THE X0RT1I MISSOURI RAILROAD.
Chang of Gang-t,ntck Work-Other
Matter.
JVoni the Missouri Republican, August 12, 1807.
We learn that on Friday, the 2d of August, the
North Missouri Railroad Company began the
change of Us gauge from this city to Macon
City, the junction of Its road with the Hannibal
and 8t. Joseph Railroad, the distance being one
hundred and seventy miles. Ou Friday and
Saturday the gauge was changed from St.
Charles to Macon, a distance of one hundred
and fifty miles, and on Mfiuday of this week
the gauge was changed from St. Charles to 8t.
Louts, so that the runniDg of trains was resumed
on Tuesday, making only three days that trains
were suspended to efTect a change of gauge ior
one hundred and seventy miles of road.
This change of gauge gives the North Mis
souri road the tour feet eight and a half gauge
which is the same as that of the Hannibal and
St. Joseph road, tne Iowa and Minnesota roads,
the Union Pacific roads, and the same as uenrly
all roads east of us, and will enable the North
Missouri to carry both freights and passengers
to 8U Joseph, Atchison, and Leavenworth
Without change of cars, and to all points in
Iowa and Minnesota, and points reached by the
Union 1'acific roads when their corrections are
formed, and also East when the railroad bridge
at St. Louis is built.
We have heard it suggested that, in anticipa
tion of the bridge, the Cnicago, Alton and St.
Louis, the Terre Haute, Alton, and St. Louis,
eud other Eastern roads, together with the
jSorth Missouri road, are considering whether it
will not be advisable to make a similar improve
ment to that at 1st. Charles, near the North Mis
souri depot on this Bide ot the river, whereby
lretght ana passengers can be transferred, so
that passengers can take the cars on tbe St.
Louis side of the river and freights be loaded
from this side.
We learn that the total cost of the improve
ment for this purpose would not exceed nfty
thousand dollars. It is tho next best tbing to a
bridge, and would answer admiribly. It would
in the winter be subject to interruption when
ferry boats could not run in the ice It seems
to us that it would be a most desirable thing to
land and take passengers and freights from this
Bide of the river. It is a great delay and annoy
ance, it seems to us, to have to unload and ferry
in wagons freights from and to tit. Louis, from
the Illinois shore, and we know from our per
sonal experience that families and persons ar
riving and going East dread the omnibus ride
and crossing ot the river at St. Louis more than
the whole trip, and any improvement that will
overcome this will meet with lavor from the
travelling and business public.
We are glad to learn that track-laying Is pro
pressing towards Iowa, north of Macon, iij
the tirstof September it is expected that twelve
miles of road will be in operation north of
Macon, leaving only fltty-t wo miles more to com
plete to reach Iowa, upon which the grading is
about half done. It is intended to have the
North Missouri Road doue to Iowa as soon as
the St. Louis and Cedar Rapids or the Iowa
Central can meet it there, which it is thought
will not be later thau June ot next year.
Track-laying will commence on the West
Branch of the North Missouri Road by the first
of September, and will be completed to Bruns
wick some time in October, a distance ot forty
miles.
The branch extending from Centralla to Co
lumbia, in Boone county, a distance of twenty
two miles, will be completed about the first of
September. Six miles of the track is laid,
and tbe contractors are pushing the work
along.
By tho first of November, or before, the North
Missouri management expect to have some
seventy-five miles ot' new road to operate,
making a total length of road of two hundred
and lorty-four miles.
' It is believed that the completion of the road
to Brunswick will nearly double tne present
business ot the road, and that when a connec
tion can be formed with the Iowa roads that it
Will greatly change its financial condition.
In looking over the whole field of St. Louis
railway connections, the effects upon this city
and the effects npon the proposed connection of
the North Missouri Railroad on its own interests,
it seems to us that it is second in importance to
no road that connects wlih St. Louis, and that a
few years will show U to be a splendid paying
road. It will take a little time for this. It has
to complete its connections, and get business
flowing over it which will at once follow its
completion, when we predict that it will become
one of tbe most prosperous roaas in tne coun
try, it has our best wishes lor Its most abun
dant success.
AMUSEMENTS.
