STREET RAILWAY IMPRovEMESTs.-R. S.
Carey & Sons have given the city rail-
way track a complete and thorough over
hauling in fact, have put it in better order
than it has been for years. In few days
they propose to lay double track on Tenth
street to 0, and thence to Twentieth street.
The reason for making their line double
track from the depot to Twentieth and o
streets is 50 as to be able to accommodate the
large travel that they will be called upon to
handle when the new Pavilion will be opened
at the coming State Fair. The effort on the
part of the management to furnish neat and
comfortable vehicles and to run the same, so
as to accommodate the largest number, is
appreciated by the travelling public.
HIS IDEA OF AMERICAN JUsTCE.-A pro-
minent member of one of Che contending
Chinese factions in this city went to an

Now 1 likee TO fix up this thing. think l

pleme Court decide that both US fellows take
fifty men and go and fight it out" Z" But
the Supreme Court would never do that"
said his friend. "Wsll, then, 'spose we take
twenty men," said he, with an earnestness
that carried conviction of his good faith in
the matter.
