COvINGTON NEWS.

STREET RAILROADS -EXCTTEMEY AMONG
Our CTTlzENs.-A great excitement prevailed
among our citizens yesterday, occasioned by
the proposition from the Coyington and Gin.
cinnati Bridge Company to construct street
railway, for the purpose of carrying botl
freight and passengers from the river TO the
Covington and Lexington Railroad Depot
the freight trains to run Mt night only, and
the passenger trains during the day.
We have not yet fully examined the ordi.
nance granting the franchise, as drafted by
Mr.. Finnell, President of the Bridge Com.
pany, and presented to Council for the con.
sideration of that body, but have only
glanced at its main feature, which is, that the
Company offers, in consideration of the right
to lay track on the principal streets of the
city, and run cars thereon, under proper reg.
ulations for thirty years, to increase the sub
scriptioh to the Cincinnati and Covipgton
Bridge Company, at least $l5000O which
will insure its construction hh,E =
We understand that this increase will come
from certain railroad interests in Ohio, in or
derto affect an uninterrupted communication
for freight and passengers between the Ohio
and Kentucky roads which, IL is believed
would add greatly to their business. --7
The ordinance was merely presented to the
Council at its last session, and ordered to be
printed, and special meeting called for Mon
day night next to consider the matter.
As soon as the proposition became gener-
ally known the most intense, determined and
unanimous opposition to the scheme was al
once manifested by our citizens. Although
in favor of street railroads. they regard such
grant as the one asked in this instance as
most disastrous to the interests of the city
They believe that it will be giving away q
valuable franchise, and one which may be
made source of great revenue; that the in
crease of stock in the bridge is no considera-
tion whatever, as the bridge must and will
be built, and that, too before the expiration
of the five years in which the company pro-
pose to complete it. IN ~ rg N
What opinions are entertained by the
members Of Council, we do not know, and we
have not sufficiently Investigated the subject
to speak of the merits or dement's of the OBJ
jections urged, but only chronicle them as
they exist. -r-, - r,~ .,r
A lively discussion may be expected, on
Monday night next, and considerable outside
pressure will, no doubt be brought to bear
TO defeat the measure. Whatever may be its
fate, one thing is certain, street railroads are
fixed fact in Covington, and sufficient pro-
vision to secure their early completion can
not be much longer delayed.
~ FIRE.-Last night between eight and nine
20 clock, the husk-house attached TO the mat
trass factory belonging to Mr.. Sanderson, 10
Gated on Fifth-street near Scott, was entirely
consumed. The flames communicated to
somt Vother buildings but were eNtinguished
before etiectiug any material damage. The
loss amounted to about 5000, which was
amply covered by insurance. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an in

A STEAMER WRECKED AND SIXTY Souls
LosT-The steamer Mimrod, sailing between
Liverpool and Cork, was lost with all on
board on the I'd inst The unfortunate YES
sci was seen about eight o'clock, between the
South Bishop and Ramsay Island, driven be-
fore the gale, and to all appearances under
no command. She struck on the rocks and
parted in three compartments. About thirty
persons were seen on board, including some
six soldiers, one female with four little chill
dren, which were seen clinging to her when
last observed. Three of the unfortunate
creatures on board each took to life buoy and
jumped into the sea. Two of them were seen
to sink very soon; the other man was assisted
by some spars, and kept on the water for
about an hour, but ultimately perished. An
attempt was made to throw rope on shore,
but to no purpose, as the sea was running SO
high. All on board disappeared with the
vessel. Their cries were heartrending.

MYSTERIOUS AND HORRIBLE AFFAIR-THE

MURDERED.-The oyster sloop =. A. johnson,
of Islip, L. l., was found abandoned in the
lower bay of New York on Wednesday morn

to believe that the captain and crew had been
murdered and their bodies thrown overheard.