Walnut Street Theatre. This evening
Shakespeare's beautiful fairy spectacle, A Mid
summer Night's Dream, will be repeated. The
play passed, off smoothly last evening, and
cone of the great beauties of the piece were In
the slightest manner marred. The bouse was
uncomfortably full, being paoked with people
In every part. Every seat in the lower portion
of the bouse Is engaged regularly before the
curtain Is raised, and the audiences are quite
fashionable. There is no doubt that the
spectacle Is destined to have a long and very
successful run, and we have every reason to be
lieve that tbe management will recover a good
portion of the capital expended in the produc
tion of the piece In this country. Philadelphia
will pay her full share at least. We have re
ceived tbe following note from a gentleman of
respectability:
''FmiJiDici.THiA, August 15.
'To the Editor orTHE KvmiNoTKLKOHAPU Sir
Canuol the law which direct that managers or thea
tre muHt provide ieu for tlielr patrons be enforced
by the police? 1 beve Irled to get a view of the speo
tacle at tbe Walnut twice, and failed each time. The
ushers down stair would not let me pass Into the
orchestra' or 'orchestra oircle,' ana the 'dress cir
cle' I bod crowded no a to prevent me from seeing
but a very small portion of the stage, even by stand
ing on tip-toe. Amaus.
Our correspondent purchased an admission
ticket, which only calls for a seat If one be va
cant and not secured. Tbe manager, In this
case, does not contract to furnish a seat. lie
cannot provide persons with what he has not.
We think It would be well, however, for man
agers to set apart some portion of the lower cir
cles for those who purchase admission tickets
thereto, even at a loss of the extra money paid
In to secure seats, as a privilege of this kind
will always be appreciated by the masses.
A GiBii Attacked by a Raccoon. A few
days since a girl about ten years of age, named
crusen, residing in Urosbeckvule, IN. i ., while
out berrying, about ten miles from the city.
was attacked by a raccoon and pretty seriously
injured. The girl was engaged picking berries
Tinder a tree which the raccoon ascended.
While she was thus engaged the animal de
scended the tree and made an attack unon her.
Seizing her by the leg, and biting a large piece
of flesh from the limb. He would doubtless
have killed the girl but for the fact that her
screams attracted the attention of some women
T?ho accompanied her, one of whom seized a
Btlok, with which she succeeded In driving the
raocoon away, after striking it several blows.
Strange as it may appear, the raocoon followed
the girl about three miles, and then returned

rom ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITBM1 SEE INSIDE PAG MS,
A Scaffold Breaks Down, and Four Msn
Ark Is jukkd At Twenty-second and Hhlppun
streets a new church, called tho "ISeihany Mis
sion," is now in process of erection. Workmen
were yesterday morning engaged In putting on
the slate roof, when an accident happonctLby
Which four persons were more or less Injured.
A load of slate was being drawn up to tbe top
scsllold, by means of a rope passing over a
pulley and attached to a horse on the ground
below, when it struck against some of the tim
bers, and down came the whole affair. A large
quantity of slate was anon the scaffold at the
time of Hie accident, and this was throwu npon
a portion of the roof of the bnildlng, through
which it made Its way very unceremoniously,
hour persons were also on the scaffold, and
were precipitated to a lower one, but fortu
nately, although they fell several leet, no serious
injuries were sustained.
Alexander Wilson, aged nineteen years, and
re t (11 lib at Twenty-second and Market streets.
Buttered the most, being quite badly bruised
about the head, lie wus removed to the Penn
sylvania Hospital, but bis injuries are by no
means dimf rotis.
Hitmuel Johnson, another workman, was
Blluhtly hurt, but wus able to walk home.
John Kelly whs struck Just over the left tem
ple, and otherwise injured; and his son John,
aged eleven years only, was likewise cut about
the head.
The accident bnppened about 11 o'clock in the
morning. A few minutes before it occurred the
attention of tbe men upon tho scaffold was
called to the fact that It was already overloaded;
but one of the slaters, not heeding this warn
inn, It Is tald, loudly demanded that more of
the material should be holHted at once, whether
it was rcuily trimmed or not. The slaters, in
turn, assert that tbe scaffolding was too weak
for an ordinary load, and that the mishap whm
entirely owing to that defect. There is probably
a jtrsln of truth In both accouuls, and, allhoutti
nobody was killed, the affair unserves an in
vestigation by the proper authorities.
