GUT OF THE ASHES,
The ST. Louis and Southeastern Ma
chine ShOps to be Rebuilt

chine Shops to be Rebuilt.
A committee of the citizens of Evans
vile, Ind, waited Oh Gen. WinslOw, Pres
ident and General Manager of the st. Louis
and Southeastern Railway, at st. Louis,
No, on Saturday last, and offered on part
of the city of Evansville to give said COM
pany all the ground they might require for
locating the shops of the St. Louis divi-
| sion, recently destroyed at Mt. Vernon,
! ILL.,, and also to make a muni6ceIt doBa-
tion to be applied to rebuilding and equip
| ing the establishment. so that the loss sus-
tanned by the road by the fire will not be seri-
ously felt. The condition on which this
arrangement is to be made, is that the
shops shall be located in Evansville. The
| citizens of Mt. Vernon, Ills, are also max
| ing efforts to have the shops rebuilt at that
| place. Gen. WinSlOw, Col. Shrader and
Others, of the st. Louis and Southeastern
| Railway Co., are now in Evansville, con-
| sidering the matter, but no definite conclu-
sion has yet been reached.
We would also state, that the day after
the shops at Mt. Vernon, Ills, We're burnt,
| J. L. Martin, President of the Evansville
and Chicago Railroad, telegraphed Gen.
| Winston, offering TO repair cars, engines,
etc, of the st. Louis and Southeastern
| Railway at the Evansville and Chicago
shops, at Evansville, and to charge only
the exact cost of the same. This kind
offer will be of great value to the st.
Louis and Southeastern Company, en-
| abling them to keep their machinery de-
partment in good order at actual cost.

At a regular meeting of St. Mary's Or
phan Association, held last Sunday, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted and copy
Of it ordered to be spread on the minutes,

AMERICAN:
Resolved, that St. Mary'S Orphan Asso-
citation is not responsible for the commune
cation in the UNION AND AMERICAN of
June /, 1874, in regard to the piano at the

lished by their authority, and they had
nothing to do with the awarding of the
piano to any one; and, if an award was
made. they are in no way responsible for it.

There were fine rains in Weakley county
during the past week, and the corn looks
greener, the wheat fuller, and cotton is
popping up everywhere, when the farmers
thought that it was dead.

A larger crop of wheat will be harvested
in LauderJlale county this season than for

and both cotton and corn are growing finely.
