EXTRAORDINARY ENTERPRIsE-A Section OF
The Chattanooga Rditroad.-At an early hour
last Sunday morning several gangs Of
hearty, willing laborers began digging up
ground at point opposite Jackson square,
between the Pontchartrain railroad track
and the river. Just in this neighborhood
MI. Morgan had placed ties and sleepers for
the purpose of making track from the
sugar landing opposite the square, to his
ferry landing, as he intends loading cars
there, and then to run them on board boat
to be transported to the other side OF the
river. Mr. Morgan has been made aware of
the fact that the Chattanooga company is
possessed of right of way along the place
mentioned, yet his cross-track was to
be 80 constructed as to ignore the rights of
the Chattanoogaites when his rails were
once laid, if would become quite impossible
for the projected track to find room for
passage. This discovery having been made,
the new company found it necessary TO use
a little foresight to flank NJ. Morgan and
any Injunction ne might resort to. The
work of Sunday WAS the flank against both
powers The gangs labored so ipdustriou6ly
that before midnight several hundred feet
OF railroad were completed, and the con-
tested ground bound with iron rails almost
ready for trains to pass over The work
was no tride, as it became necessary to IN
earth large sleepers well imbedsd.
During the entire day great numbers Of
citizens visited the locality TO see the men,
shoulder to shoulder, making railroad
under difficulties. ALI wondered at the en-
ergy, vim and enterprise displayed. Each
man handled spade, pick, axe OF bar with
q willingness which told of the capital and
system which directed the bold operations
bold because the work was IN conflict with
the wishes of one of our largest capitalists.
All dag the gangs toiled, and at night were
relieved by others. These continued until
midnight, when they retired, leaving behind
3 firm railroad track, where the previous
morning was nothing but an anDroken
surface. We remained there during
the night, as few persons expressed
tie belief that at the hour when
Monday Should be ushered in, mid
night trouble OF some kind would ensue;
perhaps blood be shed, o., at least, track
or two be torn up. To insure order and pre-
vent any sort of disturbance, Captains Cain
and Badger remained near the scene with a
small force; but the precaution proved IN
necessary.
During the morning the Chattanoogaites
took formal possession OF square OF bat
ture ground at the head ofSt. Joseph street,
and fenced it. which, in manner, interteres
with the loading and unloading of the Nor
gan steamships, as the square fenced faces
up to the river.

ARREST or MIR. MUsHAwAY-A'to"e''
Phase of Fraudulent State Wa'rGntS.-
Yesterday, Mr. Mushaway, an elderly man,
who was in the confidence of Mr. eX-Audltor
Wickiffe, was arrested and locked up in the
first precinct station, charged with felony,
before and after the fact. We understand
that the complainant is Mr.. Strauss,
money br ker, who asserts that he has been
victimized to the extent of nearly one nun
bred thousand dollars by fraudulent war
rants which be purchased some time ago.
The facts In the case have not become
public, but there are rumors concerning
the transaction which are very damaging to
several parties. When arrested, Mr.. Musha-
way had fifteen thousand dollars On his
person. At eleven o'clock last night he had
not been released on bonds.
Last Saturday night Mr.. Wickliife, IN
manner disguised. visited Mr.. Strauss at his
private residence, and there produced
$50 900 in State warrants, which he WICK
life offered to sell at more than the quoted
discount Mr. Strauss agreed to purchase
them, paying ST. 900 in cash and agreeing
to give check Monday morning for SlS, COO
more. Yesterday Mr.. Strauss ascertained
that the warrants were fraudulent, when he
Immediately sought the services of Captain
Schreiber to ferret out the transaction. The
| Captain was not long in arriving at con-
cusion, keeping close watch on
| Mr.. Mushaway during the day. Mr.
Strauss had given this person for
Mr.. Wicklffe the promised check in sealed
| envelope, but the check was incomplete, the
figures consisting of nothing more than
| cyphers. The first check which the broker
gave, for $4,000, had been handed to a
third party to collect from the Southern
Bank, but Mr.. Strauss had stopped payment
| in time, so the third party went off without
earning his commission. After this Captain
| Schneider arrested Mr.. Mushaway, bu. had
not found Mr.. Wicklitfe at midnight.
| We found some trouble in gathering the
above, and the statements may not be cor
rect in every particular. but We would moi
| have cleaned this much had not Captain
| Schneider favored US.

THE VISITING FIREMEN.-The Iinth OF
April in Mobile is ike unto our fourth OF
March with the fire brigade. On each occa-
sion several companies exchange civllities
by visiting, to the extent Of several COM
panies, delegations and invited guests.
Three companies, Crescent No. "a, Columbia
No. 5 and Trad Ferry No. Il, accompanied
by many friends, went over 70 Mobile last
week to participate in the annual celebra-
ton, and Jolly good time they had. All
who have returned tell glowing tales Of the
efficiency of the Mobile boys and their ma
chimes, and make especial mention o. the
last parade as far finer than any previous
one.
Mobile and New Orleans Eremen became
60 intimately mixed during the visit, that
several lost their identity entirely, and re-
covery will not be experienced until next
year, if ever. On the trip over the lake the
water and weather grew so boisteTous that
the boys were about to fire up one of their
steamers and pump old Pontchartrain dry,
only it would be death to go many poor
little fishes and interrupt navigation; be
sides, the vessel they were on needed a little
moisture to make the trip to our sister city.
We are pleased to inform our readers that
not the smallest mishap nsrred the exeur
sion from first to last.
