Will tho "Cata mosc" editor of '.he Argus take advantage of itt Mr. Marsh Brown can not exist out Hi le of Cairo's ample levees, therefore, In stead of permanently leaving town accord lug to the terms oi a stay of execution grant ed him by Magistrate Comings several days ago, hu simply took a boat at tho lower wharf and rode up to tho upper wharf and got off again. Monday he was captured by an officer and jailed. He is now just w here he is most wanted, on tho jail gang, and ho will do some noble work on the streets of the city. The "Catamoso" editor of the Argus is tho bull and any ono favorably impressed with Dixon Springs is tho red rag that makes him bellow and paw up the ground. Mr. V. C. Mulkey and family returned from Dixon Springs Monday night. They were much pleased with their visit and would like to have remained another week. A citizen of Charleston, Mo., was here yesterday in Boarch of a cheap carpenter to build a house for him. Charleston is said to be trying hard to get up a building boom. The report that tho Vaudeibilt syndi cate havo been negotiating for the purchase of the Texas and St. Louis narrow-guage is denied by Col. J. W. Paramore, its presi dent. Lost: A little black-and-tan dog, wearing nickle-plated collar with brass check bearing name of "Smith."

A surprise party was given to Miss Emma Eat, by her friends at tho hall of the Hibernian engine-house la?t night. The attendance Was quite large; music and dancing were tho principal features of the occasion. In addition to the line display of "sil ver, gold and precious stones'' in the win dow ol Jno. A. Miller's jewelry store, there are a number of photographs of the beauti ful scenery 'round about Dixon Springs that are worth studying. tf A rough and tumble fight occurred yesterday in one ol cat-fish Johnny's places, in which three black females took part and disfigured their sablo skins considerably. Each was fined $ 25 and costs by Magis trate Comings. The city treasury received several nice little batches of money from Collector Hodges within the last few days.

Phelps and Mrs. Ella Phelps, nee Vance, to be cele brated at tho residence on Eighth street to-night. Preparations have been made for a most pleasant little nfl'air and such it will doubtless prove to be. The first thing a city man does when he becomes rich is to buy a farm, move into the country and bankrupt himself trying to raise enough to keep him from starving. A rich countryman, on the other band, buys a brown-stone iront in the city and becomes interested in stocks, with a like result. American Farmer. The hall of the Young Men's Chris tian Association is in the small brick build ing just above Mr. Daniel Hartnian's es tablishment, which has been but recently put in very neat condition internally and externally. Being down stairs it is moie convenient and will be more generally pa tronized. - Some complaint has been made be cause of cars standing on the Illinois Central tracks above Eighth street. The complaint i a little out of order. The cars are there only temporarily, because of the lack o room in the company's yard caused in part by the track-raising that is now in progress there. In a day or two the tracks below will be all clear again. The Chicago Clothing House nine is composed as follows: Moore, short stop: Healy, second base; S. Jaekel, first base; Spencer, catcher; M. Jaekel, pitcher; Ro land, centre field; Mack, left field; Nell', third base; Canavan, right field. The tal lies in the game of Sunday were made as follows: five in third inuing by Moore, Healy, 8. Jaekel,NelT and Canavan; one in the fifth inning by S. Jaekel, one in the eighth inning by Neff. Speaking of tho return trip of the "Ecklords" Sunday the Paducah News says: "Tho boat left tin its return trip about 8 o'clock last evening, but a series of disasters took place on the way up. At Mound City the packing blew out of one of the engines and a considerable delay took place while tho cylinders were being re packed. At Grand Chain both the tug and her barge grounded on a ledgu of rocks where they remained for several hours be fore they succeeded in getting off. The party landed at the Paducah wharf this morning ft 0:30, decidedly "down at the heels and split up the back." -Two carpenters went up to Creal Springs yesterday to begin tho erection of a house of some kind up there. If their ex perience proves to bo like that of ono of their trade who went up there lor a similar purpose some days ago Ihey will bo baek about this afternoon. The gentleman in question was engaged ly a citizen of Cairo to go up to tho springs and "figure" on a house thirty by levouty-flve feet, that wos to hu ucd ns a boarding house. Hu went mid was tin t at the springs by the would bo hotel-keeper and about tho following conversation took place: Would-be hotel keeper: "Well, you've come." "Yes." "Well, 1'v.c had a man figgerin' on my house an' he offers to putterup fur $35 an' tin' the stuff. But I think that's purty steep and think you orter get away with him bad." Carpenter in search of a job: "How much did you say that fellow offered to do the job for?" "Thirty-five dollars." 