DGsGRACEFuL.-Last night meeting of the Sixth
Ward Reform Association was held in the third
story of the building known Marion Hall, ad-
joining the engine house of Company No. 6, North
Gay street, and at the same time the Fifth Ward
American Council was in session in the story be-
low. The last named body adjourned much sooner
than the Reform meeting, and as some of their
rowdy members emerged from their room they fired
several pistol shots up the stairway, the balls TAX
ing effect in the walls the door of entrance to
the room where the Reform meeting was being
held. The reports soon drew a crowd about the
building, among whom were some police officers,
but owing to the fact that no one saw the pistols
fired, except those belonging to the rowdv crowd
no arrests could be made. On hearing of the oc-
currence Capt. Brashears sent several of his officers
to the spot, but nothing afterwards occurred.
THE CRY RAILwAY.-Y esterday morning large
force of workmen commenced laying the track of
the City Railway on Baltimore street. between
North and Sharp streets. The work is progress.
ing very rapidly, and it is presumed that before the
end of the week the cars will be running upon the
formerly interdicted ground. The work was COM
menced both at North and Sharp streets the work
men at Sharp street coming eastwardly, laying the
southern track, and those at North street adyanc-
ing westwardly, preparing the northern track. Up
to a late hour last night large number of hands
were still engaged, and would probably continue to
work all night, to interfere little as possible
with business upon our main thoroughfare
NARROW EsCAPE.-Y Yesterday forenoon, as Mr..
Geo. Creagh was launching a scow--a number OF
which he is now building at Gardner's ship-yard
FelPs Point-some of the blocks used in the pro
cess, accidentally cantered over, knocking down
two of the hands, who came very near being crush
ed to death the scow glided into the water 1t
happened, however, that the machine was sufficient
y above the surface of the ground to pass over the
mems bodies, merely giving them pretty tight
squeeze.

den OF the Penitentiary, who was stabbed on Sat
urday, by one of the convcts named Brown, was
