Deibod, of Eylers Valley settlement.
Mrs Deibold came to town in the fore
noon, we presume to purchase holiday
goods, and tied her horse in front of
Shaffer's iStore. After attending to
business and ready to go home she went
to her team and united the horse. Just
before getting in the buggy she stepped
to the door where several pair of pants
and other articles were hanging and lift
ed pair of corduroy pants from hook
and placed them in the buggy with other
articles and drove away.
She was seen by parties across the
street who reported to Mr.. Shatier what
they had seen. He Immediately went
after Deputy Sheriff Stull who in a short
while was on the trail. At or near Mrs.
f. X. Rouzer's residence he overlook

Mr.. H. T. Carmichael, engineer in
charge of w., F. e. G. Ry., was sum-
moned to give expert testimony before
the coroners jury at Williansport, which
investigated the accident at that place,
when a number of workmen were killed
and injured by the giving away of a
''green" concrete pier.
Mr.. Carmichael and others gave expert
testimony tending to show that the con-
crete was not solid enough to admit of
the heavy steel girders being placed.
The jury was of this opinion, after hear
ing all the evidence. and brought in a
verdict censuring the engineer others.

AGAINST Tia SALOONS.
TWO Speakers at Court House Address
Large Number of People.

At the court house yesterday after
noon large audience gathered 70
hear addresses against the saloon and
liquor traffic generally The speakers
were Rev. Ditzler, Of Louisville. KY
and Rev. Davidson, the well known
negro pastor Of Cairo. The former
said the war was not upon the men
engaged in the business-but upon
the business: there were many good
men in the business and they were
there because it offered them chance
to make a living was money TO
be made. Rev Davidson thought the
abolition of the saloon would rid
Cairo of a large part Of the negro riff
raft which now foated into the city
from all directions and lodged here.
Music by the Anna orchestra was a
feature OF the meeting.