An Unplkasant Catastrophe. Shortly
after 10 o'clock last evening, one of our places
of amusementTiad closed its doors, and those
who had been delighted within were wending
their way homeward with that gloomy un
pleasantness which is ever the precursor of a
ruin-storm. Just as a party of young ladies,
with a few eallunt escorts, were nearlng the
corner of Eleventh and Market streets, they
were startled by a deafening roar of thunder,
followed by pelting drops, which came down in
quick succession. With that sudden exclama
tion of affright known so well to some of our
lady friends, they gathered up their skirts, and
dashed for the lirst abetter at band a canvas
awning. The rain beat down violently, and
tbe water congregated gradually in the centre
of the awning, forming it into a large funnel
right over the beads and bodies of our evening
party, who, unconscious of the impending
doom, were laughing and talking in a jocular
manner. With another crackling roar of the
empyrean artillery, the rain came down with
such an intensity tbat soon enlarged the
funnel to a capacious size, and, with a crack
of breaking shreds and resounding splash,
the gathered waters launched upou tliegiggling
party beneath. Wbal screams and cries of
"My bonnet, and Jockey, and cloak" were heard
mlDgling with the gruffer ebullitions ot satanic
origin, as the young gents surveyed their
dilapidated plugs, limp bosoms, flabby collars,
and saturated dress-coatst It is needless to say
tbat some of our friends as soon as a more
substantial shelter was found instituted a
wringing process, which lasted long into the
midnight hour. This over, carriages took the
deluged parlies to their respective homes.
The Puelikcs of Vice and Filth. Last
night Lieutenant Frank, Sergeant Murray, and
a squad of the Seventh District police, made a
descent upon a disorderly tenement house, fto.
a Bt. John's street. This shabby old structure,
which in former yeurs wascoDBlderedaspaelous
"dance bouse," presented a battered exterior,
with filth abundant on all sides. Without was
fiaradlse to the Babel within, since eight faml
les, with a superabundance of dirty, naif
clothed, squnlld-looklug children, resided there.
Internally the bouse was strictly virtuous of
cleanliness, as the black doors, unswept stairs,
dirty Hoot s, strongly to tbe vision, and yet more
strongly to the susceptible olfactories of tbe
observer, testified. Add to this deciJedly un
clean looking house a Jabbering of voices, tne
shouting commands of the old, and the squal
ling responses of the young, mingled with
curses a common language and you have
somewhat of an earthly pandemonium. To
this place of Ill-repute, and a habitat for many
vicious and disreputable people, the police pro
ceeded to try and effect, if need be, a forcible re
form. This was neoesBary, and fifteen inmates,
among which number were many young girls,
were arrested and sent to the lock-up. Alder
man Toland sent many of them for aj summer
sojourn in the prison wards.
Ekbvities. John O'Blaek and David Daily,
general sneak thieves, who purloin from entries,
door steps, and halls, were caught last night at
Fifth and Carpenter streets, and held by Alder
man Minn in tiuou nan. a mau aog, large
and ferocious, after creating great fear in the
neighborhood of Eighth and South streets, was
shot last nignt. a sngnt nre, oi wnicn no
alarm was given, was discovered on the roof of
a bouse located near ureen ana inira streets.
It was soon extinguished. Henry Frlssle, a
Gallic individual, was arrested while attempt
ing to tap a till at Fourth and Worth streets.
Alderman Aiinjt committed mm in aeiauit oi
$1000 bail. A little colored fellow, named
Btuart, came Into the station bouse this morn
ing, with a long faoe, saying "As he were lost
on a skool discursion, wnicn were moer fun
than staying home." Detective Keeder put the
little "wayward dlsourslonist" on the right
track. -A disorderly bouse, known as the
Sherman." near Sixth and Kaoe streets, was
broken up last night, and tbe proprietor and
wife arrested. Alderman Godbou committed a
young girl, an inmate, to the House of Refuge.
The Statb Camp of the Patriotic Order of
Junior Hons of America met at Schuylkill
Haven on the morning of Tuesday, 13th Inst.
After receiving the act ot incorporation of tbe
Legislature, it was opened by State President
L. Orr Alexander. The following officers were
elected for tbe ensuing year:

In tbe evening the Citizens' Band serenaded
the delegates. Addresses were delivered by J.
