A pile-driver was at work Yesterday
saving off the piles driven near the bank
at the incline where the Charles Merriam
will land the cars of the Kansas City and
Memphis railroad. The cradle, or floating
track is nearly finished and will be placed
in position in few DAYS. The trestle from
the bank TO the piles is nearly completed,
and needs only few stringers and the
rails.
AS an offset to a claim Of four dollars
and half, forwhich Mrs. Malsi sued
Henry Brown yesterday, the latter claimed
that she was due him that amount for
addressing a letter to Germany. Brown
said it was very complicated direction,
but Justice Fleming couldn't be convinced
that it was worth so much money, and
gave judgment against him for the full
amount.

L. Riegel, who resides at 58I JEFF
! ferson street, states that next door to him
is a house of ill-fame OF the lowest order,
| the inmates of which were arrested some
six weeks ago for having their premises
! in an unsanitary state, their condition
! being well-known to the police and sani-
tary officers. The inmates disturb the
neighborhood by their orgies, lasting till
y o'clock, and sometimes o'clock in the
morning, which keeps the neighbors from
sleeping There is very disagreeable
stencil around the premises, especially
early in the morning and at night. The
inmates are estreet-walkers, and of the low
est description. Mr.. Riegel, whose en-
trance is almost the same as that next
door, has frequently had men come to his
house when his children neglected to close
the stair door, and has sometimes been
obliged to use force to induce them to go
away. He enters plea for abatement.
"A new sleeping-car of an entirely new
design, arrived at the Louisville and Nash
vile depot yesterday, being one of six of
the same kind recently built by the Pull
man Company for especial use on that road
between this point and Louisville. They
are what is known as twelve-section car
with smoking-room attached, sixty-five feet
in length over all. 1t is an improvement
on the dining car, having sideboard from
which may be obtained lunches of every
variety. On the outside is fixed an ample
refrigerator for the preservation OF meats,
fruits, milk, butter; and in all its details is
not only the perfection OF comfortable ac-
commodation for travellers, but is gem of
beauty in construction and finish. Another
one of the same class will arrive to-day,
and one other each day until the entire six
will be brought into service. Capt. X. b.
Mosher has charge of the car above de-
scribed, which we neglected to mention is
named the ''Moscogee.",
