There was no grading done, the track following tne grade oi the street, up and down hill, with very short curves in one or two places. Oh, it's a daisy ! The mere sight ot it is enough to shockv any citizen who cares for the beauty v and utility of our streets. When the work was stopped, rails had been laid nearly to Corcoran street and there were cross ties placed a- short distance bevond this. i The warrant for trespass was, made returnable before Esquire A n- gier at -2:30 o'clock, this afternoon. The case was called about that time, when counsel fof the Durham & Northern stated that a civil action would most likely ensue and ob jected to the case being tried before Esquire Angier, as he was a direc tor of the North Carolina railroad and would of necessity be a party to the action. The 'Squire stated, that if the mat ter would result in a civil suit" he prererred not to try it, whereupon he withdrew and Justices W. T.
