A man named Carothers, in a drunken
condition, camo down from Paducah on

lrs by Justico J. II. Robinsofl, Two other

A race between five skiffs took pluce
on Lake Edwards Tuesday afternoon. The

by Mr. Ferdinand Koebler. A largo crowd
of people gathered on the street to witness
the raco and some bels were made. Tho
oarsmen all labored with a will, but several
ot tho skiffs pulled out before tho end was
reached. Tho Grey Huund was declared

Tho avcrago thermometer at twenty
points in tho northwest, as reportod in yes
terday afternoon's weather bulletin, was
fifty-fivo degrees above zero, being a decline
of one degree from the day before. The
lowest was twenty-throe, at Bismarck; the
highest was seventy-eight, nt Shreveport.
At this point it stood at sixty seven, being
arhsoof fourteen degrees over the day be
fore. No rain was reported from any
where and tho sky was mostly clear and
fair.
The committee on contingent expenses
reported that tho Ills, house would require

bo appointed by tha secretary of state. Two
jauitors, one for each cloak room, one janitor
for the speaker's room, three policemen, one ,
mail carrier, one night watchman and ten
pages, to bo appointed by the speaker.
Yesterday's river rccorJ was sim-
iliar to that of the day before. At this
poiut the Ohio marked torty-one feet six
inches at oue o'clock in the afternoon,
showing a rise of two inches during the
previous twenty-four hours. At points
above the record for the same period was
as follows: Chattanooga, rise of two feet
eleven inches; Nashville, tall of eleven
inches; Cincinnati, fail of four feet eight
inches; Louisv:.lb!, fall of threo feet nine
inches; St. Louis, fall of two inches. It
appears that the rise has pas-ed Nashville,
and it is probable that it will not affect
Chattanooga after to day.
In compliance with a request from
County Commissioner T. W. IIlliiay the
secretary of war ordered another supoly of
rations to this and Puiaski countines to be
dirtributed among the poor people of these
two counties. The request was made after
a thorough investigation which proved con
clusivcly that further aid was needed to re-
lievethesufferingjin this county. The steam
er General Barnard, which was at our wharf
yesterday, left forty casks of pickled pork
and six'y barrels of meal, a portion of
which was yesterday placed at the disposal
of Commissioner Guy Morso for distribu
tion among those who might apply at the
Tecnth street comraisary. A large num-
ier, mostly colored people, applied and
were supplied.
Mayos Thistlewood and Chief Myers
were notified yesterday that a little six-
year-old negro child living in no old
Bumgard rookery, at the corner of Seven
teenth and Poplar streets, was afliictod
with srna'l-pox. Tho chief immediately
investigated tho case and found it as re
ported, the child being entirely broken out
with the disease. Prompt action was taken
to prevent any further spread of the dis
ease. The house was fenced off and pla
cated, and tho inmates given orders not
to leave the premises ut any- timo for any
purpose. Rations will be issued to them
and they will be furnished by the city with
all necessarie3,including medical attention,
during the prevailancc of the disease, and
it is not likely th.it other cases will result
from it. The building is the same in wl ich
the young negro Henry Houston, who died
at the hospital recently, was
confined with the diseaso before ho was
discovered by tho authorities.
The two small-pox patients now re
maining in the marine lioipltal station are
doing well and will both be discharged
this week. Altogether there have been
thirteen casos of small pox and varioloid

tal. All but A SINGLE ONE of these WOTO NO.V
iiKsiDtNTiavKUMKNand this one exception
was a young negro who caught yio diseaso
on some steamboat at tho wharf. Outside
of this caie not a citizen of Cairo was
afflicted with tho first symptoms of the
dreadful disease. In view ot the fact that
other communities, which claim great su
periority over Cairo as regards healthful
neas, had a less number of cases and were
less liable to exposure to the disease, yet
scored from two to a dozen cases among
their own citizens, Cairo has good reason
to congratulate herself and can afford to
ignore any taunts on account of her sani
tary condition which may como from Chi
cago, St. Louis, Paducah, or any of her
other jealous rivals, both big and little.
Pincknryvillo Democrat : "Ono of the
officials of the contemplated railroad from
Springfield south, was in tlio city tho first
of tho week, and is of tho opinion that tho
southern terminus of the road will bo at
this poiut. Hence, it would seem that it is
only a question of a few months timo till
Pinckneyvillewill havij a through mute to
Springfield, Peoria and Chicago; and when
the St. Louis Central is completed from
Marion to Stonefort, where it will connect
with tho Cairo division of tho Wabash,
that road will have a lino to Cairo, com
peting with the Illinois Central, and also
giving Pinftkiieyville an ither line to Now
Orleans, via tho Mobile & Ohio. With all
this, tho iuturo growth and proporlfyf
our town is a fixed fact. AP. that U rn

