that when he was struck. il he was

Rail Read TO Cincinnati.

While the other County seats in the

Roads striking them from the South, this

River at Cincinnati; and Madison, while
Goshen expects the Peru and Indianapo-
lis L. z. to be extended TO their limits

jects for Rail Roads from the South biih-
