THE GRAND UNION" This hotel has
gained wide popularity both on account
of its eligible situation-t being directly
opposite the Grand Central Depot-and
the excellent manner in which it is kept.
By stopping at this house, guests save the
heavy expense of carriage hire and ex,
pressage, baggage being carried to and
from the depot without charge. 1t is first
class in every respect, and yet the rates Of
charges are lower than at any other frs,
class house in the city. 1t is conducted

The Diamond 10 Strikes the Bridge.
The steamer Diamond 10 struck one of
the draw piers when coming down this
friday morning, tearing away part of
her larboard guard from about mid-ship
aft. The boat was landed at our levee and
discharged eight cars of grain for re-ship-
ment to St Louis by the Rockford road.
Capt. Conger says they whisted twice be
fore the draw was swung, and this delay
compelled them to stop the engines and
back hard. to prevent the 10 from coming
in contact with the draw before it was
swung, and when they did go through the
draw was not fully open. The wind was
blowing almost gale at the time, and it il
a wonder that the damage to the boat is SC
light. She took very little water and will
proceed on her way without much delay.

Coroner Knox is trying to exculpate
himself in regard to his ungentlemanly and
unfeeling conduct concerning the late j.
B. Herdman. and he has procured the
following card from Dr. Stark and publish
ed it in the Union, from which paper we

this city went with them to the residence
of Coroner Knox. The gentlemen from
this city introduced them as having come
for the trunks of Mr.. Herdman, with an
order from the firm in New York for
whom MIR. Herdman was travelling. Mr..
Knox asked to see the order and on read
ing it Immediately said they could have
them. They then asked for his valise,
watch, etc. Mr.. Knox replied that he, as
coroner. could not let them 60 as he was
responsible to the relatives of the deceased
for them.
Then, after some conversation between
the gentlemen of this city, one of the gen
tlemen from Fl. Madison, said that Mr..
Herdman had left an order that, if any.
thing should happen him, for them to care
for his things.
Mr.. Knox. on reading this order sale
