II. Hay mfd Assistant Evcrly have been taking comparative observations at the preseut signal office in the custom house and at the prolmblo future office in the City National Bank building, in order to find out how and where to display tho instruments at the latter place when the time for removal comes.

So far the tests have not proven quite as satisfactory as they ought to have dune. All but about six thousand dollars of the money realized by the city from the sale of Railroad street lots has been used in the improvement of said street, as was originally ordered by the council. One half of this six thousand dollars has been transfered to another fund which was running Short, so that three thousand dollars still There is some prospect, however, that this Bix thousand dollars will again be mado full and that the whole will be used in filling Railroad street up to a level with the cross streets at the points where it connects with them. A number of responsible citizens, who have ample means and who proverbially succeed in all their undertakings, contem plate the establishment of several lines of Herdics in tho city. One line on each avenue, for intsance.

A hcrdic, as, perhaps, everyone knows, is a large coach of peculiar and comfortable construction, which runs easy and rides easy, requires no tracks and can therefore run to any part of the city without tracks. These coaches are being profitably used in a number of largo citica and compete successfully with the street railways.

Three attempts were made to fire the steamer Ariadne on her down trip and while she was between this city and Union-town Monday. Fireballs composed of cot ton and oil were lighted, one at the stem, one at the bow and anothor amidships. They wcTe discovered and tho blszu put out before any damage was aone. Several par ties were suspected but the attempt has not yet been reliably fixed on anyone- The boat is now lying here awaiting her turn to go on the ways for repairs. There were many different rumors afloat regarding the attempt to burn her.

One is that it was tho work of parties who held a grudge against tho line to which sho belongs because they were defeated in a suit for 000 against the line, brought in Louisville some time ago, the aforesaid suit resulting from a collision in which a boat belonging to the parties was sunk and lost. Another is that it was the work of a man recently discharged from tho boat Which, if eith cr, of these stories are true, we cannot say. jPaducah Enterprise. Ladies it you want perfect fitting, elegant and durable common sense shoes, go to Ilaythorn's nnd get them. In tho Shan nessy examination Tuesday, unlike the Hays examination, all tho wit nesses present for the prosecution were examined, and it appears that their testimony was not as favorable to tho people as tho enemies of tho defendant might have Those enemies believe that, if tho prosecuting attorney found that tho testimony of his own witnesses would go against him, ho should have dono as was done in (ho nays case, withhold the testi mony.

In other words tney believe that the prosecuting attorney should do all within Ids power to convict a defendant, even to the extent of withholding truthful testi-money. They seem to forget that a police cmirt should be a court of justice, (which in many cases it is not), and that in order that a man may receive justice? it is ncc- essray that all the truth should bo known to the court. The primary object of the prosecuting attorney, or any other attorneys, should not be to convict or to butjto have justice done; and, therefore, either wonldjie doing- wrong if he withheld Important truthful testimony, simply because it would injure his side of the case." That this oftou Bone to be deplored. -Thn attention of Mayor Thistle wood and Marshal Myers was yesterday called tft the fact thut thn track of the street railroad, where it turns tho corner, on Twenty-Eighth street is raised considerably abovo the level of tho street, that is, one sido of tho track is so raised, in order to prevent the cars from jumping tho track every time they turn tho corner. Their attention was also called to the fact that the company was in thn act of having Fourth street similarly obstructed for tho same.

reason. The officers gave tho matter their attention, notified the proper representatives of the company that they were violating tho ordinance, and received assurances from them that the ordinances would bo complied with and the track lowered to iis lawful level. A heavy iron rail, firmly placed along the inner side of the outer rail, as far as it turns around a corner, will, as tho managers of the street railway probably know, prevent the cars from jumping the track as wcN as raising one rail would, and would not bo a violation of the ordinances. A couplo of young fellows have been in the city for some time, endeavoring to obtain the permission of Marshal Myers and the mayor to ruu what the young men call a baseball game, which consists of throwing a ball at a number of rag babies, set up on a horizontal bar against a large canvass. The man who strikes a baby with a ball and knocks it down, is entitled to a cigar, or another throw.

The marshal very properly looks upon this as a game of chance, which comes under the head of games forbidden by the ordinances. He reasons, ith the best of logic, that if a man may throw a ball for a cigar he may throw dice or rings for a dollar bill, therefore, he says, the game is gambling. This is but one of a large number of contrivances with which persons have come to tii marshal of lute, desiring to be permitted to run it during the days that the circuses will exhibit here; but the marshal has uniformly refused bis permission and given the proprietors to understand that they would be prosecuted if they attempted to exhibit their contrivances. Gambling in this city has considerably abated with- ja.jUje;te,PieW months, owiug to vigorous action-oju the part of the officers, aud it is tuAfftJtNCrnot wise to permit strangers to couieliWe and arouse again the mania for that disgraceful ami ruinous art. Old John Robinson's great show, with its big herd of Giraffes, the only Polar Bear, herd of Elephants, Giaut Ox and many other wonders, will bo in Cairo, the 26th, and "don't you forget it." This is the biggest of all big shows and the last that will be hero this season.

