying in amount at nearly
every point. The work is largely in the
hands of ladies, and the committees ap-
pointed to distribute stores consist almost
exclusively of ladies. 1t is believed that
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-03-14

they have more intimate knowledge of
the domestic affairs of their neighbors than
the less sympathetic and less inquisitive
sex, and are, as consequence, better ena.
bIed to dispense the supplies inteligeutly
among the needy.
The aim has been to supply actual, and
not imaginary wants. To relieve positive
and not fictitious distress. To leave moth.
ing undone TO make more tolerable the con.
dltlon OF the victims Of the late food, and
not to expend spenny to undeseTving
cases. Tue agents Of the Red Cross have
been ably assisted n their work by Miss
Hamilton of St. Louis, Mrs. Capt. Huston,
Mrs. De Bruler, Mrs. Myerhoff and Miss
Hammond OF Evansville, and H. W. Rob
nson of Syracuse, n. Y. The officers and
crew have noby seconded the efforts of the
agents, and the Red Cross almost considers
them a part of its organization.
The expedition leaves this morning on
its return trip to finish tho work already
mapped out. No private enterprise of the
year has shown such generosity ia its con-
trIbutions and such wise discrimination in
its bestowsl ofstores as has characterized the
work of the organization of the Red Cross.

Owing TO the insulting remarks OF Thomp.
son to Foster quarrel ensued almost
/ Immediately, and all parties jumped to
| their feet Special Policeman Jake Coy
interlered and ordered them to quiet
down Thompson addressed Foster with
opprobrlous cpithets, called him n thief,
and then changed his tone and asked Fos-
ter to shake hands with him.
SHOOTING.
The latter refused, whereupon Thomp-
son struck Foster with his cooked pistol,
cutting his lip at the same time Officer
Coy struck Thompson's pistol hand and
the pistol went off, taking effect in Fos-
tcr's lee below the knee. Rapid firing
from all enSucd King Fisher fell at the
first fire, with one ball through his head
Just above the left eye, one through the
heart, and one through the knee. His
own pistol was not discharged. Thomp-
son received one shot in the left eye, one
in the temple and one through the abdo-
men They fell side by side, Thompson
continued to shoot as he fell OF the
theatre party Foster, as before stat d,
had his left leg shattered below the knee.
Officer Coy received flesh wound in the
calf Of the leg and Simms slight wound.
The greatest confusion prevailed in
and about the theatre. Several parties
jumped out of the second-story window.
JCS1IFABLE.
Officers took charge of the place and
removed the dead bodies TO the Jail, where
an inquest was held The jury returned
a verdict to the effect that Thompson and
Fisher came to their deaths from pistol
shots at the hands of Foster, SimmS and
Coy. They further find that the killing
was done in Self-dcfcnse, the lives of the
latter being in imminent danger, No ar
rests We're made
Thompson's body was shipped to Aus
tin and Fishers to Uyalde Joe Foster
had his leg amputated and it is thought
hecaunot live. The public knows Thomp-
son, history King Fisher is credited
with having killed not less than twenty
five men, Both have held high civil offices
at different times, and despite their fame,
or possibly in consequence of it, they
have many, very many, friends.

with head and throat troubles, and catarrh
seems more prevalent than ever. We can

have the body recovered at once. Smith
was an intimate friend of Mr.. Tester and
relative of one of the attaches of the
Herald office. Mr.. 7. feels very indignant
over interruption of the search for the body
by the work of repairing the trestle. 1t is
probable that a suit for damages against
the company,will result from the accident.

pleasantly entertained at the spacious resi-
deuce OF Mr. G. r. Woodward, corner of

invited guests to the number of fifteen or
twenty spent few delightful hours and
were made thoroughly welcome by the
genial host and his amiabe wife and
daughter. The evening, with cards, CONVEX

A railroad man who had tried to get
negroes to work on the st. Louis & Cairo
tracks above town states that he found it
difficult to do so this week, the excuse be-
ing given by some of the negroes that they
didn't have time because they had to come
to Cairo for ra'ions.-A well known negro
woman living in the neighb >rhood of
Fourteenth street, came down town Wed.
nesiay and got a basketball of rations. She
went home and Immediately sent out her
three children, her father and her sisters
husband, all living in the same house with
herself, each with sack or basket and
nearly all of them were supplied as she
had been. One negro who could be con.
yictei dozen times week OF vagrancy,
got lot Of meal, bacon and potatoes; and
meeting one OF his pals replied to the
question what he would do with the stuff,
that he could feed the meal to his chick
ems ana trade the bacon and potatoes off
for some obacco.-Beech Ridge precinct
Was well represented at the U. S. pap
headquarters. One negro who had been
here and received liberal lot of rations
about a week before and who received an
other lot Wednesday, is known to have at
bacon OF his own productions another who
also received "aid" has fine farm of eight
acres of his OVID, together with a span of
mules, farming implements home, ETC.;
and four or five Others who were seen to
loaf about the levee with sacks and bas
kcts, waiting tor an opportunity to make
raid on the rstiOns, were known to have
brought wagon load after wagon load of
corn into this city during the last month or
two and some Of them carried away not less
than four hundred dollars as the price of
their corn. Thus it seems that while in the
city the most worthless, lazy class Of negres
and the least worthy "white trash" are the
beuefciaries of these wholesale, public dis
tributions of food, in the country they are
the comparatively well-to-do negroes, who
come to town after rations just because
they can get them for nothing.
