SHOCKING ACCIDBNT.-A Boy KILLED By
A FREIGHT CARA shocking casualty oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon about ave O'Clock,
on the railroad track across the fats, result
ing in the death Of young boy living on
the West Side, named Johnnie Young. The
little fellow, who is only seven years old,
was, with his brother, year or two older,
on q side>track Of tae C. L Z. railroad, be-
tween the railroad bridge and the A. & e..
". Depot, engaged in collecting old scraps
of railroad iron which we're lying there. Be-
ing engaged in this he did not notice the ap-
prOach of train, which was backing up for
the purpose of coupling with some cars on the
track, until the rapidly advancing car struck
him upon the head, fracturing his skull, but
cutting no visible cash. He was taken i'm
mediately to the Repair shop of the c. i 7.
road, and his father, who ia an employee on
the railroad, and who lives on Ward Street,
West Side, was sent for. The little fellow
lived about ten minutes, but didn't speak,
and probably was not conscious, after being
struck. No particular person can be blamed
for the accident, but the spectacle was 3
piteous enc, and suggested quite forcibiy
to the spectators the great risk of life to
which the people of city are subjected, in
which railroads are permitted to traverse
crowded business localities and Cross streets
which form the vital avenues of trade.

No OPERA LAST NIGHT.-As most Of ouI
readers already know, the opera-season did
not open, as announced, last night, owing to
the nOn-srrival of the company until a late
hour in the evening. Hundreds of impatient
an,afsurs, eager for the delicious music Of
FIOtoW's charming master piece, were turned
away in disappointment and forced to wait
patiently for twenty-four hours longer.
We are sure that the management regrets
the failure as much as the public. It has
been Mr.. Grau's pride and pleasure to open
promptly in every place whore he has been,
at the time announced. He has always,
hitherto, succeeded in doing SO, and and has
gained most enviable reputation for prompt
ness and punctuality. By referring to his
''Card" in our "Amussm ent" column it will
be seen that the entire blame rests with the
BelIefontaine and Indianapolis railroad,
which had contracted to take the company to
Crestline in time to connect with the Colum-
bus afternoon train up, and which failed to
do so. The public will at once see that this
explanation entirely exOnerstes Mr.. Grsu
from any blame.
After all, the matter is not to be go great
ly regretted. All preparations will this
evening be satisfactorily concluded, singers
and performers will be rested ,and ''Msrtha"
will be brought out in the most brilliant man
ner. We trust that it may receive fttingIy
enthusiastic reception. "Un Ballo in Mas
chera," Of which we have already spoken,
will be produced tomorrow evening, and, on
Thursday night, Meyerbesrs grand opera
''RObert e Diabte," will be given with FOrmes
as Bsrtrsm. Madame Virgins Whit
ing will make her debut as Alice. To-
night will be considered the first night of the
opera season and tickets will be received
accordingly. These who have purchased
tickets for any particular evening, and desire
to attend on that evening, can have their
tickets exchanged by calling at Brainard's
music store.
Let as give the unrivalled Carl FOrmes an
enthusiastic reception tonight, on the Occa-
sion of his first appearance in opera in CIeve-
land.

ever displayed most lady-liks civility Of
manner, as well as industrious application
to her peculiar duties, which are worthy Of all
praise.
In conclusion, the Committee will remark
that, in the selection of works to be purchas-
ed for the Library, sOme effort has been made
to secure portion of such as would be Of in
terest to mechanics, and quite a number of
valuable books having reference to architec-
ture and uilding have been purchased. The
Committee sincerely regret that the means in
the Treasury have not been more ample to
enable them to secure larger proportion of
works of this character, but hope that, ere
long, the circumstances of the Association
may be such as to enable it to attract to its
rooms q much larger number of our citizens
interested in mechanics and mechanical pur-
suits than have heretofore visited them.
There has been no debt contracted by the
Committee now existing against the AssOcia-
ton. Respectfully submitted,

Francis Gibbons, were fined 81 and costs
Alex. McAlister S. and costs; and the case
of Theo. Gibbons was continued.
Several offenders were charged with dis
turbance. Jas. Conners got SO drunk and abu-
sivs the other night, that the policemen "cOuld
do nothing with him." The Judge thought
that he could do something with him, and
fined him $40 and costs. John KOensmsn
and Henry Diokman got into a row in the
City Prison on Saturday, and were looked up.
The first plead guilty and was fined costs, the
second was discharged.
Ida Rivers and Caroline Myers were brought
up for vsgrsncy. The case of the former
was continued with s1OO bail; the latter was
sent to the House of Correction for 29 days.
Two or three cases of petit larceny were
disposed of. James Miller, German boy of

thieving and dismissed with an admonition
to sin no more. Margaret Hoffman was also
fined costs. Eliza Hamilton, young and
rather pretty looking woman, who plead
guilty to having stolen a cloak worth $25,
was fined $25 and costs, and sentenced to
imprisonment in the County Jail, fed on
bread and water, for 80 days.
James Ely and James Cooper, charged with
burgIary,in breaking into the hold of the
saransc, have slipped their bail and are of
for parts unknown.

