Notlfoa In thean eommna, l&cn lorertloiv Mtrksd tea cenu per line, The postofllceand banks will be closed to day because it is a national holiday. Mr. Guy Morse has resigned his po sition as Deputy Sheriff. Circuit court adjourned for the term Saturday. It will convene again in July. Siipeial excursion trains will run to Mound City over tho W. & P. to-day. The Qermania Houso of Charles Schoenmyer has room for a few moro day boarders. See notice in special locals. Wasted. 25 pounds white, clean cotton rags, at Tim Bullktin office, at 5 cents per pounds. Mr. Guy Morse yesterday resigned tho position of Deputy Sheriff which ho has held so creditably to himself for a year or two. -Tho large woodenwaro storehouse of Mr. C. U. Woodword, on Commercial avenue and Railroad street, is to be partly of brick in order to iusuro the contents against fire from adjoining frame buildings and lumber yards. Oeorgo Washington, for burglarizing the grocery of Mr. Nourigan, on Ohio levee, and taking therefrom a certain sum of money, was held to bail in the sum of two hundred dollars by Magistrate Comings yesterday. Mr. Oakley, formerly cashier of the Cairo & Vincennes, has taken the same position and assumed its duties with the Singer Manufacturing Company at Cairo. His family will soon take up their residence in Cairo again. Mr. Oakley stands very high in the estimation of our people, and all welcome him buck as au old Cairoite. The southern Illinois teacher's associa tion has addressed a circular to a citizen of Piuckneyville, asking what inducements, if any, that town would offer to secure the next meeting of the association there, and w hat the hotel accommodations are. Cairo might make some effort in the mutter and come out ahead. It must be of interest to Mr, Harry Walker and to Prof. Al. Goss to know that the Southern Illinois Fair Association, to be held at Anna, offers a premium of $150 to the best organized band in Southern Illi nois, at their next fair. The Comique band needs but to tako part in the contest to in sure it the prize. A match game of base ball played on twenty-eighth street Sunday afternoon at tracted quite a crowd of people. It was an exciting contest between the New York Store nine nnd a nameless nine, in which the latter came out ahead, the score stand ing eight to fourteen at the close of the game. Grandmother Argus has "picked up considerable" more within tho last few days regarding the manno hospital service here, and sho gave it to her readers in a three-quarter column doeo last evening. It seems that her feast of crow lays heavily upon her stomach, and that upon the theory that "like cures like" she has con eluded to repeat tho dose. A young girl living with her mother up stairs in the frame building occupied on the first floor by Mr. Tcssier's blacksmith shop, on Commercial avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, died Sunday morning. Strange, unpleasant rumors are afloat concerning the manner of her death, which demand investigation. Further par ticulars arc withheld until more is known. The Choral Society will give a public rehearsal at Ilartman's Hall next Thursday evening. An excellent programme, con sisting of music, choruses and boIos will bo given. Tho singers of Cairo desire en couragement in their efforts to advance the musical standard among our people, and if tiny fail to havo a crowded house it will be because tho citizens of Cairo have failed to do their duty. Tho admission is only twenty-five cents, nnd tho entertain ment, without any other consideration, is well worth thnt. A dispatch to Mr. C. N. Hughes, from It mdolph county .yesterdayjstated that "two thirds of the precincts heard from are all instructed for Thomas." This insures Mr. Thomas tho vote of tho twenty-seven dele gates of that county iu tho coming Con gressional convention. This gives him the instructions of three counties, with a total of llfty-threo votes, and giving him also Johnson's fifteen, which are instructed to give him second choice, he will have sixty' eight votes. Eighty-six ballots are neccs vary to nominate, and it seems certain now that he will receive much moro than that on the first ballot. Four tramps named John Yellar, ChurloH and Theodore Wilson, and Edward Morris, broke into tho watchman's room at the cotton compress Sunday, and took therefrom about all they could carry of tho belongings of Mr. Charles Allen, tho watch man. They took a valise, a pair of pants, a vest, three shirts, a pair of drawers, two pairs of socks, a towel, a silk scarf, a rovol ver, tobacco, a pillowslip, a linen coat, and a quantity of provisions all valued at about thirty dollars. They were pursued and captured near Mound City on tho Wabash track. They were examined by Magistrate Comings, yesterday, and each held to bail in the sum of two hundred dollars. Benin of tho hackiuoii are again becom ing veiy troublesome to passengers coming in on trains and boats. Tho prosecutions