Dan Rce-the same old Dan who wa:
the subject of considerable interest here a
few years ago-is still on the 60. The
other day at Chattanooga, Tenn, he went
on a bowling tearing drunk, sames he used
to do here, and broke his engagement to
lecture on Temperance before the Young
Mems Christian Association there. But if
any one were to gently rebuke Dan for this
he would probably admit that he was booty
but would plead as an excuse that he need
ed little fresh experience.
Yesterday was the first big day in

The B. & o. Red Book for the Demo.
cratic National Convention is out, and
capital compendium Of political information
it ia. About everything one can seek for
in becoming thoroughly posted as regards
the presidential past is embraced within
the sixty odd pages, while in point of
Typography the little book is a gem of
clean, clear-cut work. The Red Books have
become indispensable in campaigns, and in
their different forms and editions are the
most popular political text books of the
day. No charge is made for them by the
B. & O., and the only requisite is the in
closing of two-cent stamp to c. K Lord,
Bal timore, with the application for a copy.

About ten days ago the committee
having the st. Louis & Cairo Railroad EN-
broglio in charge met at the Office of Col.
Taylor, for the purpose Of holding con-
ference with Capt. Williams who had been
authorized to make proposition to the
city for the company. The proposition
was that the city dissolve the injunction
against the company and permit the com.
pany to run its track into the city on its
right of-way inside the New Levee, in con.
sideration of $1,000 cash, to be paid by
the company to the city. The committee
refused to accept this proposition and, in
turn, submitted the following: that the in
junction be dissolved and the company per-
mitted to run its track along its right lof |
way and over Washington Avenue above
Cross Street, but, leaving its right of way
before reaching New Levee Street, run
along the outside of said street and strike
old Mississippi Levee at its junction
with New Levee Street. The company was
left at liberty to agree with Col. Taylor
upon any route between New Levee Street
and the river bank just so it remained out
side of New Levee Street. This PROPOSE.
ton was submitted by Capt Williams to
Col. Hamilton, and he has given the Capt.
positive assurance that it is accerted by
the company. 1t will be submitted to the
Council by the committee at its next regu-
lar meeting, and that body will also very
probably ratity the action of the commit
tee. Thus very vexing question is at last
about to be permanently settled, much to
the relief of this community and all con-
