MONROE TO MONTICELLO.
IN. O. TilneS.1

IN. o. Times.l
We referred, yesterday, to the effort
now being made to secure the funds
necessary to build u railroad from Mon
roe, Louisiana, to Monticello, Arkan-
sas. The subject is of so much impor-
lance to the commercial interests of
New Orleans, that it cannot DC to often
brought before the mercantile commu-
nifty.
Some time ago, a proposition was
made to extend the Little Rock, Mis-
sissippi River and Texas railway from
Collins depot to Monticello. The mer-
chants of this city promptly subscribed
the necessary funds, and thereby Sc
cured a large and valuable trade. 1t
is probable that this limo will soon be
extended to Camden, and a large part
of Southern Arkansas will thus be
afforded an outlet at all seasons of the
year. Nevertheless tho people of
Southeastern Arkansas, and North
eastern Louisiana, will not be able TO
reach railroad with their produce
except by long haul overland.
From Monroe to the Arkansas line,
the distance is AZ miles, and the dis
lance thence to Monticello is about the
same. Tho Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific Company offers to take
stock to the amount of $4,000, and
the city of Monroe like sum. The
remainder must be made up by pri-
vate subscription which should be
done without difficulty. The mcr-
chants of New Orleans could well
afford to subscribe the entire sum.
There are no finer cotton lands in
the world than are to be found in
the parishes of Ouachita and More
house, and the counties of Ashley and
Drew. The population is hardy, in
dustrious and welI-to-do. The cotton
of those counties comes to New Or
leans, and their supplies are purchased
in this market. 1t is highly impor.
tant that our relations with that section
should be made even more intimate
than they now are.
The completion of the proposed line
would give another all-rail route from
this city to Pine Bluff, aud the conse
quent competition would be most ben
eficial to the commercial interests o
this city. We hope and believe thu
road from Monroe to Monticello viii
soon be built.

and thusly "mizzled." At least. he
was missing, and that is all that is
known of his whereabouts up to the
present time" 49,
Now we know Ben well and place
implicit confidence in all that he says.
Had he even added that this negro had
swallowed the barrel, instead of the
barrel swallowing him, and had gone to
the "Blue Grass region to have 1t
refillet1 with choice cold sour mash,"
we would be the last one to question
his veracity.

The negro roastabouts who we
mentioned last week as having had a
difficulty On board the steamer John
Hanna at Trenton last Sunday week,
were arrested and placed in the Jail at
Columbia. The one who did the cut
ting informed Mr.. Emile Girod,
sheriff of Caldwell parish, that he
would die before he would surrender.
A navy six was then placed in close
proximity to his breast, and he was
given his choice to surrender or die.
He chose the former, and was then
placed in Jail aud chained to the floor,
but Notwithstanding made his escape
during the night by christening his
shackles and crawling through a hole
in the brick wall. AS soon as it was
discovered that the ssbird had fiown,"
the sheriff set out in pursuit, and re-
captured the fugitive, and he is now
safely lodged In the ssMcGuire House,
in Monroe.

We Wonder

We Wonder
What has become of the cotton COM
press project:
There was something said not long
ago about erecting cotton seed oil
factory. OF late we have not heard
the subject mentioned. We wonder if
that enterprise has collapsed.
Several months ago steps were taken
and stock subscribed for the building
of a foundry, and tho prospects appear
Ell bright for q speedy realization of the
purposes of the originators.. We Won
der if the foundry, too, has been for
gotten.
Talking and writing are both of value
in the Inauguration of any enterprise,
but thinking and acting are indispen-
sable to a successful beginning. Here
we have three projects, either of which
would undoubtedly prove remuncra-
tive when set in motion and all OF
which have been satisfactorily discuss
ed, but neither of the three have passed
beyond the stage of free discussion.
We wonder when We shall be able to
hand the printer an item announcing
that work has commenced on either
of the enterprises, mentioned above.

Federal Public Building.

