REARRANGENfENT OF CITY RAILWAY
LINE.-The Board of Directors of the Rich
mond Street Railway Company have in
structed their President to cause the route
Of the line, with the approval OF the Coun-
Gil, to be changed so as to run from Shafer
street down Cherry street, and down Cherry
street to the entrance gate of Hollywood,
instead of as at present by the roundabout
way, via Morton's flower garden, to the
city reservoir. The new route will be run
as directly as possible from Grace street to
Hollywood, and will, therefore, be better
patronized than the old one. Hands are now
employed taking up the track along the line
from the reservoir to Shafer street.

THE HEATED TERM AT AN END
About 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon dark
and heavy cloud, indicating rain, was seen
approaching the city from the South. Its
appearance revived the dropping spirits of
our citizens. Before reaching us, no viewer,
the cloud seemed to divide, the fragments
passing the way on either side of our suffer-
ing city, and only a few drops Of rain pat
tered down. This proved to be only a
flank movement or fent of some sort for
after nightfall the forces were massed and
made o furious attack upon us. A heavy
rain fell, and it was accompanied by vivid
flashes Of lightning and loud peals of thun-
der. /. The remainder Of the night was con-
seqnently comfortably cool. The attack
was renewed this morning, and the heated
term has been pretty effectually broken up.