'House is to bo thirty by seventy-five feet and he's to find the material." "That's about the size of the agreement." "Ham What time's the next train go south'" "Right now, in a minute." "Well, good bye." Micsouri Republican: "Tho festive wheel of fortune will doubtless disappear completely from the county fairs of Illinois under the sUtutary influence of the new- state law, which gives financial aid to every fair association that forbids this form of petty gambling. The wheel of fortune i generally a miserable swindle, but it is tol erated because of its insignificance. County officials would do well to see, however, that tho wheels arc not set up outside the grounds of the fair associations, as is olten the case when they are not admitted inside. Make an end of the whole business at once." For the month of July just closed the gross earnings and mileage in the ytar 1882 and 1883, of several of the railroads in this city were as follows : Illinois Central, earn ing", 1883, $510,758; 1882, $(110,782. Mileage, 1883, 028; 1882,918. St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern, earnings 1883, 585,880; 1882, $515,519. Mileage 1883,905; 1882, 795. Mobile and Ohio, earnings, 1883, $130,830; 1882. $135,173. Mileage, 1883, 528; 1882, 528. St. Louis and Cairo, earnings for three weeks, 1883, $20,813; 1882, $25,450. Mileage, 1883, 140; 1882, 140.

Ka Is, in his recent sketch of the American railways, made this statement: "TheT rail, now universally used on American railroads, is generally supposed to be of English origin; but it was invented by Robert L. Stevens, of Hoboken, N. J., in 1830, and was first laid on the Camden and Amboy railroad. It did not come into general use until after 1845. The first made of these rails were only 10 feet in length. The first rails 30 feet in length were made at the Cambria Iron works at Johnstown, Pa., in 1850, but there being no demand for them they were used on the tracks of that com pany at their works. The first 30-foot rails rolled oi order were made at the Montour works in 1850." The fourth annual Southern Illinois Fair will be held at Anna, on Tuesday, Aug. 28 to Sept. 1. The exhibition in all dep -trillion's is expected to be superior to that of any previous display. Entries are free and are solicited from tho people of this put of tin; state. Premiums are liber al, and admission low. Races will bo a prominent fcatur.' and include a grand Ro man chariot nice by A. McDonald and wife, formerly with Illinium's Hippodrome, on the nfternoons of Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday. The fair will undoubtedly be the best ever held in Southern Illinois, and we feel safe in advising the public to attend. Half fare rates on the Illinois Cen tral and excursion rates on tho St. Louis & Cairo railroad. Write to the secretary for a premium list. The man Mayfield, who killed Capt. James Big;:s here, has been arrested in Kansis City, Mo., and word was sent to Chiel Myers here yesterday, asking if he was wanted here. Mayfield has long ago signified his willingness to como here at any time and stand trial for tho act which has made him bo unfavorably notorious here; but the whilom states attorney, the immac ulate Damron, was never ready for trial. Maylicld has engaged Mr. D. T. Linegar to defend him in the trial. He is confident that he will be acquitted, claiming that he was entirely justified in shooting Capt. Bigi;; but he does not wish to surrender himself to the officers here until ho can bo tried, in order that he may not have to lay in the county jail for a term of weeks or months. In view of this state of tho case there seems to be no need of going to tho expense of bringing him here at publiex pense now and he will probably released by the Kansas City officers. Things were (uite lively for a while in the court of Magistrate Comings yesterday afternoon. The sensation being the arrcBt and trial of a brace of bad "niggers," who were strongly inspected of having "had a liiind'' in the several little burglaries that have been committed iu the City of lute. Officers Mahanny and Hogan had been at