MRS. CATHAmini MURPHY, wife of James T. Murphy, died at ber home on north First street, at five o'clock on Thursday morning, at the age of 46 years, after a painful illness of four months. She was a daughter of tbe late John Strain, remembered as sheriff of this couuty, in early times, and was a woman of rare excellence. She was a true helpmate to her husband, a loving mother to tour children, a chriatian, and in ber neighborhood will be greatly missed.

THREK fatal accidents have occurred on the Vandalta road within a montb, and four faithful employes have been instantly killed. The third accident occurred at ten o'clock Tueeday night, a abort distance this side of East St. Louis. A wept bound passenger train going at tbe rate of thirty-five mile* an hoar ran into a switching ooal train. The rear end of tbe engine stood full upon the track, and it is surprising that the loss of life was not greater. As it was, tbe engineer, Fred Foea, and fireman, William Morgan, both of this city, were tbe only ones killed. Their death was instantaneous and without warning.

Fred Foss was one of tbe oldest engineers on tbe Vandalia road, and was held in the highest esteem by his brother engineers and by all who formed his acquaintance. He was about forty years of age, and leaves a wife and three children.

Wm. T. Morgan, tbe, fireman, was twenty-four years of age, and lived with his ancle in this city. lie was immensely popular with bis young friends. Mis father resides at Knightsviile, where the body was taken for interment.

THB PUBLIC LIBRARY. Tbe movement to establish a public library in this city seems to have fallen at last into bands that will pash it to suooeea. A second meeting was held last Thursday evening at the residenoe ofT. W, Harper. Former experiences and future plans were talked over. A committee was appointed to secure stook subscriptions of one dollar per share, and report at a ipeeting to be held at the office of Fred

picking

THB trial of the Bandy murderers was set /or Wednesday, bat was postponed on account of the absence of one of the attorneys. The murder had almost been forgotten.

Boas, next Thursday

evening, where all interested are in vited to meet and asatst in the work of organization. After tbe organisation is perfected, a thorough canvass of theolty is to be made for subscriptions to the capital stock. It is important that tbe meeting next Thursday evening be largely attended.^?

OUR reetauranters, who have ft hard time to make both ends meet will no doubt tbank us for an idea that we get from the 8L Louia Spirit. It is that at dinner time, let a certain number of silver pieces be concealed in the dumplings or the pies, or the mashed potatoes, and let the fact be daly advertised. Ten per cent of tbe groee receipts could be given away in this manner and still leave abundant margin for profit for the proprietor. Who could not be tempted to take his breakfast where every pan of biscuits contained a silver dollar And how sweet it would oe to hunt nickels in hash Instead of buttons, heretofore Even an antique fish ball would smell sweeter if there was

.t??" ABOUT A GATE. Yesterday evening a mfcn was going north on Seventh street. He was in a great hurry and walking close to the fenoe. A man in a yard he was passing was going out upon tbe sidewalk about tbe same time. Tbe gate opens outward. Just as the man who was in a burrv reached the gate it suddenly opened and he banged against the edge which it presented at him with such force as to drive it nearly off its hinges. Tbe gate seemed to have hit him all tbe way from bis forehead down, and he went spinning about the sidewalk trying to clutch twenty bruised places at once, and indulging at intervals in shocking personalities toward the man whose intentions had been nothing more serious than to get out of tbe yard. Tbe wounded party said that he had always been under the impression that there was an ordinance to prevent things from sticking out into tbe street like that. The other man said he didn't know. The wounded man replied of coarse not he was too much of a d—d fool to know. He'd like to have somebody explain bow it was that the police can make an infernal row about signs sticking more than three feet from the building line, and yet tbey never have anything to aay about gates that swing out and catch a man in tbe jaw. He said that anybody tbat wasn't. blind could see a sign and keep from running against it, but who could tell when some idiot was-going to fire a gate out for him to knock his breath out against it. The other man said bn didn't know, and shot tbe gate and went back in the yard.

THE BANDANA.

