A PLEASANT TIME.-Amongst the many reunions
that took place after the firemen's celebration
no peasanter or more genial gathering occurred
than that of Jackson Fire Company No. l8, who
entertained their guests, Independent Company
No. 2, of Carrollton. Eagle Hall, on Prytania
street, was selected for the festive assemblage,
and our young friend, W. L. Murphy who was en-
trasted with the commssary arrangements, ad-
mi9ably seconded the will of the company to treat
then friends in the most profuseIy generous and
tasteful style.
I. N. Marks. the worthy President of the Fire
mems Charitable Association, was installed in the
place Of honor, and was well supported by Hon.
S. P. DeLabarre, Emanuel Blessy, and many
other gentlemen, who were entertained by the
jackson boys in their accustomed manner.
After full justice had been done to the rich
yiands and excellent wines with which the tables
were gracefully and lavishly freghted, toasts be-
came the order of the day. Mr.. Marks was first
honored by the company, and he acknowledged
the compliment in some well chosen remarks,
proudly referring to the fact that the members had
preserved their purity as Southern organization
through the past, and he knew their character in
the future would be as bright as it ever was. The
Carrollton company was next attended, and the
appropriate toast was received in the cordial style
that could alone be expected.
Mr.. DeLabarre, in response to the toast drank in
compliment to him, acquitted himself in response
in his usual happy, genial and eloquent style.
Captain Fred. Gruber, ex-foreman of 49, whose
whoe-soued nature appears to "grow with his
growth, and strengthen with his strength" whose
genial disposition has not been shadowed a hairs
breadth by the din of war and the rough life of
soldier, was enthusiastically and vociferousy
called for. We always knew that Fred. was one
of those fellows who have the good luck to be
general favorite, but we had no idea he had such
hold on the hearts of the gallant fellows of lS.
His address, though brief was replete with happy
illusions, and of course, it must have been was
proudly and emphatically complimentary to the
fire department.
Our friend, Jos. H. De Grange the popular
secretary of the company, was next loudly called
for, and, in his usual modest manner, toasted the
Firemen's Charitable Association, which he truly
ever saw.
The gentlemanly and courteous foreman of the
company, friend Beyans, Mr.. E. Blessy, Mr.. j. B.
Collye and others, paid fitting tribute, in the way
of appropriate toasts, to the OCCASION after which
INC tolHpduy I'LL Iulo lfHe, anu pleCeuGu ny d
splendid band, marched to the residences of sew
eral friends and complimented them by sere-
made. Mrs MoultU on St. Charles street, Hon.
Charles Gayarre, and Mr.. Bevans, father of the
active and gallant foreman, were thus honored
while we had the pleasure of being with the com.
pany. We have rarely passed as pleasant time
as we did with Jackson Fire Company.
The CITY RAILROAD TRaUKs ON CANAL STREET.
Mr.. David McCoard, the contractor for laying the
New Levee street railroad, has taken out writ
in the Sixth District Court against the City Rail
road Company. 1t enjoins them from interfering
with the railroad track of plaintiff or placing any
distractions on the ground on which his track has
to run, and to remove Immediately the obstruc
tions in plaintiffs way and the ground which
his track has to run.
The special ground of litigation is that portion
of the neutral ground of Canal street, between
Magazine and Lew Levee streets.
The company, we presume, will appear in court
to-day, through their counsel, asking plaintiff to
show cause why the Injunction should not be set
aside.
