CANAL MEETING. "A largo number of
people met at the Court House last night
to consider the question Of filing up the
canal.
Joseph P Elliott was called to the
chair and VIM L. French was appointed
Secretary Of the meeting.
Mayor Baker stated the object Of the
meeting, and made a very sensible
speech on the subject He believed the
canal to be nuisance, fruitful source
of sickness and death. He thought when
he first saw the canal that it should not
have been located in the. city.
There was, he said, conflicting iater.
ests, the desire to promote the health of
the city and the supply Of water to the
manufacturing community. The proper
remedy was to construct Water Works
This could be prOftably done, and then
all the water should be shut out Of the

city paramount to every other considera-
ton.

RAILROAD COLLISION Wasbash
Express Of Tuesday says, terrible col

yesterday, short distance this side of
Charleston, in passing a curve. The
eastward bound train colIided with the
Paymaster's train, causing almost to-
tai wreck Of the two locomotives, and
damaging the cars to considera bic ex-
tent One man on the pay train was in
stantly killed, and three or four on the
passenger train injured, none we believe
seriously. The pay train was light, con
sisting only Of a locomotive, tender and
one coach, hence the damage agd loss
of life was not so great as it would prob
ably have been had two heavy trains
met In consequence Of the accident,
the four o'clock passenger train did no.