Monday night, about seven o'clock, when the steamer FannieTatum landed at Metropolis on her down trip to take aboard a large lot of plow handles, a row occurred between the secsnd mate of the steamer and one of the musters, during which the former received an ugly gash in tho lower right Bide of the abdomen and the latter was shot dead. The crew had gone ashore load the handles, and it Beems that the dead negro gave the mato occasion to re buke him and order him to be more active, which the negro roughly resented and which induced him to call for his time. iVngerod at this, tho mate moved towards him with his hand upon his hip, saying, "I'll give you your time, you." The negro received his knife, inflicting the wound aforesaid, when the second mate drew his pistol and shot him dead. This occurred on shore. The second mate was placed under arrest and, with the blood runuing freely from his fearful wound, was marched off to jail, where ho now is awaiting his preliminary examination.

An inquest was held over the body of the negro immediately after. Nearly the entire crew quit the boat and another had to bo employed, together with a new Becond mate, which caused tho boat to be delayed until midnight of Tuesday. If you want first-class boarding call at Charles Sehoenmeyer's, corner of Poplar, Tenth nnd Washington avenue, Gcrmania House Restaurant. Several very contradictory accounts of the tragedy at Metropolis are out, which is duo to thft fact that the officers on the s'eamer Fannie Tatum, whoso hands were engaged in the fracas, refused to suy anything about it. The account published in another column is given upon the authority of a passenger on tho Tatum who, though not an eye witness to tho affair, arrived upon tho scene after tho negro had been shot, and saw tho dead man.

Ho gathered his information from tho negroes standing around who had been eye witnesses to the whole bloody enactment. But Captain Taylor, of the steamer Gus Fowler says, that from what ho could learn from pcoplo at Metropolis, appears that a deck hand on the Tatum was shirking his duty, that tho second mate went aft and brought him out, that another negro interfered and "shot off his mouth" in tho deck hand's bo-half, that the second mate and this negro then came to blows, during which tho form-cr was severely cut in tho abdomen, and that thereupon tho watchman, who was a relative of tho second mate, drew his ro-volvor and shot tho negro dead. Whether this or the story published elsewhere is truo is not positively kuown hut that the affair involved some of tho officers of the boat is evidontfrom tho silonco maintained by, them, also from the fact that tho boat had ISHOES ISHOES ISHOES GREAT BARGAINS!

Elegant, durable ami perfect in fit, West Brother's fine shoes at Ilaythorn's. A letter from Mr. Travers I) miel to Mayor, N. B. Thistlewood, dated atClarks-ville, Tennessee, October 15th, states that the writer has made arrangements in New York City to receive the money for building the Cairo water works, but he still insists upon the extension of the time to February 15th, next year, for, he says, ho can not obtain pipe before January.

Ho also says that lie does not consider the franchises granted him by the city as a good investment; yet he desires to fill the contract "as best he can." Tho report of the council committee- to which Mr. Daniel's petition was referred, which was published in yesterday's BirM.KTiN, meets fairly the objection to tho time of commencement, which Mr. Daniel interposes, when it says that "a very large amount of work must bo done before the said contractor can have any use for either water pipe or stand pipe. Tho excava tions aud laying of the foundations, crib, must certainly take up almost the extension asked for." Mr. Daniel's bint that ho does "not consider the franchises a good investment," is very untimely, nnd should have been given during his consultations with the committee which framed tho contract, to every provision of which bo consented before it was adopted by tho committee.

The objection formerly mado by him, that tho ground would not furnish a sufficiently ilrui foundation for a stand pipe two hundred feet high, he lias himself admitted to have been not well taken; so that the only points of difference between him and tho council are The speed of tho piston of tho pump, tho size of tho water pipes and the extension of time. As the latter objection is entirely unjustifiable, only two remain that are of any real weight. These two "objections, if met by tne council as Mr. Daniel desires they shall bo, would enable him to save thousands of dollars by supplying a smaller, less powerful pumping apparatus and laying smaller water pipes, and therefore Mr. Daniel's demands in this respect are unreasonable.

It is truo, ho assorts that 'neither would affect tho efficacy of service: but for this wo have only his word, of course, still seoms to bo contradicted by tho results which, It appears to a reasonable mind, must follow tho changes suggested by him.