work on these robberies for several nights and they were lead In their investigations directly to these negroes, one named James Settle; another, Charles Bass, and another called "Brandy." These threo were arrested Monday night late, under suspicious cir cumstances, prowling about tho streets mak ing signals to each other evidently intending to work out some kind of a job on Ohio levee near Fourteenth street. Bass and Mettle were charged with being vagrants, and each was fine 1 one hundred dollars and costs. Tho former was given a stay ot execution on condition that ho leave town in two hours and the latter was sent to jail to be held until further evidence Bhall bo obtained with reference to those burglaries. "Brandy" protested that he wus not ready for trial mid didn't believe ho could get justice in that court anyhow. He was jailed and will probably bo brought out again to day. THE MEMPHIS EXTENTION. Il'ioin thu Kaueim (Jlty Journal. "The date of the opening of the Memphis extension has not yet been decided, but the unit-mis believe that tin: work will be done by September 15. A grand excursion from Kansas City to Memphis and another Irom Memphis to Kansas City will celebrate the event wtnch is fraught with so much inter est to both cities. Tho building of the road has already commenced to benefit the tity. lho extension cuts off Cairo com pletely and several grain and produce men have moved to Kansas City to establish themselves in business in order that they may retain their Southern trade. Cairo, tliioiieh the parsimonious and grasping Halliday monopoly, has hitherto controlled nearly all the Green Line points, but this trade, by the ai I of the Memphis line, will ho transferred to Kansas City almost in one move." Grei n Line consumers will probably gel quotations from Cairo, Kansas City and other points of production, to which they will add transportation charges, and will then buy at the point that can lay the arti cles down the cheapest at their station. All talk about monopoly is simply idle bosh it does not enter with business and no businessman will mention it. If it can be demonstrated that Kansas can produce corn and wheat enough cheaper than our rich valley, to justify her in paying freight charges over sever il hundred miles of rail road ihan Cairo then she is entitled to the trade, ami w ill probably get it. That Kansas City is a growing and enterprising city there is no doubt.ar.d that she will be great ly benefitted by her new railroad connec tion, we are ready to admit, but that she can take any large amouut of trade fn ni Cairo is a matter of very grave doubt. The merchants she has secured from Cairo she is welcome to. If some of them play t tic same game there they can under sell any body. COUNCIL MEETING. Last evening the second regular me eting of the city council occurred. The mayor and five aldermen were present. The busi ness was of little importance and the meet ing was short. Comptroller TTowley reported that re port of Wells & Kerth as to insurance tax paid by them was correct. Street committee reported recommend ing that clerk he instructed to advertise r bids for proposals to fill Commercial avenue, between Twentieth and Thirty fourth streets, as provided for by ordinance No. 127. Amended to include Sixth street, between Washington avenue and Jefferson avenue, and adopted. Committee on claims reported favorably upon claims referred to it at previous meet ing, and council allowed claims. A motion that judgment in favor of Bi tell, covering claim for damages sustained by tailing through sidewalk, he paid, was carried. Committee on police, jail and fire depart ment reported reeomineding that petition of J. S. Redman for permission to erect frame building in tire limits be referred back for further signatures and that peti tion of Mrs. llobbs for like privilege be gianted. Report adopted and concurred in. Petition of Hibernian tiro company for two hundred and fifty feet hose, and amendment that more hose be purchased, were referred to committee on police, jail and (ire department, as was also a mo tion that justices of the peace be hereafter allowed only twenty-five instead of fifty per cent, of the fines collected. A resolution offered by Alderman patier, ordering tho city marshal to remove the Wabash track from Commercial avenue, and report his action to tho council at its next meeting, was lost after some warm passages between aldermen. Meeting then adjourned. Violent strains to the muscles, often re sult in rheumatism. Prof. C. O. Duples is manager of the Gymnasium, Chicago, 111., says that St. Jacobs Oil is the infallible cure.
