THE RALEIGH RAILROAD.
The County to Subscribe $4,000

The County to Subscribe $4,000.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. M. d. L..
Stewart and Major Z. A. Beecher pre-
scented the petition of the Memphis and
Raleigh Railroad Company, asking the
County Court to indorse the bonds of
the Company to the amount of $50, 1000
to aid in the equipment of the road.
The Company proposes to grade and
cross-tie the road, and the $4,000 is not
to be paid until such work is finished;
then the bonds will be applied to pur-
chasing iron and rolling stock. The
distance from Memphis to Raleigh is
about eight and a-half miles, and the
road can be completed and put in run
ming order for $SS,O0O. The Company
has already received stock subscription
in cash, S23, 900, and in real estate, $780,
900. The road can be graded, bridged
and the cross-ties put down for S25, 900.
The Company asks that when the road
shall be finished the county may loan
them $4,000 with interest coupons at
tached, payable semi-annually, the bonds
having fifteen years to run, the county
to be secured with lien upon the fran
chise of the road. That the loan may
become binding. they ask that an cleo
ton may be had in November, when the
loan may be submitted to popular vote
of the people, the Company to pay all
expenses incident to the election.
The famous narrow-gauge has been
adopted by the company. The narrow
gauge has been shown to be superior for
all purposes over the broad-gauges by
the exhibits and reports made by the
officers of the Festinog railway in Wales
gauge one foot eleven and a half
inches, and the narrowgauge railroads
in Russia, Canada and India.
The advantages of the narrowgauge
railroad have been summed up as fol-
lows: l. In large comparative saving in
first construction. 2. In larger proper
ton of paying load to non-paying weight
of train. 8. In the great reduction in
wear and tear of permanent way, by
reason of light rolling stock. 4. In the
saving in wear of wheel-tires from re-
duced weight. 8. In the large proper
tionate power of locomotives. G. In in
creased velocities gained by the light
system. Z. In the greater economy in
working traffic. s. In the comparative
increase in the capabilities Of traffic.

the favorite in the pools. A good start
was obtained, and the horses sped away
punched. Morgan Scout took the lead,
but soon fell back, giving place to Sem
tinel, with Vidocq in the third position.

the other horses, but Sentinel continued

METEOROLOGICAL RECORD.
RIVER, BUSINESS. MISCELLANEOUS.


The river has declined another inch
since our last report, and was falling
slowly at noon to-day, with FIVE feet four
inches over the bars below, an inch or
two more to Cairo, and not the slightest
prospect Of an improvement in the chan
nels of any ofthe Western streams. I'll Q
situation is highly encouraging to the
owners Of large steamers, such as the
Belle Lee, Richmond and Great Repub-
lie, that at this time last year we're earn
ing money for their owners. A gradual
decline is reported at Cairo and St.
Louis, while the upper tributaries bf the
(so-called) Father of Waters, have mar
rowed down to small rivulets, wherein
school children wade and float their min
iature boats. The Ohio is lower to-day
at Louisville than it has been in fif-
teen years, there being but two feet at
Puppy creek, and Is inches at French
Island. The White and Arkansas have
not improved, but are becoming worse
fast. The Mcdonald and Columbia ar
rived after our report had been closed
yesterday, and brought fair trips. The
Celeste, from White River, came light,
and the Cheek was fully laden. The de-
partures carried good trips. Several
boats arrived to-day. The Colorado,
from st. Louis, departed for Vicksburg
with a good trip. She added ten tons of
freight here. The Columbia came in
with a good trip of grain and produce.
She tore half of her forecastle off in
sparing off, and was several hours
aground above Cairo. The Mountain
eer, from ST. Louis, came in with a good
trip. The'A. j. White brought in %
bales cotton and $50 sacks seed. The
Phil Allin came in with ll3 bales cotton
and 5l4 sacks seed. The Mollie Ebert,
fourt and a-half days out came up from
New Orleans, came up and discharged
400 bundles ties, 90 boxes tin, so baskets
wine, Ii barrels rice. She had 275 tons
for St. Louis. The Mary f. Poe is

The GAINESVILLE failed to get her cargo
out in time to leave yesterday, but will
