Work on the Louisiana Western Railroad
is progressing steadily all along the line, not
withstanding the yellow fever scare. So it
appears from our exchanges. We learn from
Capt. T. Van Slyck that three steam pile
drivers are kept busy and from sizty-eigh
to eighty piling per day are being driven on
the Sabine river bottom. The tiers for the
bridge have been put in. The central tier, or
one on which the bridge is TO revolve, IS
made Of 100 piling, driven as close together
as possible casing IS to be put on the out
side OF this mass Of piling, and filled In with
cement. The bridge was to have been shipped
from Philadelphia on the fifteenth ultimo,
but 1t has not been heard from yet. The
track from Orange Is laid to within three
quarters Of mile Of the river bottom, and
the grading is completed all the way. The
work has been retarded somewhat by the non
arrival of iron, a large quantity of which is
shipped On the vessel with the bridge. Bridg-
ing the Sabine river will be about the last job
on the whole line, and il nothing turns up to
stop the work, that will be finished by the
first Of December, and the connection be-
tween Texas and New Orleans will be COM

July 80, IN the Presbyterian Hospital m this
city. The vessel quilted Havana on June ID,
AMI on July she reached quarantine. Three
of her crew were then sick, but they seemed
to be suffering more from lassitude than any
specific disease, although the symptoms were
those OF yellow fever. The vessel was de-
tained at quarantine because OF the sickness
on board and because she came from Ill In
fected port; but the men in the hospital grew
steadily better aud after nine days. they were
discharged.
The vessel was unloaded at quarantine, and
was twice fumigated. Dr. Vanderpoel had
her cleaned thoroughly wherever q scrubbng

and, 1t is said might have been allowed to

Capt. Mccormack, to substitute other ballast
for the Havana stone. Then after having de-
tain the vessel at quarantine for fifteen

up the East river to Pratt's oil works, to take

HOW BEN MACE's NECK WAS BROKEN.
Al Incident at the Brighton Beach Races
Last Saturday..
IN. " Sun August 1N.I

The races wound up with desperate han
dicap steeplechase over the full course, about
pounds; Ben Mace, 100; Lizzie D., AZ; Bay
Rum, 100; Dungeon, 1875, and Katie F., rs,
started for the purse Of $50, OF which 500
went to the second horse Daley Brothers
Ben Mace and Lizzie d. were the favort. )
in the pools at S120, Katie 2. SIS, Nentila-
tor S32, Bay Rum $50, ard Dungeon IS.
1t was fast growing dark when the horses
started. The field being wet and the footing
for the horses uncertain,. accidents We're
looked for; They came. The six started off
Lizzie d. soon taking the lead and clearing
the jumps at the top OF her speed. Katie T.
followed Lizzie, several lengths behind and
was the only horse in the pack that gave
wall after clearing the water jump In the
first quarter mile. Mccarthy, the rider of
Dungeon, rolled away from the horse unin-
jured, Dungeon bounding away riderless
the field, taking the jumps safely, and knock
Ing down half a dozen hurdles, until they had
cleared the water jump the second time and
arrived at the wall Just above the grand
stand, where Dungeon had taken cropper.
Here Ben Mace went in the air with his hind
on his head, he gave three convulsive kicks,
and died with a broken neck. Young
Thayer, from Ithaca, who was riding Ben
Mace, crept out from under the colt as he

his feet. He soon curled up on the track,
however, and was taken into room under
the stand, Injured internally, and blood
streaming from wounds in his head. Taylor,
on Bay Rum, was following Ben Mace, when
the latter broke his neck. In order to save
him from going over on Ben Mace, Taylor, to
his credit, swerved Bay Rum around SO the
horse staggered and fell, Taylor sliding off
uninjured. Bay Rum then jumped the rail
into the track, crossing the track, and leaping
the fence into the enclosure where the stand
Is located. Ia the mean time Lizzie d. kept
on in the lead, Katie 2. creeping up to her as
Katie 2. collared Lizzie D., whose life had
been pumped out by Divan too early in the
race. AS they passed under the wire Katie
F., the Canadian mare recently from Sara
tOga, who had been ridden in a mastery man
ner by Mcbride, led Lizzie D. by length.
