On account of making some repairs in
Three-and-Twenty trestle on the Blue Ridge
Railroad between this place and Pendleton,
the passenger train on this line has not
been running further than Anderson since
Monday, which has occasioned considerable
inconvenience, both to the citizens of the
towns on the road above this place and to
the travelling public. 1t was thought that
the work on the trestle would be near
enough completed to allow the train to pass
over It on last night.
There was large crowd in town on last
saleday, and while the order in the forenoon
was generally good, we regret to say that in
the afternoon it was just the reverse. The
marshals were kept quite busy, ane did all
in their power to preserve order. They ar
rested a good many for various causes du-
ring the day, and by sundown had the cal.
aboose crowded, some of the inmates of
which were very noisy and troublesome.
Strong drink flowed freely, and, of course,
contributed its full share to the mischief of
the day.
