The filling Of Fourth street at the in
tcrscction Of Jefferson, preparatory to
laying the brick paving and the rails for
the electrical railway, was stopped yes
terlay. The Terminal Railway Com
pany, which agreed to do the grading
on Fourth, Clay, Fayette and Washing
ton streets, for the privilege OF crossing
Fourth street, notified Mr.. G. G. Coeh-
ran, who has been doing the grading
and filling, that it would not pay for the
grading on either side OF the regular
streets or where it was the place OF the
city to do this. Mr.. Cochran, not car
ing to take any chances, stopped the
work yesterday, and will present his
bill to tho railroad company and the
city, the latter having agreed to pay him
ten cents per cubic yard for the filling.
This vii! leave South Fourth street in a
bad shape. The fill has not been COM
pIcted by 1,00Oto 1000 cubic yards, and

wise the laying of the electrical railway.
This may be a serious drawback to the
electrical railway. The track has been
laid in other parts of the city. About
10000 Of the 100000 fire brick needed
for the balance OF the paving have
already arrived and are on the ground.
Mr.. Cochran has countermanded the
order for more until the matter is set
