Korsineyer, Prop tf Magistrate Comings motod out justice yesterday in two cases of drunkenness and three of disorderly conduct, one of tho lat ter being that of a young husband who had beaten hia wife with her entire consent. Justice Robinson had one case of abusive languago and one of visiting saloons at night, in each of which he assessed a fino of $5 and costs. The river commission that was to have left St. Louis on the 7th instant for a trip down the Mississppi in the wake of the special con gressional committee, postponed its depar ture until the 14th because of the non ar rival ot some of the member, and for other good reasons. The government steamer Mississippi left here Friday for Chester to bring down several barge loads of rock for Plum Point. She is to be back and at St. Louis by the 14th in order to carry the Mississippi river commission down the river. She will have to fly in order to make it. Misses McGrath and Gordon and Mis. George Parsons, left yesterday morning by steamer for New Orleans, to be gone a week or two. They were accompanied part ot toe way by Capt. T. W. Shields and Mr. George O'Hara, who will return on the next boat up-if the ladies will permit them. Tho funeral of the late Jno. Lally occurred yesterday afternoon. The remains were taken troin the residence on Eighth street to St. Patrick's church, where services were held, and from thence to the special train at the foot of Eighth street, which con veyed them to Villa Ridge for interment. A largo number of friends accompanied them to the grave. Some one unlocked the door of Justico 0. A. Osborno's office Friday night, and took from the desk the Justice's docket and carried it off, leaving legal papers scat tered all over the floor. Officer Danker found tho door open early in the morning, and promptly notified the justice. Who ever took the docket must havo been in Borne way deeply interested in its disap pearance. No trace of the thief was dis covered yesterday. Mr. Michael Hoar, an old citizen of Cairo and for many years connected with the Illinois Central railroad company here, died yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, at St. Mary's Iufirmaay, where bo had been for but a tew days. He was about fifty five j-earsof age. He leaves a wife and sev eral more distant relatives. He was a most faithful employe and an exemplary citizen, whose sudden demise will be gener ally regretted here. Reports from different parts of South ern Illinois are to the effect that the rain of the last few days has been quite general in this section of country. Mr. B. F. Wil bourn came down from his country home yesterday, and says he had to wade through wator about a foot and a half deep in the bottoms for a distance of six or seven miles. Col. Wood was in Vienna, Johnsou county, Friday, and thero also it rained heavily nearly all day. -Yesterday the valves for the Tenth and Thirty-eighth street sewers arrived. The river is still about thirteen feet below the mouths of the sewers, though it is rising. The valves therefore arrived in ample time, and those gentlemen who looked wise and talked with an air of mysterious knowledge that was painful to listeners, about the cer tainty of tho river's rising over the sewers before tho valves would even arrive, will be sadly disappointed. In the course of the next few days tho Tenth street valve will be put in place. From those who ought to know here we learn that the Cairo custom office has paid about double its expenses for a num ber of years back. Though the collections are not large they have not been less on an average than about twice the amount of the cost of maintaining the office that is tho customs offico proper. It is a matter of record that some years ago the customs office of Paducah was abolished, as were also those of Alton and Quincy, because these offices were not pajing expenses. The custom busincs9 of tho two last named points was transferred to St. Louis, and that ol Paducah was all transferred to Cairo. Recently, for some untenable reason, the office at Paducah was re-established and as there is less business at thitt point now than there was at any time before, the natural conclusion is, that the government has made another opening for wasting the public money. A boiler explosion occurred yesterday morning about 10: 30 o'clock, at the freight depot of the St. Louis & Cairo railroad, at the point. The boiler was a small one, about nine feet long and thirty inches in diameter. It stood upright in a small building at tho front end and adjoining the freight depot. It was used to run an en gine of about ten horse power, and a pump supplying wator to a largo tank for the railroad engines. It was in good condition, apparently, and had not been used very long. This is evident from tho fact that it was but slightly injured, only one little in side sheet being torn out. I tie engineer, Mr. James Smedly, was in the act of turn ing on tho injector to let water into the boiler, when the thing went off with a re portjabout liko a heavily loaded gun; shot into the air at an angle of about forty-five