Five Of the 10 who were at the hospital hav Q

tives of man injur said "If the railroad
gets off with only 600 it will do well as
the cases are severe"

of the workmen killed were excellent artisans
and some of them were BROUGHT from the Uni
ted States where the bolt works were opened.

A Confederate Anecdote of Gen.
Sherman.

General Joseph e. Johnston, who command
ed the Confederate forces engaged in resisting
the advance upon Atlanta, once narrated the
following incident which well illustrated the
impression Sherman had made upon the minds
of the Southern solhiery at that time as a COM
mander of resources and ready expedients.
Johnston stood on Kenesaw Mountain watch
ing with his glass the movements Of his ene-
mys wagon trains on the great plain to the
northward. A. staff officer came riding up
with the news that the rebel cavalry bad got
in the rear of Sherman's army, and had bum
ed a number of railroad bridges. The officer
had been forced to make detour of two days
to get around the Union army. Scarcely had
be finished speaking when whistle was heard
and moving train appeared in the distance,
showing that Sherman had already rebuilt the
bridges and reopened his communications.
Walking past group of soldiers lounging in
overheard them discussing Shermsn's chances
of success. Said one of them, "We1l make it
a Moscow campaign and destroy his whole
army" "How can you make it a Moscow
campaign without any snow?" asked his less
enthusiastic comrade, 81 mean that we'll cut
his communications, destroy everything and
starve him out. Well burn all the bridges"
"Don't you know he carries duplicate bridges
along with him?" "N ell, we'll blow up the
big tunnel" "Oh, helli' exclaimed the other
man, With look of disgust; "you don't know
old Tecumseh Sherman. He's got duplicate
tunnel tool"-E. V. Smalley, in the January

ST LOUIS, Jan. 2.-John L. Sullivan the
champion pugilist. aud Herbert Slade, the
Ma ri, got into another row in Denuer, with
people of that place this morning. They pass
ed the night in sporting house drinking and
c4reusing, and when morning came all hands
were ready for fight. The local roughs in
whose company Sullivan aud Slade found
themselves were more than their match, and
when war was declared the champion found
himself in such close place that he retired,
aud calling at a saloon near by asked the pro-
Drietor to loan him a revolver. The request
was refused, and Sullivan then struck the IL
quor dealer. A friend of the latter jumped to
his rescue and q free fight was soon in progress.
Sullivan got out of the place into the street,
and there he was joined by Slade, who knock
ed one of Sulivan's assailants down and then
started in to "heei" him with his heavy walk
ing shoes. While this was going On two more
friends of the whisky dealer came upon the

Canadian Gre dit Weak.

The failure of the government to float a
small loan of $4 900 900 in Canada is likely to
seriously affect Canadian credit abroad. An
American capitalist, at present in this city,
when asked yesterday as to whether he was
looking for Investments in Canada, replied
that it was hardly probable that the people in
the United States would invest in Canadian
securities when the people of the Dominion
have not enough confidence in either their
government or their country to take up among
them small loan the government has placed
on the market, preterring to invest in United
States bonds, as it is reported more than one
member of the privy council has already done.
