The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-04-23

| sluctaDly SHORT Ol ten thousand uollhIr, tho
amount expended after each of the former
| flood seasons; and it dwindes down to al
most nothing in the light Of the facts that
no voluntary, gratuitious services were call
ed for this year as in former years, and that
our people slept in comparative security
while all around them stood miles and
miles of water several feet above their
heads.
So far as we have been able to learn
there is as yet only one applicant for posi-
ton on the city police force, in anticipation
OF Changes that may or may not be made
by the mayor and council next month This
applicant is John Gladney, who is even now
engaged in procuring signers to petition
to the mayor and council, asking an ap-
pointment. There is nothing like the
Glamour for positions on the force that
there was year ago and there Is
not likely to be much interest manifested.
AS before the mayor keeps his own coun-
sci with regard to his probable action in
the matter.
MIR. James Crowell and Miss Jennie
Clancy were married last night at the re-
sidence of Father Murphy, of st. Patrck's
church, on Ninth street. 1t was q very
quiet wedding. After the ceremony a nice
little reception was held at the residence Of
the brides father at which select few of
the happy couples friends were present.
The bride is the daughter of
our well.known fellow citizen, Mr..
Patrick Clancy. The groom's home
is in Sparta, but he has, for some time, been
yardmaster for the St. Louis and Cairo
road here, and has concluded to make Cairo
his permanent home.
Nearly all outdoor work is stopped
| again. Teamsters, lsborers, and mechanics
by scores are anxiously waiting for dry
weather for lack of this alone
prevents them from being
rushed with work each In his part-
cular line. The work is all projected and
in some instances begun. 1t seems that
the fellow who sang "The birds will soon
be pairing, the earth will be wearing, her
handsome vernal robe or em'rald green,
green, green"-it seems that this fellow
was entirely too previous, for the skies per-
sst in weeping, the rivers but slowly creep
ing and the popular disposition is rather
mean, mean, mean.
1t has been decided by the New York
Supreme Court that the money which
widow receives as insurance on her hus-
bands life can not be taken to satisfy debts
incurred before her husbands death. The
case in which this decision was rendered
was an attempt by the owner of judge
ment of thirteen years. standing against
deceased hotel man to enjoin the widow
from withdrawing the insurance money
from the bank in which she deposited it,
and the court held that an injunction must
be denied. This decision is spoken of as
new one, but is certainly just and reason
able one; otherwise the very purpose of in
surance for the benefit of a family might
easily be defeated,
Those saloon keepers who desire to
continue business after the 1st of May
should not forget that, according to reso'
luton of the City Council adopted at its
last meeting, they will be required to have
their bonds filed with the city clerk oy the
date named. 1t is the intention Of the au
thorities to have all the licenses collected
promptly when due. Heretofore, there has
been much lenity shown 10 the collection
of these licenses, but there is to be a strict
observance of the law hereafter, and saloon
keepers as we'll as the general public will
applaud this. Those who pay promptly
$500 liHense to do business for one year, or
$3.50 license for six months privilege
have right to demand protection against
competitors who lay behind for week or
two, or for mouth or two, and we under
stand that this protection is to be forth
coming.
If Pangborn, when a newspaper man,
displayed half the ingenuity and originality
he has since his advent with the B. & o.,
he certai nly must have kept things lively.
He is ont with another B. &. o. book, as
wholly different in conception and general
style from last weeks publication as posi-
BILE to imagine. The last is entitled "Moun-
tain and Valley Resorts" and is most ex-
quisite thing 1t is printed Upon heavy
paper; the views of the different resorts
most exquisitely rendered Gin no one can
tell how many different colors0 and coun-
terfeiting nature to perfection. The letter.