Mayor Reed, of Paducah, "in order to
prevent sickness and tho spread of con
tageous diseases" has Issuod a proclama
mution calling upon all citizjni to comply
with "ordinance No. 130, which provides
for the abatement and prevention of nui
sances," and in order that Ao may know
whether or not his proclamation is being
obeyed, ho requires that "within ten days
after tho publication of this proclamation
an inspector will be lent around, whoso
duty it shall bo to examine all premise,
cellars, lots, etc., and in case tho ordinance
has not been strictly complied with, report
tho same to the city court. And to further
enforce this ordinance, it shall be the duty
of tho city marshal, street inspector or any
polico officer, from time to time to enter
into and examino, between sunrise and sun
set, any building, lot, cellar, vault, privy,
outhouse, etc., which they may believe to
be in a condition not in complfanco with
the rules set forth in this ordinance."
Mayor Reed has set an example worthy
of emulation by other municipal author
ities. Tho granger clement in Michigan is
greatly disturbed at present by tlio appear
anco among them of what their organs
call "Drive-well Fiends." The ''fiends aro
certain gentlemanly appearing persons from
the cast who are in Michigan as the attor
neys in fact for Col. N. W. Orecn, of New
York, who is tho patentee- of what is
known as the "drive-well." Very few
probably ever for a moment suspected that
they were infringing upon a patent when
they caused to be driven into the earth a
tube, and to this attached a pump; but,
according to the weight of authority, such
is the case. Many, however, refuse to l
convinced, and the result is purges are lx
iog raide up to defend factious now being
brought and to be thought by the agents
of Green. Green's pattct dates back Borne
teu or twelve year, aad the novelty con
sists of "Th method whertby wter, by
the Uie of artitim' power, is made to
move with increfd rtpidity from the
earth into the shift (or tab), whence it
results thst a tube but a few inches in
diameter, driven down tightly 1 1 a water
bearing stratum of ear'b, 'Jrds an almn
pant supply of water," etc. The vali iiry
of the patent, after hotly contested suits in
the Federal courts, brought for infring
ments, has been sustained by Judges Ben
edict and Blatchford of New York, -Nelson
and Dillon of Minnesota, and Gresham
of Indiana. A suit was lately brought by
Green in the Uuited States Circuit Court,
for the western district of Michigan, be
fore II in. T. L. Withey, Judge of the dis
trict Court. The usual bill, setting up tho
issuing and validity of complainant's patent,
was filed and an injunction prayed against
Miller and others, restraining them from
using the "driven wells." The mo
tion for injunctions was final
ly decided December 15, 1881. Judge
Withey, while refraining from any open ex
pression of opinion, intimated to council
that he considered the complaints valid, at d
that ultimately the pvent :eJwou.'d be o
titled to the relief prayed, but owing to tho
hardship that would be occasioned by stop
ping the water supply of a great number of
persons pending the hearing of the ca4d
upon tlieir merits, it would be proper to re
fuso thw wtit; the more so, as complainant
would sustain no injury in the meanwhilo,
and it was required that bonds bo given
to complainant in order to secure to him
the benefit of any decreashe might recover.
Tho surn asked by Green's agents in settle
ment of cases is ten dollars per well. The
suits will bo urged with all the speed possi
ble, and in tho event of favorable decrees
establishing the vadility of Green's claim
in Michigan, of which thero can bo little
doubt, it is probable that Green will ex
tend his prosecutions over other states and
Cairo with her hundredjor more wells may
not cscapo his attention.

