CAIRO INCIDENTs.-A correspondent of the
Paducah Herald, writing from Cairo, Ill, gives
the following as among the incidents which
occurred during the recent destructive fire at
that place:
Several persons were caught pilfering at
this FIRE, and were summarily ohastised. A
man named Stewart, formerly q. carpenter ON
the Emma Dean, was seen rummsging pile
of furniture, &C., belonging to John Conners,
an Irishman. Conners attempted to drive him
away, when Stewart attacked him with
knife, cutting him in several places and wound
ing him very, severely. He also cut COnners's
wife in the hand. He was pursued and twice
shot at, one ball striking him in the shoulder,
after which ne was arrested. As he was being
carried to Jail crowd of Irishmen attempted
to take him from the hands Of the officers,
which led to several other small fights, but he
was safely lodged in the lookup. Stewart
has heretofore borne good character, and has
o wife at Caledonia.
One fellow was caught with his bosom full Of
sardine boxes. His oaptor "hsnded him one or
two,"' saying as he did so, "steal Sardin@, you
id scoundrel, will your suppose you'd
have stole whales, If you could have got them
in Cairo" The excitement caused by the FIRE
was productive of several other skrimmsges,
which do not need notice.

STREET RAILROAD - INJUNCrIONs - ExCITE-
MEsT.--At midnight, might before last, body of
workmen, under the direction of the Cincin.
natl Street II. r. Company, appeared at the
intersection of Fourth and Vino streets, armed
with picks, crowbars, &C., to put down q curve
from their track on Vine street, to connect
with Fourth-street. Mr.. w. r. LOCKER,
member of the Council committee on roads and
canals, hearing the clatter, by virtue Of his
official authority, summoned a posse Of police
and obliged the men Co desist.
1t seems that the City Passenger Railroad
Company have held the official location of
their line, on Fourth-street, some weeks, and
learning, yesterday, by common rumor, that
the Cincinnati Street Railroad Company in
tended resuming their purpose, last night,
saw proper to commence the building of their
track on its proper site, as indicated by the
City Civil Engineer. Accordingly, at half
past one o'clock P. M, yesterday, their
workmen in large numbers were set to work
on Fourth.street, at the above intersection,
and proceeded with great rapidity to take up
the powders, open the street, put down their
rails and re-bowlder the track.
At this stage of the proceedings certain
property holders living near or owning build
ings on the line sued out an injunction before
Judge Storer, in bonds of $40 900, commanding
an estoppal of operations in building the rail-
road. -"
We learn that process was not properly
served, but SO soon as the proper officers Of the
road heard Of the Judges proceedings they
stopped their hands.
The street is left in an impassaole con dition;
but, IL the traok-layers could have worked a
few hours longer they would have had tho
highway nicely shaped up again.
The names of the gentlemen who sued out
the injunction are as follows, viz: George
Carlisle, VIM. Hooper, Samuel N. Pike, L. B.
Harrison, VIM. Harrison, Robert Mitchell,
John w. Baker, Henry Won Phul, Charles
Address and Winthrop B. Smith.

AssAULTINa WOMAN. Ellen Dodd, q
woman of bad repute, appeared in the Police
Court, yesterday, and charged two young men,
Charles B. Davis and Daniel Gulick, with
abusing her in shame full manner. She stated
that she was walking along Elm-street at two
o'clock yesterday morning; that she inquired
for place to sleep, when she was approached
by these young men, and that, under pretense
Of finding lodging for her, they conveyed her
to the levee and abused her in shameful
manner. They were fined five dollars and
costs EACH 1t would seem, from the light
punishment, that Judge Lowe placed very
little confidence in the statement Of Miss
D0dd.
