The n. |. e Northern Jumps
the +. & A. Tracts on JEFF
fersOn Street

Some time ago it was announced
while the issues Of a suit were
pending IN the Supreme Court,
that the two rOads-the Southern
Pacific and the FriscO-wOuld
most probably come to an amlcable
agreement in the matter of th'
crossings, which were demanded
by the Frisco lines, resulting in
the abandonment OF the pending
suit. Monday the Supreme Court
decided the question of the jurs
dictiOn of the District Court for
this parish, taken to the higher
court on exceptions raised by the
Southern Pacific. This decision is
published in another column.
1t is understood that the S p
proposed to allow the Frisco to
use It's double tracks through
Washington street. for considera-
tiOns, rather than have its
tracks cut across by the crossing
road. The Frisco was called upon
to make certain concessions IN fa
vOr of the Southern Pacific. The
work Oh Madison street was stop
ped and it looked probable that
the Frisco would not use that
street.
Had the preliminary proposals
been crystalized into an agree
mcnt, 1t would have been in the
line of possibilities for New lbe
ria to have had a Union Depot for
all the lines entering this place.
But the unexpected happened, so
far as the Southern Pacific is con
cerned.
On Wednesday afternoon the
Frisco directed the labOrs OF a con-
siderable gang on Madison street,
just below Jefferson street. Cross
ties were quickly put in place and
a few rails were snaked across the
F. & A. road and spiked into po-
sition on the newly laid ties.
That afternoon at 2::3O al
temporary crossing was put in by
the Frisco, jumping over the rails
of the +. 4 A. track aud cOnsld.
erable quantity of materials was
taken over on the temporary
CT ossing. That night, between
eleven o'clock and midnight loco
motive, pushing humber Of cars
loaded with rails and other build
ing materials, came down upon
NJ MadisOn street and vet the cars on
the newly placed rails south Of
Jefferson street. The locomotive
went back to the Frisco yards and
The temporary bridging works,
over the +. & A. track, was
promptly taken away.
Thursday morning Madison
street was alive with railroad
Cross ties we're swung
into place, resting in mud and wa
Tor, and the new 8O-lb rails were
spun out as by magic and spiked
into place. The weather being
peculiarly favorable, the men
worked with q vim and every hour
great progress. BY noon
he rails had reached Center
street. BY night they were near
the lower limits of the city.
This act of the Frisco seems to
argue conclnsiveIy that this oom
Dany was not disposed to accept

Pacific, and that the former road