attempted to rescue thief and prostitute
who was being taken to the station house,
was brought up, and, being an old offender,
was fined $l5 and costs.
But two cases of assault and battery were
before the Court. The case of George Knox
so defendant claimed-began in fun and
ended in earnest. For carrying his sport too
far, George had to pay the costs of the ease.
Bridget Ksnely, tough and muscular
SPECIMEN of womankind, whom, after a
proper training, we would be willing TO back
against Jem. Mace, was charged with an as
sault on Mary Mccullough, on Thursday
night last. The difficulty occurred at dance
st Cairne's saloon, where, as witness ex-
pressed it, the party were "stiff staving
drunk" Bridget had to pay a fine of $5 and
costs.

recently the efficient Superintendent of the
Cleveland and MahOniRg Railroad, was a
few days since the recipient Of q very ele-
CANT present from the employees of the old

morning, after brief absence, he found up
on his desk an elegant fob chain, acc mps-
MED by note expressing the kindly feeling
of the employees of the road toward him,
and their appreciation of his services. Mr..
Rhodes responded by letter in appropriate
term, accepting the gift with thanks. The
chain is a very eIegsnt one.

LADIES OF THE SECOND WARD.-The Re-
lief Society of the Second Ward have now
some thirty soldiers families to provide for,
but cannot proceed with the charitable work
without the requisite funds,
The society has 1913 members, but many
are in arrears with their subscriptions. The
Committee for Collecting the Dues find it q
very srduous task, and it was thought advis-
able to change the method at a meeting Of
the Society, held on the Sth inst. A resoIu-
ton was therefore passed authorizing the
Treasury to lend to each member, quarterly,
bill calling for the amount due. It was
also resolved TO solicit new memberships
from those who have not been called upon.
The sum is small one, but if promptly
paid, will be sufficient to meet the necessities
of the dependents.
These resolutions will be carried into efFect
Immediately, and it is hoped each member
will be prompt in remitting to the Treasurer
By order Of the Society.

PERsoEAL.-Jsmes G. Clark, the poet
vocalist and fsvorite ballad singer of the
Empire State, arrived in this city last even
ing, from the East, and is stopping st the
Wedden. Mr.. Clark is among the finest
writer's of ballads since Tom Moore. He is
the author of " The Mountains of Life, "
'Marion Moore, "Fremont's Battle Hymn"
"Ths Children of the Battle Field, "Leons, "
and other poems familiar to our readers.
He sings in Hudson, on Wednesday, being
engaged by the students of the W. B. Col
Iege. We hope he may find it convenient to
sing in Cleveland before many dsys-other
engagements we learn, prevent his doing 50

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-04-12

In addition to the regular salary of the
City Civil Engineer last year, an aPpropria-
tiOn of $500 was voted him by the Council,
making the total salary received by that Of
fcer for the year, 81 800.
The increase in the salary of the Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department is especi-
ally cOmmsndable. The Office is one of great
responsibility, demanding an experienced,
quick, courageous, commanding man. It is
also difficult, hazardous, expensive and
annoying Office. Five hundred dollars was
a salary altogether too small for good Fire
Engineer, and Cleveland ought not to have
any bat q good enc.

SIXTH WARD MUTUAL AID AssOOIA-
TIoE.-At meeting of the citizens of the
Sixth Ward, the above Association was
formed for the relief of those who may be
drafted on the last call for 100000. The
quota of our Ward, in addition to the two
previous calls, which have been filed, is very
large-about so men-snd there is NO hope
of obtaining these men. The shares in this
Association have been fixed at ten dollars,
which brings them within the reach of every
man; and it is hoped that every citizen
whether liable to draft or not, will take from
one to five shares, according to his ability.
In case of draft, the whole amount will be
divided among those drafted who belong to
the Association but if no draft shall come,
the money will be returned to the subscri-
bers.
A meeting will be held at the Wigwam on
Wednesday evening, 18th inst.
The officers of the Association are as fol-
lows:
Presidsnt-W. P. ,gg-
Vioe-P -President-John Huntington,