Gen. King introduced a bill in the
House, on the 2ist, providing for the
erection of a public building in Mon
roe. This, we presume, is done in
view of the probable sitting of the U.
S. courts at this place and for the pur-
pose of providing suitable quarters for
its officers and for the post-of1ice. The
bill will hardly become law this
session, owing to the crowded condi-
ton of the calendars of both houses,
but will, it is likely be passed at the
next session, as it certainly should,
since the brick courthouse of the parish
was destroyed during the war by the
unwarrantab1e acts of the Federal
troops under Commodore Foster. The
destruction was wholly unjustifiable,
as the building was in no way used for
army purposes, but only for the civil
courts and their officials. We believe
that. Gen. King has been furnished
with ample testimony of eyewitness
to the facts and that his efforts will
not prove unavailing. Suitable ground
can be had at reasonable figures, even
in the heart of the city, upon which to
erect the proposed building, and am
pie building material, except building
stone, can be found in abundance in
aud around the city.

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSION.

Meeting of the Council Committee-Plans
of the Railway Company as Explained by
Supt. Walsh.
The council committee on streets had a
meeting yesterday afternoon, at which Aid.
Dowlan and Smith were present, and City
Attorney Murray, City Engineer Sewall and
Messrs. John A. Stees and Walsh, superin
tendent of the city railway, were in attend
ance.
The first matter taken up for consdera-
ton was Aid. Dowlan's resolution for the
extention of the street railway from Seventh
street up Broadway to Mississippi street to
Acker street, and thence along CORTLAND
street.
Supt. Walsh was heard upon the matter.
He opposed the resolution and desired that
it be not recommended favorably to the
council, for the reason that his
company had already made arrange
ments for Just such or similar
extension of the line. The exact route con-
ten plated was as follows:
Down Fourth street to Sibley, up Sibley
street to Eighth, along Eighth street to
Cooper, northward along Cooper street to
Tenth, eastward along Tenth street to
Broadway, along Broadway to Mississippi
street, and up the last named street to the
machine shops of the st. Paul and Manitoba
railroad company; returning the route would
be along Broadway to Pearl, along Pearl
street to Jackson, and down Jackson street
to the main line on Seventh street.
Mr.. Walsh stated that the iron and other
material for the projected route had been
contracted for, and that work would be COM
menced Just as soon as the ground permitted,
and the work would be pushed forward to
an early completion.
In connection with this business, Mr..
Walsh explained that SO soon as the new
route was finished the transfer of passengers
at Wabashaw and Fourth street would be
obviated. 1t was his intention to put on
more cars and run the cars throug b from the
Fort street and st. Anthony Hill termini to
the Mississippi and Lafayette avenue termi-
nus alternately.
In view of this explanation, and from the
fact that there wasn't full attendance of
the committee, the matter was postponed
for further consideration.
Next in order Mr.. John A. Stees' pc tition
to number the streets according to 1.-THE
Philadelphia plan," was taken up. Mr..
Stees explained the mode or system of num-
bering, but City Engineer Sewell interposed
many objections ard in a measure believed
the plan impracticable, owing to the irregu-
larity of our streets.

Chase for n Lamp.

Washington street in the vicinity of the
Metropolitan hotel was the scene of an ex-
citing chase night before last, and the resi-
dents on that thoroughfare were first arous.
ed by the hurried clatter of footsteps, follow
ed by the rattle of carriage wheels broken at
intervals by the shrill voice of an apparently
exasperated female. The attention of q
GLOBE reporter was attracted, and without
being observed he took in the proceedings,
which proved as good as a circus Upon
reaching the corner of Fourth street the car
rage stopped in obedience to the trumpet
like voice of the female passenger, who on
her exit was recognized as Long Kate, the
keeper of the Hill street bagnio.
(Which way did they go % enquired the
voice, which by this time had acquired the
force and inpetuos1ty of an incipient tor
nado, in response to which the hackman
pointed to the forms of retreating figures in
the vicinity of Judd's livery stable. The
mountainous mass of organic matter started
at painting gate after the fugitives, and the
chase commenced in dead earnest Long
Kate was slowly gaining on the bloods, when
the. senerity of the ''stilly" night was sud-
denly broken by heavy thud on the side
walk followed by the shatter of glass. The
speed of the fugitives increased, and turning
tho corner they passed from view, while the
irate female uttered the most awful impreca-
tons as she drew up over the remnants of
what had been a costly and beautiful lamp.
By subsequent inquiry it was ascertained that
party of "fy'' young men visited the
bagnio about midnight and to get even with
the house carried away valuable lamp, on
hearing which Long Kate gave pursuit, with
the result as stated.