to which they wero subjected some timo ago for this samo offense had the effect of giving strangers a rest, at least until they left tho wharf-boats and depots, but now it Bcems that tho hackmen are rife for another tussel with the officers of the law. As an instance, a lady who, with child aud bug gage, arrived on the Southern train yester day forenoon, was besieged almost imme diately by a squad of bold, impudent negroes, all joining in a loud babble about their respective vehicles, confusing the lady with questions aud demands for her bag gage, and somo of them even disputed over tho possession of her baggage. It was a disgraceful scene, and was auddeuly broken in upon by Mr. II. II. Milburn, of the Iron Mountain road, who dispersed the Thus reasons grandmother Argun: "Be cause the first small-pox patient was taken direct from tho river to, died at, and was buried from, the marine hospital station, long before tho city pest houso was open, therefore the first small-pox patient trcateil at said station came from Baid pest house; because "the marine surgeon holds himself subject to the city authorities in making disposition of cases of contagious or epidemic diseases, thereforo citizens arc not endangered by coming iu contact with river men who are ulllicted with such diseases and are going to or from, or laying around near the surgeon's office iu the custom house. In short, because contagious diseases are not contagious, at least not when met with in tho Cairo custom house, therefore "the in terference of tho handy and officious Dr. Rauch does not seem essential to regulate the marine hospital here," and "there is no reason to interfere at all." John McClosky was arrested by Chief Myers and Officers Martin and Mahanny, at Bird's Point, Sunday, and brought to Cairo under suspicion ot being one of the two men who sold Mr. Michael Glenn the stolen mule. Suspicion was cast upon him by his resemblance to one of the men, by the fact that he came from Arkansas recently, aud by the fact that he was iu this city on the same day the mule was sold and bought several suits of clothing and 6pent money freely otherwise. He was brought here and closely questioned by the chief. He admitted all the above facts, but denied all knowledge of the stolen animals. Ho bore the looks and had the manner of an honest man, and was willing to stand trial if required. But the chief, after subjecting him to a rigid examination and extending inquiries in other directions concluded that McClosky was not a guilty man aud let him go. An up-town business man sent an employe of his, a sou of tho Verdant Isle, to tho pobtoffice, a few days Bgo, with in structions to mail some letters and also bring what mail there might be in the box The employe went, opened the box, took out what mail it contained, put thu letters lie was tomail into it and then locked it and went home, conscious that he had done his luty well. This was four or five days ago. Saturday the employer sent the man again upon the same errand, giving him more letters to leave. The man left, but returned again bringing back the letters he was to mail and also several which had newly arrived. "Not a d d bit o' use takin anv more letthers to that postollice," said he to his employer. "Why not J" asked the latter. "Becase," said the verdant man, "the letthers I tuck there four days ago haven't g')ne yit; they're all there in the box just as I left them, Postoflices in this counlhry is all humbugs; phats thu uso in bavin' a box if the letthers ycr put into 'em stays there tell they rot." The apparent neglect of the postollice officials was quickly explained away when the mirth had sub sided, and Paddy's estimation of the United States postal service was as suddenly raised as it had previously fallen. STREET COMMITTEE MEETING. AN IMl'OUTANT HECOM MI5NATION. The Street Committee, composed of tho Mayor aud Aldermen Slake, McIIale, Hinkle, Swohoda and Pettit, met at tho Council Chamber yesterday afternoon for the purpose of transacting such business as the interests of the streets of the city might demand. Various matters of minor importance were disposed of, but an im portant and very necessary step was taken with reference to the sipe water which dis figures our city and inconveniences our citizens every two or three years. The ac:ion was in the form of the following resolution offered : "Resolved,That the object of the accu mulation within the levees in period of high water in the rivers, of water arising from rivers, sipago nnd other causes, bo refur-ud to a committee to bo appointed by :ho aiayor, which committee shall bocomMMod of llvo members of tho City Council ind five citizens, benig real estate owners end not members of thu City Council, and tint It Bhall lm tho duty of said comtnitteo to examine into tho subject and report to the Board of Aldermen at an early day for tl eir action thereon, tho best mode, in their opinion, of removing tho cauBs