RATHER ANNoYING.-The attention of the
directors of the Pontchartrain railroad
should certainly be called to the way in
which some of their subordinates trifle with
the public convenience and evince contempt
of public rights.
Last Sunday night about ten o'clock the
Pontchartrain cars, while passing along the
levee, were halted so that the middle of the
long train was directly in front of Canal
street and no one could pass without tramp
ing nearly a square in the mud to get
around.
The stoppage was made TO enable the en-
gineer, conductor, and perhaps some other
employee, to stop at the corner coffeehouse
and get drink, which pleasing operation
lasted about ten minutes, and those who
wished to pass down to cross the river were
compelled to wait until it was the pleasure
of the railroad magnate to move ON. Thus
people ran the risk of missing the boat, the
only alternative being to splash through the
mud
