ED. STAR: I was well pleased to see
your allusion in the Newport column TO
the difficulty long existing between the
Short-line railroad and the property
holders and residents on Saratoga street.
The preposterous idea emanating from
some cracked-brained genius of the rail
road to lower the track in some places
two and half feet where they thought
the street high, was TO crafty the COM
plants of the people in this section and
to evade the jarring of the houses.
Another suggestion to raise the grade
and track at Harries street 2T feet
high where they thought the track too
low would injure the crossing streets
two squares each side OF the track.
This was to crafty the complaints Of
the people in Section No. 2, and another
jarring houses caused by an undue rate
Of speed of the railroad trains. A
strange geological suggestion, a singular
proposition, was made by Mr.. Gill, the
receiver OF the road, to Mayor Constans,
OF Newport, at Louisville. Mr.. Gill
stated that surveys had already been
made for that purpose, but that it would
be necessary to wait for the Legislature
to take action in the matter. Mr.. Gill,
If there is another right Of way to be
bought from the City Council or from
the Legislature, buy from the legal own
ers, the property-holders; and if not,
you just let Saratoga street be as it is,
II you please. j. GELsoN.

Burglars during last night made an
unsuccessful attempt to rob the First
National Bank, oh the corner of Fifth
and Madison streets. The work was ev-
identity we'll planned, as they gained en-
the ceiling from the third floor Of the
building. Numerous lines Of telegraph
were arranged for giving the alarm if
any one. should approach. 1t seems that
their undertaking was more OF job
than they anticipated, as they made
several attempts to blow the safe, which
is evident from the fact that the door
had been sprung, 80 that the proprietors
were unable to unlock it this morning.
About 5000 worth of hne tools were
found. in the vault in front of the safe, a
lot of putty and a can OF powder was also
found upon the floor Messrs. Stein
baym and Leuerman say that they heard
several loud reports during the night.
When we left the city one of HalPs
workmen had not yet been able to open
the door of the safe. The police, as
usual, were entirely ignorant Of the af-
fair until this morning, although the res
ports were heard inside the houses some
distance away.
We have heard numerous complaints
on account OF the filthy condition of the
alley running from Madison to Scott, be-
tween Cooper and Seventh streets. The
slops that have been emptied in the al
ley and the numerous. decaying animals,
such as rats, CATS and dogs, render the
air dense with horrible perfume.
Before Mayor Athey came Jos. John
son, the cooper, for drunk. He was
fined 81 and costs for the offense.
Some time during last night thieves
entered the flour mill OF Degiow &
Boursch and attempted to rob the safe.
They succeeded In breaking the hinges
but fortunately did not succeed ip lift
ing the door. About a dollars worth OF
postage stamps were taken from the
desk drawer, which was ali the eompen-
sation they received for their lxborious
effort. Where were the police during
the robberies' last nights
We have no day police. Whether our
night police sleep in daylight or after
night is question.
Maskers were out en- masse last night.
