Gred feet long, below Woodstock, came
across two horses on the track The tres
tie is only crossed by a ten-inch plank in

animals dashed at full speed, the train in
hot pursuit, and though the night was
pitch dark, they got safely over the mario W

got safely down the bank, but the other
slipped On the track and the engine passed
over him, cutting him square in two. 1t
is mystery how the frightened animals,
in the darkness of night, going on run,
followed by the shrieking locomotive,
could have crossed narrow walk-way at a
dizzy height, which il requires a man with
cool head to cross in the day time.

DEATH OF PETER C INDEPENDENCE -
KURTz.-Peter Kurtz, a Wellknown and
very eccentric citizen. died yesterday at 1
O'Clock at the residence of Mr.. Patrick
Toohey, his brother-in-laW, on Frederick
street, after an illness OF several days.
For many years he had published at inter
walls little paper called "The Catamount
and Funny Boy,'' and from it's sale derived
considerable means He was about 60
years old and was born on the Fourth of
July, from which fact he added " indie
pendence'' to his name. All his eccentri-
cities were harmless, and Of character to
furnish amusement to his felloW-citizens,
without annoyance. He had committed
almost the entire Bible to memory, and
could without hesitation tell the chapter
and verse of any passage. He often walked
to Winchester, where he has relatives, and
sometimes carried flag ON the route. He
was as honest as the sun, and any i'm
parchment of his integrity, even ia jest,
made him an enemy for life of the jester.
He was attended in his last moments by
Rev. DR.. G. Manly, of the Baptist Church.

Mr.. Guy-It is unfortunate that thi,

Mr.. Guy-It is unfortunate that this
resolution had not been offered yesterday,
before the curbing had been set.
MI ker opposed the resolution, saying
the engineer had the right line now, and
when property is burnt or pulled down the
owners III rebuilding will have to set 1t
back, and if the foot line were made,
they would in such cases be petltlonlng
the Council to let them occupy the ground.
Mr.. Kayser sa id that yesterday morning
he had agreed with MI Evans, but his
views had been changed since, and he
| should vote against the resolution.
The ayes and noes were then taken on
the resolution for s feet and resulted:
Ayes-Bagby, Evans, German, and
Hoge-4.
| Noes-Alby, Bickle. Burke, Echols,
Guy, Ker and Kayser-7.
CAN GET PLACES IF THEY WILL WORK.
Mr.. German offered a resolution in
structing the Engineer to employ at least
an equal number of whites and blacks on
the works, and to give residents of Staun-
ton the preference. He said while persons
from other places were employed, our own
citizens were walking about without work.
Mr.. Ker-Who of our own citizens are
walking about without work and want it.
Mr.. German Pat Toohey, for one.
Mr.. Evansville was employed on the
work, and wouldn't work, and was dis
| charged. Who is another?
Mr.. Gorman-Kennedy
Mr.. Alby-Kennedy had work but
wouldn't do it.
Engineer Allen--I told Mr.. Bryant
where men were willing to work to give all
a JOB, without distinction of race oracolor
AL who want work and are willing to do
| 1t can get it; there is no distinction in
! favor of or against anybody, the only dis
tinction is between those who work best
and those who don't. ~
Mr.. Evans said the resolution was I'M
necessary. and was in the light of refec-
ton on those in charge Of the work, and
he hoped it would be voted down unani-
mously.
The resolution was then voted down,
ten to one, and the Council adjourned.
THE BRIDGE ON AUGUSTA STREET.
The new bridge on Augusta ST., which
has been let to Abraham Shines (colored)
at $3.50, bein about 81 900 less than the
Council limited the work to, is already in

successful sub-contractor on the Valley

he has undertaken. 1t will be finished by
the 10th of December next.
