in this city. The object being to form 4
continuous all-rail route from New Orleans
to San Antonio, and the West via the
Central. For two or three months the COM
panies have been quietly but industriously
at work endeavoring to procure right of
way through the city. The matter was
placed in the hands of Mr.. f. Everett,
who, with his usual zeal and energy,
worked up the business, and has prevailed
upon certain property owners to dispose
of right of way through their premises.
The Central will take up its track from the
Raymond House, to some point between
East Avenue and the freight depot, and
will run new line to connect with the In
ternatiOnal on Cypress street. The road
will cross Waller creek on Cedar street,
thence curying around. will run diagonal

and commodious union depot, in which
the telegraph, business and ticket offices
of both companies will be established.
By this route, the distance from New Or
leans to San Antonio is only about thirty
five miles greater than via the Sunset
Line, and the connection has been made
in this city to permit freights and passen-
gers for the West, to go through without
the delay and discomfort of transfer. It
will be of great benefit to the city in many
ways, and the tide of travel be turned and
hundreds OF pleasure and health seekers
destined for the West, that now give us
the go-by, will stop offand pay thecapital
a visit, The connection will also greatly
benefit our business men. We under
stand work will be commenced immedi-
ately, and the connection made and depot
erected at as early day as possible.

That Fine Set of Furniture.

We notice that Messrs. VIM. Cas-
we'll & Co. have found sale for that
extraordinarily fine set of furniture
which was recently completed by
them, being the design Of Mr.. T. r.
Price, of the firm. Reference was
made to it in our columns. Col. J. W.
Lillard, of the firm of Ault & Lillard,
was the purchaser, and it will serve as
fitting adornment to his elegant
Fifth avenue residence.
1t is indeed a magnificent set, the
finest thing ever gotten up in this
place, perhaps, and would do credit to
any eastern manufacturer. 1t Is a
source of encouragement to these en-
terprising gentlemen to find such
ready sale for something that is really
first class, and will stimulate them in
getting up other designs of similar
character.

Louise POmerOy.

There was still another revelation TO
our theatre goers last night. One
would naturally have supposed that
after seeing Louise Pomeroy three
times, In three widely different plays
all would have been seen; but here 10
where the mistake would have been
made. Her versatility is amazing,
and, moreover, each phase seems bet
ter than the preceding. Last night
as Lady Macbeth she did some
of the finest acting ever seen
10 the city. Under her talented
representation, the character, wicked
a. it is, almost won the admiration OF
tbs audience. Certainly one was called
upon to wonder at her daring in deeds
of wickedness, although at the same
time he would be shuddering at the
act she instigated and assisted in. She
was called before the curtain several
times and greeted with most rspturous
applause.
Mr.. Leak, as Macbeth, certainly
kept untarnished the laurels he has
won since he appeared here.
The exceedingly difficult role of
the diabolicsl and yet remorseful
Scot was portrayed by him in pow>
erful manner, and that intensity, which
is his greatest charm, was given wide
scope for manifestation of itself.
This afternoon the company will
give matinee, at which the "Adir-
ondacks" will be put on, and tonight,
positively their last appear
ance, a drsmitization of the inn
mortal Dickens immortal "Oliver
Twist with Miss Pomeroy as Nancy
Sykes" and Mr.. Leake as "Bill
Sykes" This has never been given in
Knoxville, and we feel assured that
the admirers Of the great Englishman
will turn out In force to see what has
so often delighted them in their read
ing, Prices have been reduced. For
particulars see advertisement.
