RRoReAN1zAr1oE.-Man Of the members o.
tion are making an effort to revive it. and there
is every prospect that soon the "Light Infan-
try" will be again upon the streets as in days
OF yore: A preliminary meeting was held at
which Captain Fisher presided, and number
OF the old members were present an xious to
resume their places. The Infantry, we be-
ieve, was originally formed IN 1895, and was
the leading military organization in this part
OF the country. 1t had among its members
many OF our leading citizens, aud in its time
TAFT, Darlington, Davis, and others. A few
years previous to the war 1t was q battalion OF
three companies commanded by Colonel J. Y.
Davis, and when the call was made for volun-
enter the service Of the Government, bat the
Government accepted bat one company. that
commanded con, by Colonel Lem Towers. It
if this organization is revived.
How TO Do IT.-There are rules OF the street
railroads against passen gers jumping off or on
the cars While in motion. AS there are ssme
persons who will ins,stin violating the rules,
at the risk OF their necks, arms, and legs, we
republish for their guidance, few hints as to
prefacing the same with the caution never to
attempt to jump from the front platform under
any circumstances. In jumping on or off the
rear platform; always spring in the direction
in which the horses are travelling, otherwise,
as il frequently occurs, hasty people lose their
balance and are thrown with much terce to the
ground. This morning, while a stranger was
riding up the Avenue. he attempted TO jnmp
out OF one Of the cars in an opposite direction
from that in which it was going. when he fell
upon the hard cobble stones with considerable
force, thereby dislocating his ankle and cutting
his check severely.
THE POINT OF Rocks RAILRoAD-Yester-
day the workmen employed on this end Of the
line, in grading the Point of Rocks railroad,
bavfng completed q section, stopped work,
and were yesterday afterRoon sent to the Re-
lay, and from thence To the Point of Rocks,
where they will unite with the force there
an d work this way. The temporary abandon
ment of the work at this end Of the line is
caused by some misunderstand ding with the
owners OF property through which the line
has been run as to the right OF way; but this
will be settled in a few days and the work be
re entered upon from this point. We under-
stand that the force working at PARIS Ridge
have nearly completed all the heavy cutting
to be done on the line OF the road at that point.
