A. p. Silva, Of Pottsdale Furnace, or
better known as the New York and Ten

AFTER having made an examination of the

a Chapter of AccIaents.

The recent accident to Col. John Neither
land, by which his hip was broken by a
fall from runaway horse, adds one more
to the chain of accidents that have happen
ed his family from horses. About two
years ago Col. Netherland was thrown
from his horse and had his shoulder dislo-
Gated. He had hardly recovered from that
fall when he met with his last accident.
Less than year ago, Miss Netherland, a
daughter of the COlonel's. was killed by be-
ing thrown from q horse while at full
speed and dragged some distance by the
stirrup. A son of Col. Netherland, we are
informed, had his leg broken twice by an
accident with horse. 1t seems the fami-
~ is exceedingly unfortunate with horses,

On the oath inst, bids having been in
Vlted for marble work for the inside finish
Of the Lindell Hotel at st. Louis, q large
number of marble men were present. The
Superintendent requested bids for italian
and American marble, at the same time
announcing, that at the same price, Knor.
T7!Ie mGrote would be preferred. The
Lindell Hotel building is one of the largest
and most elaborately finished in the coun-
try, and this shows in what estimation
Knoxville marble Is held in this impor-
tant commercial centre. The probability
is that the Knoxville Marble Company
will furnish the marble for this Job.
