The first boat-lOad of iron rails for the
new street railway arrived from the rolling
mills to-day, and the work Of laying the
track will at once begin. Mr.. Gibson has
now only seven working.days left for the
fulflment OF his contract with the company,
and " be does not come up to time he for
feits $50 per diem. There are yet good
many gaps in the line OF the tTamway, and
not rail has yet been laid. But it is
thought the contractor will have plenty OF
time, and that The cars will be running by
the 18th instant.
The stockholders Of the company at q
meeting held last night made an urgent
effort to raise the two or three thousand
dollars more OF stock necessary 10 build and
equip the line. The sum of $3.50 was
raised on the spot, and three committees Of
five appointed TO canvass the city for more
subscriptions.
Mr. James Frazier, OF Rockbrdge, the Re-
adiuster candidate for Congress in the dis
trict, has been very busy in the neighbor-
hood recently, but cannot have got much
comfort. Yesterday he aud Mr. Lady met
Messrs. j. s. Diggs and II. n. Williams, OF
this city, at Pedlar Mills, Amherst, and
were worn out by the latter Frazier re-
tired, indeed, as soon as bis own speech
Qhe trst) was made. He went in the eve-
ming up to the rolling-mips, where be no
doubt attempted the free-trade bugbear
against Mr.. Tucker. 1t Is announced that
he and Riddleberger will speak here to-
morrow evening, but they will get but cold
comfort in Lyncbburg.
The roadway OF Main street between
Seventh and Eleventh received the last link
OF The new Belgian block on yesterday eve
Ming. The payements are how TO be relaid
ana wiGened TO correspond with the street
improvement.
Rev. +. w. Hubbard, of Rappahannock.

Stephens church, Bedford. by the vestry

The City Council, at Its session last night.
appropriated the sum OF S17,475. 80 for the
expenses OF the city for the current month.
The Council rose 10 rebellion against the
last bill OF the Gas Company, which, it was
alleged, was largely IN excess OF the amount
OF gas actually consumed by the city. Sug-
gestions were made for the better measure
ment OF gas in the future, and the matter
was laid over for future consideration.
From the mortuary report for the month
OF September 1t appears that the total
number OF deaths was H-whites, 8; col
cred, 10.

by Mayor WingfeId during the three months
ending the Both OF September was greater
tnan those collected during the whole

on the pretext that Frazier was disturbed |
