sent home Yesterday The only blood
shed so far was shed last night by acci-
dent. An officer on guard at coal
establishment, wakening from the night

1895 bushels of grain, arrived here
via the Erie railroad last week. The
shipments of westward bound freight

decorated. The Episcopalians and
Catholics were the most exact in their
observances of the day, but other de-
nominations paid more difference to 1t
than formerly.