C. Becker, I). Orr Alexander. It. C. Eveland, and
U. 11. Hill, on the Order and its objects.
A Cool Way of stealing a man's horse waa
demonstrated last night. Four men, only
known bv their dusky forms moving through
tbe darkness, entered the yard of a German
carter named Curran, and, taking bis horse
from the stable, harnessed mm to inj wagon.
and were driving out of the gate, when Curran
opened the window, ana, peering out, saiu, i
tii,vA there goes mv horse and wagon."
whereat tbe whip cracked and tbe thieving
party drove off, and have not since been heard
from. It is sufficient to say tbat Mr. Curran
learned soon mat it was nis norse uu wugou
which bad been stolen.
DEPAUTrRE OF THE HoX. EbWIN M. St ANTON.
DnririB tbe latter part of yesterday afternoon
Hon. Edwin M. Stanlon.Jex-Socretary of Wur4
arrived in this city, stopping at tne continental.
Thia morning, at an early hour, he left for Bos
ton, from thence to join his family at the White
Mountains, uunug uib unumiujr ub waa vibilou
hv manv of our prominent citizens ana mem
bers of the Union League. Ills stay would have
hn nroloneed bad it not been for the un pro
pitious weather, as be intended to visit some of
our puimu luiuiuuuu".
A Testimonial. This morning an elegant
nanavaa nresented to Francis W. Headman
Esq Representative from Bucks county, by the
surviving soldiers of the War of 1812. Mr. Head
man was a member of tbe last session of the
Legislature, and exerted himself vigorously in
behalf of the Interests of these old patriots, who,
in turn, take this method of testllying their ap
preciation OI Dl servmca.
An TJnneiqhbobly affair. Mary Ultras
wmnheld by Alderman Slnex in $000 bail for
hRtlP a female "nabor" with a club, and, as
UM TJler alleges. Intending to kill ber. ;ihe
occurrence took plaoe at Eleventh and Catha
rine streets.
Ah Insensible Man, whose name is supposed
to be Gideon L. Webb was ploked up last night
by a Fifth District ollloer. lie is at the sUllon,
corner of Locust and Fifteenth streets. 1 U
friends and relative are requested to ctOl lyr,
UUn,
Thb Rain-storm. " We are having the
lion's share" Is a quaint saying, whlon has
more than ordinary import to the denizens of
this city. The fourteenth day of the predloted
delnge by old weather-wise individuals Is
upon us, and one would think, from the manner
in v.hlch the rain on me down this morning,
that the Hood-gates of heaven bad been opened
for a second time to bring destruction upon this
earth, contrary to the covenant made centuries
ago.
Of the full series of spasmotllo storms slnoe
the advent of August that which commenced
lost night and raged all this morning was the
heaviest. All tbe low places in the city were
made the reservoirs to be filled by the "almost
rlv is" which flowed down the streets. At the
intersection of Fifth street with the Oertnan
t own road the water congregated, overflowing
street and walks, and Insinuating Itself into the
cellars of the inhabitants, filling many, much
against the feelings of the owners thereof. On
Soutn street, from Eleventh to Thirteenth, the
water reached the platform of the cars during
the violent rain at 10 o'clock, and the people
were busily engaged during the pelting storm
in closing the cellar windows of their homes
with old clothes, rags, and dirt, which, being
totally unsubstantial, let the water In with the
rush of a csscade.
'ibe e)olvert now building at Nineteenth and
Walnut streets waa effectually closed by debris
of all kinds being washed into it.
We will undoubtedly soon learn of great
rinronge being done, as soon as the water from
the highlands around the city begins to pour
into the Delaware and Schuylkill.

The Rain Elsewhere Damage on tub Capb
May Road. The heavy rain bad its effect upon
tbe railroad In this section of the country. The
morning train on the Cape May Koad reported
that the water was damaging the track. Soon
alter a telegram received, elated that the rail
road bridge this side of Strasboro bad been
washed away, thereby putting a stop to the
progress of the trains. The damage is quite
heavy, and will require some time for its re
pair. Beyond Strasboro, no rain is reported
at having fallen.
Hearings at thb Central Station. Before
Alderman Beitler at 2 o'clock to-day, George

Court of Quarter Sessions Jndgo Brew
ster. Christ iau Kueuss, froseculluK Attorney.