of such accumulations, and preventing such accu mulations in the future." NOTABLE WEDDING. Quietly, without thu knowledge of nearly all Ills most intimate friends here, Mr. L I Parker, of tho Halliday, married Miss Ella May, . at Jerseyville, Ills., last Tuesday. Tho ceremony concluded, tho happy couple left there on a short wodding tour to St, Louis and Chicago, and returned homq Sunday to roceivo the hearty congratula tions of their many agreeably surprised friends here. So well was the aiTair managed by Mr. Parker, who is characteristically un ostentacious in all ho docs, that tho first in timation his friends had ot tho wedding was from the St. Louis papers. Tim Bulle tin joins iu the general complaint against tho secrecy with which tho whole affair was conducted and also in the earnest wishes of future unalloyed happiness, show ered upon Mr. and Mrs. Parker because of their happy union. DECORATION DAY. The ferry bout Three States will make trips as follows on Decoration Day : Leave Cairo at 7 a. m. and nt 11 a. in., remaining at Mound City till 2 p. in.; leave Cairo at 5 p. m., Mound City 0 p. in. Citizens de siring to tako their vehicles can do bo for ferry rates. Fare for passengers, 25c. It. Truth Is Mighty. When Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., announced that his "Favorite Prescription'' would positively cure the many diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, some doubted, and continued to employ the harsh a-id caustic local treatment. But the mighty truth gradually became acknowledged. Thousands of ladies employed the "Favor ite Prescription" nnd were speedily cured. By druggists. THE EXCURSION. About titty people went to Pad Utah m tho steaini r Three States Sunday and had a vi-iy jo!y time from beginning to end. They st.nted from here at 9:-10 o'clock and returned a little before 12, haiiig ."pent from 4 to 8 o'clock in Paducah iu a moid pleasant manner. They were all very favorably impressed with the Piam City, principally because or its long, clean, giav elled streets and its beautiful homes. On the boat the time was most agreeably spent, both in going and coming. Captain Hacker nnd Clerk , Devorc, assisted by Manager Walker, did everything in their power to make the party comfortable nnd they succeeded well. Music, such as but few bands besides Prol. Goss' band can produce, was an important feature of the occasion and attracted large crowds at the wharves of every town passed. The match less Comique orchestra, Prof. Lemons leader, was also on board and a portion of the time was spent by a jolly few in little dunces in the .cabin. Not an unpleasant incident occurred throughout the trip. The time made by the boat is deserving of special mention. She made the run Irom here to Paducah in six hours and fifteen minutes, keeping all the while close to the Illinois shore which, with its bends, makes the distance about six miles longer than the Kentucky side is. Of this time forty minutes was lost in landings and by loss of steam by the dropping out, when at Metropolis, of the furnace gratings, allowing the fires to go almost entirely out. Returning, she left Paducah at 8 o'clock, sharp, and arrived here a few minutes before 12, having made the down trip in less than four hours. "SAFFORD MEMORIAL NIGHT." A llifll.UANT KKCKI'TIOS TKNDEU1C1) MUS. A. II. SAKFOllD 1IY THE 1)I) FKI.I.OWS OK CAIltO. Not long ngo The Bulletin noted the arrival of a pair of elegant plaster Paris busts of Washington nnd Lincoln, which were to be presented by Mrs. A. B. Safford to the Odd Fellows of Cairo and by them formally received at Bome future date. This formal reception took place last night at the lodge's elegant hall, nnd it was one of the really notable events in the social life of the city. Preparatory to this event the busts hud been mounted on two pedes tals of fine workmanship and placed in position in the hall. A largo number of ladies nnd gentlemen were invited nnd re sponded, ami a programme of exercises, which included music, addresses, a ban quet and dancing, was provided. The company assembled enrly lust night; tho programme was opened with some fine miiHic, instrumental and vocal, nnd then Mrs. Sallbrd, iu a short, appropriate address, Win. H. presented the two busts to the lodge in memory of the deep regard felt for it. by her lamented husband. When Mrs. Sallbrd had concluded, Judge W. A. Green made the following response: Address of Judge Greene for tho com mittee: Sisteh Naffoko: We havo been appointed by Alexander Lodge fis a committee to accept your gener ous gift of the Bujst of Washington ami the Bust of Lincoln, and to extend to you tho thanks of tho Lodge therefor: Highly as wo prize the gift iUelf, wo still more highly -prize the . seutimeuts heart which prompted the making of tho gift. Wo shall be pleased with the presence of those great nnd worthy men, represented by the colorless plaster of thu artist; but we Bhnll bo more