September 9, 1878.
| It was rumored iu the city this afternoon
| that the attempt to remove the rails by the "A.
| & w. r. r. Go. would be renewed tonight,
and that large gang of colored laborers had
been engaged for that purpose. Should the
report prove correct, the railroad company will
be responsible for all the injury that may re-
suit, and that injury will not result is hardly
| within the range of probability, tor the Mayor
| has Instructed the police to guard the track
night and day, and to report any attempt TO
tear it up instantly at police headquarters when,
| if need be, the whole male portion OF the city
will be summoned as posse commltatuS to re-
sist it at any cost, for though Judge Keith
injunction restraints the City Council from IN
terferiug with the track, it does not give the
railroad company authority to tear 1t up aud
carry the iron away.