Henry C Brown pleaded guilty to a charge of
assault and battery upon James I'ilRlntou. On
the 30 tli of July, Mr. I'llglntoa, connected witn
the Market Htrei t Kailway, sent to the depot for
drivers. Tbe defendantcanie to hlru.and when
lie was asked If lie had been scutdown to drive,
be accused Mr. Pllglnton of having reported
him to the President of the Company; Mr. I'll,
elnton denied It, aud tbe defendant then struck:
him. Fined t' and the oosts.
Jobn Malone was charged with the larceny of
a silver watch, valued at S60i The evidence was
tbat the defendant was oue of twenty or thirty
boarders at a house, and bsd been staying there
about four months. On the night of July 10,
after all the other boarders had goue to bed, tne
defendant was seen to go up stairs; no oue else
could have gone up without having been seeu;
imU about an hour after he had gone up a
boarder missed his watch. Tbe defendant re
mained in the house some ten days after this,
and the watch was not seen upon him. These
circumstances could only raise a slight suspi
cion of tbe defendant's guilt, and hence the
jury rendered a verdict of not guilty.
Patrick O'Meil was charged with the larceny
of a set of harness and an overcoat, together
valued at (150, belonging to William Dovel.
lie hired himself to Mr. Dovel on the 4th of
July, and a lew days afterwards went away.
The harness aud coat were missed at toat time.
Uewas arrested on a Baltimore packet, aud
acknowledged that he stole the harness. Ver
dict guilty.
William Glider pleaded guilty to a charge of
bigamy. Kva Uowder testified that she mar
ried the defendant January IS, 1860, under bis
representation ol being a single man; about
three weeks afterwardB she discovered that he
had a wile living, whose name was Mary
Thompson.
Bernard Gorman, Isndore QuVn, William
Land, and Daniel Dow ling were charged with
ust-auii and battery upon John R. Supleo, aud
with robbing the same. Mr. Huplee testified
tbat on last Sunday night, about U14 o'clock, as
he was walking In Merviue street, below Jeifer
son, some men came up behind nim, knookud
him down, and robbed him ot his waton, chain,
and pocket-book. He recognized (iulnn, Laue,
whom be said struck him, and Dowllng, but
not Uormun. He had seon tbe three former in
a tavern but a short time previous.
Policeman Mervlne testified tbat, from infor
mation received from Mr. Huplee, he arrested
Uorman in a brickyard at Tenth and Jefferson
streets, and found Mr. Buplee's watch chain
upon him; he asked where was the pawn ticket
for tbe watch, and he said be Ituew nothing
Kuuut n; lie wag iueu iwimou who was Witn Ulm,
and he replied that when he went out with
friends he would "stand by them." After
wards be took the officer into tbe brickyard at
Xenta and Jefferson streets, and found the
pawn-ticket for the watch, by which it was re
covered; he then Bald he had done the job, aided
by Dowllng only, and no one else had anything
to do with it. 6
Policeman Wadsworth testified that on the
night of the robbery he went to the Humane
Engine house to look for the three other de
fendants, and was refused admittance; after
talking with those Inside of the engine house,
he was admitted, and Q,ulun, Lane, and Dow
llng ran up to the bunk-room; they refused to
let the officer go into this room, and he had to
procure the aid of another officer and several
citizens, in order to gain udmlttance; that night
he arrested Qulun there.
Other officers testified to the subsequent arrest
of Laneand Dowllng.
Mr. Huplee, on being recalled, testified that
he was in a tavern drinking with the three de
fendants, Qulnn. Lane, aud Dowllng, and that
when he siarted down Mervlne street he left
them standing at tbe corner of Twelfth and
Mervlne streets; before he got to Eleventh
stiaetbewas attacked; but be was not sure as
to Qulnn; he thought be bad not seen him for
some ten minutes before he left the tavern.
The defense argued no evidence against
Qninn, and mistaken Identity as to Lane.
The District Attorney, who prosecuted the
case, argued that if all these defendants had not
been connected with the robbery, they would
have aided Mr. Suplee when he cried for help,
for it was committed but a short distance from
where they had been left standing, and but a
few minutes after Mr. Suplee started down the
street.
Gorman stated to the Jury tbat he had no
thing to do with the robbery. He had received
the watch from a man named George lllce, at
whose request he had pawned it In his own
name. Jury out.