pleased by the refreshing memories arousod by your kindness of heart in thus adding nnother link to the strong chain that couuocts you with this lodge. Wo would be suppressing our natural foldings aud our genuine emotions if we did not refer to Brother Alfred B. Safford on this occasion. Time with its soothing in fluence has loft oniy cheerful aud joyous rcmotnbrauces of Brother Snflord. Wo no longer twluo the cypress wreath around his FURNISHING o (iuoiiri Of Every Description, from the minutest article up to a Youth's or (icntlemiin's Complete Out lit. A large Assort ment of STRAW HATS AND STIFF BRIMMED FEALT HATS of the latest styles just received. ADVANTAGES WE HAVE: FIRST The quantity of inerciiandi.se we buy to supply our numerous stores. SECOND We have ample capital and are prepared to buy cash down. THIRD We are at all times represented in eastern markets by a resident buyer, who is always on the lookout. Now, it is by taking advantage of these opportunities that we do from time to time, name such apparently ridiculously low prices. For instance we are selling Middlesex Blue Flannel Suit, each suit bears the ticket with full name Middlesex Co. if 10.00. None genuine without ticket. A very nice Cheviot Suit for $9.50, worth f 15.00. A 'very nob by Red Silk Mixed Suit at 12 50, worth .$ lO.OU We do not sell troods tor less than cost. We want it distinctly understood that we make a small profit on everything we sell for that principle by which a merchant can sell goods for less than cost, and still keep store has never yet been discovered. Come and see our goods. You will not be importuned to buy. J . I3TJKG FR & B RO, onse, 108 Commercial A.vemic. u.. y. . & c 5 - s s iU s Zt . -H memory. In this lodge his name is the synonym of all that is kind, and joyful and happy. Your presence here unavoidably awakens tho teiiderestof manly sympathies, but they are sympathies wholly uncon nected with tho slightest shadow of sad ness. We think of Brother Safford only as associated with things that are bright and beautiful and good music and flowers, the works of art, tho guy dance and the festal board, tho kind word nnd the kinder bmile, the quiet works of a bountiful charity all spring up in the memory at the magic of his name. And though he was one of the toilers in this life, yet toil and work had not made him harsh or cynical. As his worldly fortune grew, so grew his active charity and his benevolence toward his fel low men. As he grew older, life with him grew better and brighter. And when the day's work was done, or when the feast was ended, he thought not of himself alone; he did not forget that be was an Odd Fellow, he did not forget "to visit the sick, to bury the dead, to educate the orphans." Verily his deeds of charity are among the jewels of Odd Fellowship. Brother Safford was, in some respects, a model Odd Fellow. For sixty-three years Odd Fellowship has been carrying on tho great work of leading the world to the knowledge that we all of one family, and iu that great work Brother Safford was pre-eminent. He aided this lodge in teach ing that in Odd Fellowship none are num ber one that there are no great, no medium, no small ones here, and that the accidents of birth or fortune all vanish in an Odd Fellows lodge. We teach that of one blood are all nations - the great doctrine of human brotherhood and human equality, and ho was a great teacher and a bright exemplar of those doctrines. To night let us all feel nnd act like Odd Fellows, and let us make thin UOth of May, 18S2, a Safford Memorial Night! Let us be glad and happy and joyful in the reception of this splendid gift which lias brought up such pleasant memories of the past. Wo now present the following resolu tions: Resolved, That Alexander Lodge accepts Iho bust of Washington and tho buit of Lincoln, presented by our sister Sallbrd, and will cherish the gift as evidence of her kindly remembrance of this lodge, and because it will remind us of a brother whoso memory will be kept green ns long ai' Odd Fellowship has a homo in Cairo, and will be ever cherished with affection ate regard by this lodge. Resolved, That we will place tho busts In thu lodge room in appropriate positions, believing that thu good deeds of the great men they represent are worthy of emu lation. The banquet was next iu order. Several long tables wero decked mngnillccntly and laden with all that was rich nnd rare. The Company, one aud all, Were unable to resist tho tempting viands, and all partook a o (iOOUS 1) SOLID COMFORT. The Man tlocu Honor to Him self Who Wears a Pair of Our Calf Hand Scw.il Button Gait ers. They are Always Reliable for Wear, Kuy. in Good Taste and Cheap. c c heartily of them. The ceremony closed with music ami a dance, after the hall had been cleared of chairs, etc. The entertain merit, if such it may be called, was a fitting mode of demonstrating the high esteem in which the lodge held the beautiful gift and its donor.
