Now Orleans to whom they have hereto
fore reported, and who are hereby con

The Fourth Of July arrangement com
mitee has had some very important work
done ON the st. Mays park track. About
twenty five teams have been at work for
nearly week, filling up the low places OF
the park and putting 1t in better condition
than it has ever been before. The work
done in this way will be permanent and
will be an improvement IN which the city

provement and as such It would seem that
portion OF the cost thereof should be borne
by the corporation. The cost OF the lm-
provement will far exceed the expectation
of the arrangement committee and Will cut
big hole into the celebration fund. The
boys think that the city council should help
them bear the burden of this unexpected
expense and they certainly have some reason
to do so. II is true the work was not done
under the direction Of the street committee
as all such public Improvements must be
done, but an examination OF the work by |
the committee would suffice The matter |
will probably be brought before the coun
Gil at its next regular meeting.

st. Louis railroad company case The ma
ture of the proceedings is merely an at
tempt on the part of the railroad company
to have the decision of the court, granting
a perpetual injunction against the railroad

case to which il was not party, In other
words, the ST. Louis Il Cairo company,
when it purchased" the property OF the
Cairo q ST. Louis company, acquired all
he privileges, rights and franchises belong |
ne to said company and It's property, but
vas not liable to any OF the conditions,
restrictions and obligations, under which
such property was granted to, and operated
by, the old company. There is something
very contradictory IN the claims and actions
If the company. II claims that the present
company il not bound by the injunction
granted against the old company, yet, cW-

From the accounts OF the killing Of
Mr.. J +, Gardner at Belmont, Mo-, some
days ago, published in the press, some er-
roneous Impressions have gone abroad
which are not only inconsistent with the
general public opinion Of Mr.. Gardner but

a number of years the trusted agent
in the Counties of Ballard aud Hickman,
for Mr. IL A. Harmon of this city, was
known to be a gentleman of most peaccablc

Of honor 1t therefore created much sur

should have given Kilgore any just ground
for killing him, as the accounts aforesaid
seemed to imply. And the truth does not
bear out any such impression, Some weeks
before the killing OF Gardner, KIlgorc aud
one Green, Of Arlington, had a dispute
about letter. written by Kilgore, in
which rude reflections were made upon
Green's wife. Green assaulted kllgore, but
