TIE c. & V. r. II. LAYS IT'S TRACK
DOWN COMMERCIAL AVENUE WITH
NEAINESS AND DISPATCH

Cairo was TO have had 4 railroad war this
week. Certain property holders on Conn
mcrcial avenue, opposed to having the Cairo
4 Vincennes railroad lay their track down
the avenue, made no secret of tleir inten-
ton to get OFT a writ of injunction to pre-
vent the company taking the obnoxious
step. Our Commercial avenue ncighbors
went to bed on Saturday night, dreaming
ofrailroad tracks, cross-ties and injunctions,
and woke Sunday morning TO - what I?
TO find the wicked, misunderstanding
c. d V. railroad represented by
about one hundred and fifty laborers, with
teams and all needful tools, busy laying he
railroad track down Commercial avenue !
Crowds gathered all along the railroad track
and ut every street corner, and for awhile
the subJectwas iiercely discussed by the ,ign.
ers 10 the late petition 10 the city council
Meanwhile the work went brayely ON, and
the track was laid down to the corner OF
Sixth street. Yesterday the ears ran down
10 the new terminus and, we presume, will
continue TO do so. Notwithstanding
the opposition of the aggrieved
property holders of Commercial
avenue. The Sabbath day adyant-
age, taken by the railroad, has nipped di'-
flcuty in the bud and eilectually disposed of

motive will sound like an old friend, and the
nightmare fears, AS TO the danger Of the cars
running down the middle Of the street, will
have disappeared. So mote il be.
