The Illinois Central will transfer traini
from the Kentucky shore at Wickliffs in
stead Of East Cairo after this. The apron
from the East Cairo incline was taken tc
Wicklihs yesterday.
No train was sent out yesterday on the
Texas and St. Louis railroad. Though the
water was not ever the track, it was nearly
to the top oft, and the road bed being soft'
ened, it was not considered safe to run.
| The street committee investigated the
little leak at Fourth street Monday and
discovered that it came, not through the
sewer, but through pipe that had former
ly served to supply water to steam pump
in operation there many years ago. The
leak was easily stopped. The sewers are
oil as tight as so many bottles.
The grand jury got we'll under way
yesterday with Mr.. N. Hundsacker as
foreman. Owing in a great measure to the
fact that States Attorney Leek had pre-
pared most Of the indictments in advance,
the jury has been enabled to dispose Of the
cases with dispatch, and it is thought that
it will finish Its work and adjourn this
evening.
The Mystic Krew will have circulated
to-day some neat general invitations to the
phantom dances. Those who may not re-
ceivs oae can consider themselves invited
all the same o. it would be an impossible
ty to not miss one in ten thousand or more
people. They will also have the tickets on
sale in few days and We hope they will
receive the encouragement that is their
due. 1t
Real Estate Agent Howley yesterday
sold ten lots to Mr.. Peter Caraher for 3d.
900. The lots are situated on the westerly
side OF Washington avenue, between Fifth
and Sixth streets. 1t is good property and
brought good price. The movement in
real estate here has been brisk for some
weeks with no sign Of check by high water.
Better evidence of confidence in the security
of the place cannot be asked for.

ing favorably and all indications, wind
weather and water permitting, point to an
enjoyable time. The Krew have thorough
confidence in the stability of our levees,
and their ability to stand any pressure
brought against them, hence they have not
faltered in their arrangements for the Mardi
Gras festivities and propose to carry out
their original intention to the letter. 1t
Tho little gust of wind yesterday sf-
ternoon, says Sergeant Ray, blew at the
rate Of sixty miles per hour. It blew for
but few minutes and it is probably due to
the warning given by the sergeant several
hours before hand that 80 little damage was
done in the city and harbor. As 1t WAS
only several signs were blown down in diff
ferent parts Of the city; and the yawl and
jack staff were torn from the steamer W. B.
Duncan lying at East Cairo. The yawl
fortunately fell onto the boats deck and
was not much damaged.

tween the avenues and the extention of .