Tbe ladies—bless their son Is—tbey are blessing however much trouble tbey cause ua—occasionally stumble on a sensible fashion. One of the latest is tbe wearing of a bandana to the opera or dramatic performance. There #as 'one at tbe Opera Hoase on tbe Modjeska night. It is nothing more.tban a bright, colored silk hantikeroblef pinned about tbe head, something after tbe style of tbe old negro women. But It looks real cute, and a pretty faoe detracts nothing from tbe effect. However, It is not for its prettlness alone tbat we oommend it, but because it is so sensible, and the wearer is so considerate for those who sit behind her. There was a time—and it was a bleaeed time—when a woman's hat or ben net would not block up the view of the stage, shutting from sight tbe actor, singer, or speaker but it doe* now. Go to tbe Opera House and take a seat behind a woman who has on one of those mountain cedar bats, with branches reaching high,In tbe air, and for out on either side, with peacock and ostrich feathers added, and if you are at ease, offer yourself next day aa a valuable monstrosity. We saw an ordinarily good natored man in that kind of a boat the same evening tbat we saw tbe bandana. Tbe mountain-oedar top-gear swayed from side to side with annoying frequency. Tbe poor fellow aeated behind lopped his bead over on hie off ahoulder and tried to get aight of Modjwka by looking between tbe bent down brim of the bat and tbe wearer's painted obeek. That failed. He leaned the other way and tried the other shoulder with no better result. He would have jumped up on tbe seat, bad not the fear of "sit down in front" kept him in place. We pitied him, and glancing below at the red handkerchief, involuntarily murmured: "Blessings on tbe bandana."

UNNINQ FOR OEFICE.

The approach of the annual municipal election is bringing to tbe surface tbe usual crew of aspirants for official honor, and some new candidates. It is useless to warn the old stagers, but the new ones may flee from the wrath to come on reading the experience of one Boggs, who ran for office:

Boggs was as peaceable a man as ever lived. He was sober, honest and respected.

He had never pounded his wife. Never taken any interest in a dog figbt.

Had never been known to pawn somebody else's watch. And never bad attempted to steal a sawmill.

Bogg's. character was above reproach. He was a shining light in society. All Boggsville looked up to and honored bim.

But a change came, a fearful, direful change. In an evil hour B*ggs accepted the nomination for Constable of his native village.

Alas! Poor boggs! Little did be understand tbe deceit and treachery of tbe wicked world.

His eyes were soon opened, however. In less than a week alter he was nominated, the opposition bad fully established the following damaging charges against his character: 1. Tbat be was a free lover and an infidel. 2. Tbat be had fed his neighbors hens on poisoned corn. 3. Tnat be bad broken bis mother inlaw's jaw with an iron bootjack. 4. Tbat he on one occasion give a whole wagon load of green watermelons to an orphan asylum. 5. Tbat he bad served a term in tbe Stateprlson for horse stealing. 6. Itiat he bad set fire to bis next neighbor's barn, merely because be refused to lend him a hoe. 7. That because he found a button off bis shirt, he tied bis wife to tbe bedpost, and tnasljpd in tbree of her ribs with the stovepoker. 8. That his chief Sunday amusements were cock fighting and oard playing. 9. That he sold his vote every year regularly to tbe highest bidder. 10. Tbat be wasn't fit for tbe place anyhow.

These charges, although without the slightest foundation, were religiously believed by the majority of tbe voters of Boggsville.

And Boggs' political goose was cooked. His chances for being elected were not worth three cents on a dollar.

When Boggs passed along the street bis neighbors looked at him with suspicion and crossed over on tbe other side.

Boggs was a miserable being. The day of town meeting came at last, and Boggs' opponent scooped in the Constableabip by a two-thirds vote.

Tbe anti-Boggs party swept tbeir candidate into office on tne tidal wave of popularity, and poor Bosgs was left perched high up on the spike-mounted picket fence of despair.

Boggs will never run for office again, not even for President. He says it is too great a strain on tbe character.

If he can regain the esteem of bis neighbors by grubbing along in tbe old way, be Intends to do Tt, and leave office seeking to people of oast iron reputation.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

Buffalo Bill aa usual drew an immense audience last Saturday evening. At fifteen minute* before seven tbe gallery waa filled to overflowing. Soon after tbe ftmily circle was in tbe same' condition, and before tbe oortain waa raised every seat waa taken on the lower floor. It is estimated tbat nearly two thousand men, women and children were gathered, and all seemed delighted with tbe novel and interesting pleture of life in tbe west.

Modjeska came on Monday evening, and bad an audience such as few stars attract in this city. She is a wonderful actress now, but another year's study of tbe English language willmake .a great Improvement. Her movements express more than ber language. Her talent doea not reveal tee

If in a warm, steady

glow, but lights up in gleams aud fitful flashes. It reminds you of dull and gloomy day, when the sunlight ever now and anon reveals itself through tbe olouds. It is to be regretted tbat Modjeska did not give as some other personation. To play Oamille well can surely bring no creditable feme to a good woman. It is a sbame that good women find it necessary to play such apart. The better tbe acting tbe more shame. We turn tbe reader to our "Woman's Opinions" where a very readably artiole on Modjeska and Camllle will be found. "Otto" will be given At tbe Opera House on Monday evening. "Old, yet ever new," is this pleasing comedydrama, with its German eccentricities and musioal accessories. There is nothing to say new of tbat versatile impersonator of Teutonic- peculiarities, George S. Knight, and scarcely more of Mrs. Knight (Sophie Worrell) both of whom have appeared beresooftea that they have grown among tbe stage familiars. They return to us with a good oompany lashed with the success and triumphs secured in tbe eastern cities. "Otto," though poeseesing a good plot, eliminated after tbe manner common to Mr. Marsden, yet has a decideed variety element, permitting Mr. ahd Mrs. Knight many pleasing specialties of music and recitation, and by introducing a change in these tbey cause "Otto" to retain a bold on tbe people, and make it though old, yet ever new.