Chicago Tlmni.
After a short reference to the sipe water
in this city the "Times special" continues:
"How to rid the city of this sipo wattcr
which yearly accumulates while high water
prevents the sewer being opened, has for
years been a problem tho solution of which
has afforded speculation and developed
plans innumerable, none of which, however,
has appeared practicable, or else too ex
pensive to be put into execution Ono
plan recently proposed by a prominent clt-1
izen was to provido a regular system of
steam pumps, which should pump the wa
ter out as fast as it run in. The latest plan,
and one which all prominent men and
those best calculated to judgo upon tho
Hubject are approving, is offered by C'apt.
W. P. Halliday, to whom Cairo owes roost
of its improvements.
The plan, as submitted 1 1 the Times cor
respondent by Capt. Halliday, is briefly as
follows : Bjingjarailiar with tho formation
of the land upon which tho city is built,
tho captain asserts that tbo place was a
sand bar, formed by deposits from the river.
The fact is shown by government survey
bores, tho record of which the captain hat
in his office, and also the formation of sand
does not extend throughout the entire city,
but is confined principally to the northern
and western part. Tho sand is found a
few feet below tho surface soil. Below the
sand is a strata of blue clay which is practi
cally imper?ious to water. The sand strata
is from 8) to 0 feet thick, and formed in
ridges. I'p tn these tand ridges the levees
were buil', having almost an unbroken
channel through the sand, between the
high water outside and the low water in
side. The river water running through
these sand ridges to the inside of the levc,
rises to the surfce through cisterns, vaults,
post holes etc., and floods the city.- This
theory is advanced by C'apt. Halliday and
is backed by numerous government bor
ings, and bv personal experiments and ex
amination of mill hole, cisterns and the
like. The remedy is as einip'.o as the
theory of the case is perfect.
The captain proposes to dig a trench
seven feet wide at the top and Ihre-c and a
hall at the bottom, and which shall reach
through the saud strata to the water proof
blue clay bottom, a distance probablv
averaging eig'utueu feet. The dirt that is
exhumed will be kept separate1, and the
trench refill, putting in the water-proof
clay first aud packing it securely, then the
sand is thrown in, filling the trench. Thus
the same material is used, only the earth
has been transposed and a perfect belt of
water-proof clay protects tho city, and sipe
wa'erwill bo a thing of the past for Cairo.
The est'una'ed cosiof digging and refl lit g
a trench which shall surround the entire
city i'abiiut $ 1 5,000, and it is needless to
add that Capt. Halliday has the mone;
energy, philanthnphy and experience, and
will dJ as he predicts banish sipe water
from Cairo.
Of course this plan would not apply to
other cities where tha formation is (lif
erent." If Captain Halliday's .theory as to the
formation of Cairo's site, is correct, then his
plan of excluding the sipe water from with1
in tho levees cannot fail to bo equally so.
This is testified to by a number of men in
this city wlio have had years of experience
in exploring the city's bottom by driving
wcll-t, digging cisterns, etc. As
an (instance that puddling is effectual,
tho ney gas reservoir, which wns built
when Mr. H.T. Gerould was superinten
dent of the company, may lie mentioned.
In digging tlio trench for the gas mains
lcnditiir from the gas houso to the resorvoir
the sand strata was reached at a depth
of about ten feet. It was necessary
to dig into this strata several feet
in order to lead tho main under the reser
voir, and this was found to bo somewhat
difficult because of tho water which poured
out of this sand strata, carrying with it the '
sand from under tho upper soil and csukJ
ing both sides of the trenches to cave in.
To remedy this evil bolkhoading was con
structed on either side in the trench evrn
with the tops of the sand strata; betweon
these and the sand earth, was firmly packed,
and the water was effectually excluded and
the sides of the treuch held in place. Tho
trench, to uso Mr. Gerould's own word,
"was as tight as a bottle."
Captain Haltiday's theory as to the
character of Cairo's bottom can bo easily
tested. When the Mississippi river is ldw,
tho sand strata can be plainly seen from
the river, running irregularly and in ridges,
at a depth of from two to ten feet from the
surface soil. But ia order to locate tho
ridges exactly whero they run under tho
city's levee, and also to ascertain their
thicknosf, a system of borings niny bo in
stituted at a very small cost.
That tho question of permanently rid
ding tho city of sipo -water 1 next to se
curing it ngainatatl possible damago froni
tho rivers, is an accepted fact by all citizens ;
tho iuterest arousud in 'this matter among
all property holders within tho levees is too
strong to dio quietly without seeing
tome strong effort made to accomplish this
olij ct. Homo plan must be tried; among
those offered thu cheapest, most reasonable-,
and at tho samo timo most effectual must
bo thoroughly tested and ns audi tho plan
above outlined stand at tbo head of the
list. - ' .