degrees in a southwesterly direction, clear ing telegraph wires and poles by ten or fif. teen feet, and fell to the ground bbout two hundred yards away. The engineer was knocked down and scalded about the body and lower limbs, but not seriously. Ho was at once taken to St. Mary's Infirmary and Dr. Parker called to attend bim. lie wll prob ably be up and about in a day or two. The shed in which the boiler stood was demolished; the floor was torn up, the roof stuttered and the walls scattered. The window over the entrance to the depot was also demolished by tho concussion, as were five panes in the front window of tho office. A double team ot mules belonging to a ne gro named Amos Amount, which was stand ing near the door of tho depot at the tinio of (he explosion, made a dash toward town, but the wagon struck tho corner of a car and both mules turned a neat somersault; but little if any damage was done to either mules or wagon. Tho cause of the explo sion was very evidently tho injection of cold ater into a nearly dry hot boiler which, almost every schoolboy knows , must pro duce an explosion. It is asserted that the engineer was aware that tho boiler was empty when he turned on the injector, but tliis is hardly probatlo in view of the fact tlmt ho is a practical engiueer. The explo sion was not nearly us destructive as it might have been. The B.& 0. Red Hook for Ohio, 1883, is out, and is beyond question the cleverest of all issues of this popular political text book. It would be difficult to imagiue a more complete showing of tho recent elec tions than is made in the Red Book. Not only are tho regular tables of comparisons intro duced in full detail, but speciul tables as well, embracing every feature of possible in terest. For instance, in one table, the vote of each party is shown by years back to and including the presidential flection of 1880, each result being compared by comities with that of 1883. Another table of much interest is that in which Hoadley'a vote is compared with the vote of the Democratic candidates for governor back to Bishop's time. A third special table shows Foraker's vote by comparison with Foster's in 1881 and 1879, and West's in 1877. Tho prohibi tion vote, and tho vote for tlie prohibition amendment, is digested to the clearest and fullest detail throughout tho little book it is a model of compilation. Col. G. W. McKeaig and Alderman C. N. Hughes, of Cairo, are mentioned by the Republican press ot southern Illinois as candidates for congress before tho Republi can convention next year. If Regubhcans would have a man of a clean public record for their standard bearer thty could not select one that would answer tho require ments better than either of these gentlemen Both have served the party well for years; both ure good political workers and men of good judgment in matters pertaining to the public good. Another consideration is, that Cairo is entitled to the candidate anyhow, for it has been a good many years sin:e a Cairo or Alexander county man represented this district in congress. These things should all be considered by the next Repub lican convention. If tho spirit'of brotherly love which was so rudely choaked off in the party in 1882 ha3 sufficiently revived to permit a harmonious support of either of the gentlemen named, who were active in tho oposiug factions of that memorable cam paign, then either would prove a formidable candidate tor the Democracy. Miss Emily Rigal and the "Plantei's Wife" will visit Cairo the latter part of this month, remaining one night only, and we wish to impress upon our people the fact that this lady and her company aro not of the ordinary typo of traveling combinations, but on the contrary rank with the very highest dramatic talent before the public. So enthusiastically havo they been received in St. Louis, that by special request of the first people of tho city they have been in duced to fill there three separate engage ments since the season opened. Tho acting of Miss Rigal has drawn editorial opinions from the entire St. Louis press, which is an unusual event, and is pronounced by Mr Dillon in tho editorial columns of the Post- Dispatch, to bo a very dangerous rival of the great Clara (Morris, who is without doubt the greatest actress in her special line of emotional characters before tho peo pie. We merely mention the coming of Miss Rigal, that our people may realize the treat in store for them, that they are, in tho language of the Post-Dispatch, really to have "a genius in their midst." SOL SMITH RUSSELL. This inimitable individual will open at the Opera House on Thursday evening next, producing for the second time in this city "Edgewood Folks," a most charming come dy drama, which has always pleased and instructed wherever produced. But little is necessary from us regarding this gentleman. Ho is well known in Cairo, having been hero years ago, and it is a source of pride to us all that tho little fel low who first appeared upon the lyric stage in our city, should have reached tho pinnacle of Buccess as a delineator of quaint characters.
