The Watertown Railroad Difficulty.

There has been considerable excitement in

the Milwaukee and WATERFOWL r. f.. after its
sale 10y the La Crosse Company to the Madison
Fond du Lac x Michigan X. X. Co., and the
latter company's attempt to take forcible pos
session of the road On Saturday afternoon a
number OF the directors and officers accompan-
led by about thirty or forty men proceeded to
the depot in this city. just before the time for
the train leaving for Watertown, turned off the
conductors, engineers and other officers. after
some resistance on the part of the Freeman men,
and took entire possession of the tram. The
jackson men" were mnch in the ascen-
deucy as to numbers that the other had no
chance to make any resistance, and went on to
Watcrtown oustlng the Freemanites as they
went along, and giving possession TO some of
their own party. The thing was done so uncer-
enormously, that little was known about it in
this city until yestet day, when the Jacksonites
were brought back In irons by the Chief of PO-
lice to answer the charge OF riotous conduct.
At Watertown there more excitement
than any where else on the road, although il
luckily happened that one received any very
serious injuries at time the police came
very near having serious affrav with some of
the burghers of that place, who took the part of
the Jacksonltes, and made some hostile demon
STATIONS, but getting pretty severely handled
concluded TO keep uIt OF the meelc. The chief
got an ugly clip III the mouth. but we believe
no other injuries We're sustained by the police.
As the number OF prisoners was larger than
that of the police, the chief had hem handcufred
until they reached TINS city. Some of them felt
rather dIspleased at being put in irons, but
others laughed at it IS a good joke.
The parties who We're arrested at Watertown
are Samuel L. Rose, D. c. jackson, Geo Patter-
son. L. ). St. John, James 2. Wood, Hubbard
Atkins, John Sheapy, John +. Kennedy Dam
tel Hatiher, Edward Mahoney, John Connolly,
Patrick McDonough aud Luther May.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, they were
all brought up in the police court to answer the
charge OF riotous conduct. The examination of
the parties postponed to the IOtu inst, and
the defendants required to give bail in the sum
of $500 each for their appearance

Pacific Hotel Observation-Disclosures

The examination of Taylor, charged with
murder aud arson. was continued at St Louis
on Monday. The evidence is thus summed up
by the Democrat
The pending examination in this cas- e has thus
far wiped out some of the very exciting state
ments hastily published on the dav. after Tay -
lors arrest. The 5000 or $1,000 on Doane
appear never to have existed. TAYLOR did not
arrive at the Townsley House after or during
the alarm of fire, bat least full hour before it.
He did not 90 there without boots or shoes on,
but had his boots on, and was otherwise in full
dress. No blood was discovered on the sheets
in which he slept. Thus are some of the hide
Gus features of this affair, as it first appeared
entirely obviatcd. 1t seems that the suspicious
against him all originated from his unfortunate
propensity to Uu1rbGtsc5liSc, and TO make 4 lie
70 and martyr of himself
In connection with this sad affair the Demo-
crat gives the following remarkable instance of
cIaIrvoyance or spiritual sight
The following circumstance is related to Us
by one of our most prominent citizens, who re-
ceived the intelligence by letter from his wife
now RESTING in the State Of New York. On
the night Of the terrible destruction of the Pa
cIfic Hotel, 4 little brother of Mr.. Henry Roch-
ester, living at home with his parents, near
Avon. in the State of New York, awoke some
time after midnight with screaming and tears,
saying that tie hotel IN 81 Lo,as ,cas on fire. and
his brother Henry acas burning TO death. So in
tense was his alarm and horror that it was with
considerable difficulty he could be quieted.-
On the following day at noon the parents re-
celved a teieGrapbic dispatch from this city
confirming the little boys dream in every par
tIcular.
