FAR.-The ladies of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South in this city are making a praise
worthy effort to pay off the debt which encum-
bers the church at Gretna. For this purpose they
are going to have a fair at the Masonic Hall, on
81. Charles street, beginning next Tuesday, the
2lst, and continuing for four days and rights. In
addition to the other attractions, there will be
tabeaux wants, and CONCERT, every evening"
without any extra charge for admission. And the
price of admission by the way is fixed at the re-
markably low figure of twenty-five cents. Every.
thing considered, the question is, not who will 90
TO the fair, but who can possibly stay away. The
entertainment will be given in a cause which en-
lists the sympathies and good will of all our people.

UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY.

An important suit of james Fisk, jr., agt.
the Union Pacific Railroad Company cape before Judge
Barnard Friday, in which the plaintiff asked that an
Injunction DO granted restraint ing the Union Pacific
Railway Company from paying dividends TO their stock
holders Mr. Fisk alleges that he had subscribed aud
rendered payment for 10000 shares in the stock
Of the Union Pacific Railway Company ut differ
ent times that the Treasurer OF the Company re.
fused receive his subscriptions and the directors deny
that the plaintiff acquired any rights by his said sub
scription and tender that he demanded certificate
certificates for his shares and the directors refuse 10 give
allow him certificate therefor Also, that the Com
panys franchises and property OF great value and
the various grants rights and privileges conferred the
railway by OF Congress OF far greater value In
amount than the cost Of constructing and equpng the
railroad telegraph line, of doing all
other things required by law. He then goes 20 say
that, instead Of undertaking by their officers
and agents To build the road To make reasonable
contract with other persons for such construction they
havo entered into arrangement with company
which, he charges, have established obtained control
Of the Credit MOber OF America and that the under
taking has placed Ia the hands Of this company To
tho exclusion OF the regular officers aud contractors of
the company, for the benefit OF its stockholders Mr.
Fisk believes that contract has been
made by which the bonds OF the railroad have been
transferred TO the control and benefit thereof vested
IN the Credit Mobilier OF America by the rail
road Company The defendants are ordered 20 show
before the court on the 2lst mst why injunc
ton should not be issued.
