A phenomenon known TO scientists
as parhelia, aud to commoners as sun
dogs, was, visible at Louisville and
Cincinnati yesterday morning. 1t is
only in extreme cold weather when
the skies are clear that the spectacle
occurs, and is seldom seen south Of
the 10th parallel Tho SUI rises In
these rare instances With a h-,, Iiant.

reported frozen in the vicinity Of
Jacksonville. This mornings tele-

snap is unusually severe south as well
as north.
The air was perfectly calm hOre last

it to be growing warmer, but they we're

THE srArIosHoUsE.
Improvements and Probability
OfHaVing y New Building-

A new stationhouse for the city is
being largely discussed. For a good
many years the city prisoners have
been confined in the old rOOkery No.
81 Adams street, and compelled TO
sleep in large open cells, pleasant in
summer, but cold enough to freeze the
marrow in ones bones, such weather as
this.
The building was formerly used as a
slave market and very little alteration
has been made in it since. 1t stands
back from the office about sixty feet,
and is utterly devoid of any Of the
modern cOntriyances now in use in all
prisons in other cities for supplying
heat and water.
During this last Geld spell few ar
rests have been made By the police, on
account of DR., Porter's orders to lock
no ono up for light misdemeanors,
but to take them home. A good citi-
zen becoming unwaryand getting drunk
may be for the first time in his life, is
locked up in tho cold prison, and
awaking in the morning, finds hi
body nearly frozen. His teeth
chatter when he is brought VI
for trial. aud going home he take
his bed with a cold, from which h,
never receivers. A night in the sta
tionhouse has been his death. 1t i
asserted on good authority that Their
are several known instances of thi
kind. Aroused by this state of fact
the city government ordered an in
spection of the building by the cit
t engineer yesterday, with ayicw Of sup
plying it with heat, but the result Off
S is about what might have been ez
y pected, or, in other words, it cant b
i done. The only remedy is to strike
match to the building, and lot
r strong west wind blow the ashes ava!
A new prison is a necessity goo
fire proof building, with all the moo
ern appurtenancts. This project wi
not be carried out this season, howe,
er, as the Taxing District is yet in i
swaddling clothes, and its 6nanc,
ie will not admit of it. The city ca.
Is penter was ordered to build a numb,
of close double hunks in each Gel

The Padueah RAILWAY.


A lengthy report was made yester-
day at a meeting Of the cotton e1-
change regarding the incomplete rail
way projected from here to Paducah,
the unfinished gap of fifty five miles
between COvingtOn and Trimble being
the bugbcar that is worrying citizens
along the route and merchants here.
The report as made by Mr.. Minor
Meriwether, excoriates tie railway
and its management, and this excoria
ton meets the approval of those who
think that leniency has already
been shown to a greater degree
than the railroad managers de-
serve. Many favor action to. compel
a forfeiture Of the roads charter, and
dislayor further legislation to grant
tbs company more time. 1T would be
better to restore the road to it's orig
inal stockholders, and take it from
men who arc using its franchises TO gil
the pockets Of a few" Judge 4. w.
Brown said in his remarks after the
report was read, and many agree with
him. The chairman Of the committee
says that under the laws forfeiture
Of the charter could probably not be
forced before 1889, and the committee
felt like delaying action for a few
months to see what the company in
tended doing. If the present company
act ia good faith, all will be we'll. If
the road is incomplete by next Deem
Der, proceedings to force a forfeiture
could begin.
The road from here to Paducah is
lGG miles in length. From Paducah
to Trimble, III miles, it is in opera
ton, also from Memphis to Coyington,
q miles. The unfinished gap Is 81
miles, and il is estimated that $780,
600 will be necessary to build and
equip the unfinished portion. Shelby
county subscribed S3OO,OO0 to the
enterprise, issuing bonds therefor
dated March lst, 1862 Upton county
issued $780, 900 to the road and Lsu.
derdale $4,000. OF the Shelby
