in contemplation to ultimately build mar
row gauge road from st. Louis or Cairo to
New York, and thus have a continuous
narrow-gauge line from the latter place to
the city Of Mexico A syndicate has been
formed in New York to carry out this giant
project, aud sufficient money to complete
the road, it Is said, has already been raised
The line between CAIRO and Texarkana will
be finished in the course OF year, as the
work Of construction will be pushed from
both ends.n
Yesterday morning Mr.. John Sproat
had occasion to send one of his men for an
empty barrel, of which he has a number
under the sidewalk at the corner Of Twelfth
street and Ohio Levee. While handling
one Of the barrels the man dis
covered IN it dead mulatto infant, not
more than eight or ten hours old, which was
wrapped in an old coffee bag. The coroner
was notified and selected Jury
consisting of Messrs. Walsh, Schuttcr
McMannus, Holly, Nowotney and Quinly,
who Immediately went to work to unravel
the mystery, but up to the present writing
have met with little success. The corpse
has been removed to the court
house where the jury will
again meet this afternoon, and any persons
in the possession of information that may
lead to the discovery of the guilty party
or parties are requested to be present.
Day before yesterday, while the rutiian
"Rcd Dillon was being lead through the
Jail gate he made very light of his fate,
saying that twenty days in Jail was
nothing; the time would soon pass, and he
would be tree man again" lie takes it
quite philosophcally, and why should he
not. Men like him, would enjoy life any
where and under any circumstances, If
honesty and virtue is not required of them.
| His pals, however, have held q consulton
and have decided to "raise' the amount of
the fine j. c. one hundred dollars and pur-
chase his release from JAIL How they will
90 about the business Of raising the
money, is question that, under the cir
cumstances, will admit Of but one answer,
to-wit steal il. They are not men who
would stoop to honest labor to earn their
own food and raiment much less would they
toll honorably to help another, even though
he be one Of themselves They are
gang Of desperadoes- unscrupnlously
determined hungry for spoil and about as
near totally depraycd as human beings are
capable Of becoming. If they raise" the
money to release their leader, It will be
by the use Of skeleton keys 'jlmmies,"
augurs, clubs, iron knuckles and possibly
knives, and we will hear of series Of bold
burglaries, and now and then OF man
whose PROSTATE form was found at some
dark street corner with blood.coyercd
head and rilled pockets. This will be the
work" of the men who would pay Red
DiIlon's fine.
