Firm this morxiso. About 0 o'clock
this morning tho flro bells eounded tbo
alarm, and in it few minutes thero was a
gonoral rush of men, women and children
in the direction of Eighteenth stroot,
whoro the cnuso of tho alarm was discov
ered to exist in tho roar portion of Mr. W.
F. Pitcher's residence In somo unac
countable mannor flro had been communi
cated to the wood and tinder lying nnier
tho house. From thence tho flames stream
ed up between tbo plastering and weather
boarding, and for a time promised to fur
nish that community with stint clou con
flagration. Tho members of tho family,
Mlited by somo of the neighbors, toon
got the flro under subjection, so that when
tho flro companies arrived on tho ground,
there wm no particular call for tboirter
vice.
Tho Hibernians arrived first, but their
engine bad frozen up and would n't work.
The Arabs and Rough and Readies came
in promptly, and tho former being con
ducted directly to a cistern, threw tho first
water.
In this caso, as in most others, a num
ber of individuals becamo "wild," and one
of them, in his efforts to savo something,
smashed a parlor window, breaking both
sash and glass into a thousand atoms. Tho
carpet wcro also torn up and a considera
ble quantity of the houseneld plunder
tumbled into the street.
Thodamaga inflicted by tbo fire can bo
easily repaired.
Tax editor of the Cairo Sun dtmamlt
that negro children shall bo admitted into
our public school on equal term with tho
whites, and call upon tho legislature to
pass a law that will compel "copperhead''
school director to admit them.
Tbo editor ot the Sun is manifestly de
termined, since ho cannot become famous,
to render himself infamous. Wo do not
beliovo that in tho entire city of Cairo that
thero is a white tax-payer who favors the
introduction of negroes into our public
school. Tho proposition ',1s regarded as
monstrous, and teeki to inflict a blow upon
our school syttemfrom which it may nover
recover. The negroes themselves do not
nsic for mixod schools. Thoy greatly pro-
fer separato schools, where thoy can carry
ont tholr own ideas as to methods and dis
cipline, and whero their children will be
safe from maltreatment at the hands of tho
hlto children.
Tho day that negro children are forced
Into our public school will inaugurate, in
violonco nnd bloodshod, tbo decline and
downfall of tho school system in Cairo.
Our taxpayers, tho frlonds and patrons
of the school, will become enemies of tho
'syttein, and work for Its overthrow.
Had tho proposition come from a tax

A private lettor to Mr. Sam. Orr, of
this city, states that a few days ago,
tho house of Mr. McGurley, a farmer liv
ing near the Sulphur Springs, Crittenden
county, Ky., was burned down during
his absence, and that his wife and daugh
ter, tho latter about 24 year of age, were
both burned io dtaih, Tho wife was con
fined to her bed by severe lllnett, and a
tbo charred remain were found togotbor
near the door, at tomo distance from tho
b-d, it is supposed the daughter had lifted
her mother out of boJ, and wns endeavor
ing to etcapi with her from the burning
building, when urercomo by the stifling
smoke.
Thero was about $1,000, partly gold and
sllviir, hi tho house, and It is possible that
trie inmate were murdered and the homo
fth-d to conceal the double crime.
Tiik habit indulged In by a few mem
bers of thodlfTurent broconipanle of hoot
ing and deriding onoh other's failures or
short-comings i breeding a good deal of 111
will, and If persisted in will undoubtedly
lead to difficulty, possibly nf a sorious na
turu. Tho fact that tho different c-iimpn.
niu during n period of seicn or clgiit
year have avoided quarrels and unscomly
contentions Is ono tliut wo refer to with
pride; and at till lato day there should bo
au increased effort put forth to dwell to
gethor in uulty. Let tho hooting and

Man Drowjid, Tbo steamer Oil Val
ley, Captain Jackson, was here yesterday.
Using somewhat short of hands tho Cap
tain gave employment to Mlko Carmody,
who, for sometlnto had, boen a resident of
.Cairo. When a short distance up tho Mis
Ylssippl, Carmody was aeon on board,
.wheeling coal. A few minutes afterwards,
however, ho was missing; and as tho bar
row he had in use could not be found, it is
belloved that both man and barrow tum
bled overboard.
In tho valiso which Carmody carried on
board wero found a number of private let
ter from which it was learned that bo has
a wifo and. two children living in Xngland;
that ho was a member of the Masonic or
somo other secret body, and that he re
cently resided in Oil City, Pennsylvania.
As he wore heavy, iron-spiked shoes, it is
probablo that ho immediately sunk to the
bottom of the river and did not rise again.
No one saw him tumble overboard.