Like Enoch Arden, we have long been "looking for a sail.". At last we bave tbe good tidings tbat on Thursday and Friday evenings of next week "Her Majeety's Ship Pinafore" will be anchored in-front of the Opera. House footlights. "H. M. S. Pinafore" is a sparkling operatic comedy, Which was first pioduoed in London in May, 1878, and in December of the same year introduced to the American people in Boston. Since that time it has been constantly on the boards in London, and is now performed nightly by from two to four oompanies in each oT the leading eastern cities to crowded' and applauding bouses. The success is phenomenal, aud nothing like to it, not even Uncle Tom's Cabin, ever equalled the popularity it has bad in its short existence. Manager Bickson of Indiadapolis, with commendable enterprise, went east and captured tbe Fifth Avenue Company, chorus, ooetumee, scenery and all, and has brought weet tbe entire crew. It will be produced at tbe Opera House, as above mentioned, on next Thursday and Friday evenings. Not a pieee of the Opera House scenery will be used, and the'opera will be given juat as produced in the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York. Tbe sale of seata begins on Monday.

Kate Claxton comes next Saturday evening in her new playof "TheDoable Marriage," dramatized from Charles Reade's novel of "White Xiles."

He said tbat he bad been married a few days before to a Miss Cora Harper, of Cincinnati, and when the officer came to serve tbe warrant, 22d, be found tbat Dlxon bad left tbe city. The Cincinnati

A young dramatic author, being desirous of taking a cut across-lots to fame and fortune, has written a play in nineteen acta, each one about one-sixtb of the length of the usual act. He thinks that millions of yoang men will take tbeir girls to see it because of tbe frequent opportunities tkey will bave to go oat between tbe acts.

An American oompany is playing "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in Vienna, and announces as one of the attractions of tbe performance, trapeae performance by an Indian girl oalled "Miss Zeno^ bia."

Tbe Christian Union gives notice tbat a lady correspondent, whose right arm has been disabled, desires a situation as reader of Sabbath services in a cultivated community that lacks tbe means to support a minisfer of first-rate ability, and adds: "Those who do not objeet to the work of Huldah. in the Old Testament and of Priscilla in the New, may address Zabeth Harp, either in care of Christian Union, or address Box 19, Canterbury, N.

Two boys came from Springfield, Mass., to this city, in 1865, on an excursion gotten up by two of the churches to see the Great Eastern. One of the boys went through on a half fare ticket, saying that be was under fifteen years of age, though he was really over it. He new lives in Hartford, Conn., and baa jnst written to the churches that be is willing to pay tbe difference in tbe fare with interest. His conscience has been troubling bim.—N. Y. Sun.

The question is raised: "Why should tbe hymn, which everybody can find, be read from tbe pulpit?"

Bat when it is unoomprehensively stumbled through as though the clergyman is engaged in getting through with a preliminary job tbat is to be finished as soon as possible regardless of the fitness of things, tbe reading is not a promoter of spirituality.

Had

Franets Murphy began earlier in life, he would bave been a wonderful speaker. Tbia is to be seen in bis oocasional flights of natural eloquence. But there is apparent acrudeness, a lack of finish, and lank of force in making application of bis powerfully drawn illustrations. However, with the two aadlences be had be re, he evidently labored at a disadvantage, as a showing of hands indicated that nearly all had put on the bine ribbon. After hearing himonoe, one ceases to wonder at the power he wielded*over such audienoee as he bad in his Pittsburg and similar meetings. Since be has commenced lecturing at 9100 a night it would be in good taste for him to drop the words in his lecture —"I find that working in this oause pays!"

THE WATER DOG.

A special committee of tbe City Council Is investigating tbe mauner in which the Waterworks Company was formed. The Express this morning says:

The gist of it is that when the works Were constructed the city donated fifty thousand dollars toward aiding the company. Those who are engineering the investigation claim that the late Mr. Dowling, then a member of tbeoouncU,nushed the donation through the council without a vote of the iieople, and without complying with the forms of the law in such cases m&d^ and provided. It is claimed that the oompany,having obtained the money in an illegal manner,can be made to return it or at least tbat if the city wants to buy the works it can deduct $50,000 from the price.
