General Sherman's statement that
the Grant funeral procession in New
York city would be the greatest ever
seen is borne out by the statement
that l60, coo men will be IN line. The
procession will start from the City

il will take the most of the day TO
pass in line the vast number of mill

The temporary tomb in Riverside
Park is fully eight and one-half milei

will travel at about the rate of two
miles an hour, requiring at least four
hours for the body TO reach the tomt

KNoxAN. Aug. 6, 1888


To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Mr.. L. Kiper, of Atkinson, Of the
firm of l.. Kiper & Sons, wholesale
s.ddlery and hardware dealers, ar
rived here last night and this morning
procured the legal services of L. N.
Conkhn and Harry l.. Sthrom, and
had o. P. Blossom arrested on debt
of some $500. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Blossom recently sold out
his business al Larnerd and came
home and reported the next day that
he had been robbed of 81, 900 the night
before, the same having been
taken from under his pillow
while asleep. The same day he made
an assignment OF his business here,
and S. b. Babcock was appointed as
signee. Nothing has been head
further about the robbery aud Mr..
Killer proposes to investigate the mat
ter for Mr.. Blossom, he seeming to
have lost all interest in the matter.
Mr.. B. should have fair trial before
the courts, but the idea that he lost
So 600 or any sum is not believed by
any man, woman or child, or even by
Blossom himself. That part Of his
failure is too thin. He says he never
missed the money until he went to
get it in the morning in order to 60
to the bank and get drafts
to pay of his debts. II was
one of the quickest steals on
record, and none take in the situation
aud circumstances SO keenly as the
creditors of Mr.. Blossom. We shall
see as he will have a chance to explain
what!
Mr.. Burns, vice-president Of the D.,
NJ. & A. railroad, writes to John p.
Jones from Belle Plsine, that there
are thirty teams at work upon the
construction, and very soon q full
force will be at work. He says the
road is sure thing, notwithstanding
the flying rumors and opposition that
has been brought to bear against the
building of the road. He further
says they do not pretend to be as
strong a corporation as the Santa Fe,
but they are just as strong Is the Santa
Fe was when they began fret in the
state, which is probably correct. Ev'
cry aid should be extended by all citi'
zens to the ID. NJ. 4 A.

day, that of Severns. Verdict. not

claim that it was all brought about
from a desire to show little Judicial

not taken iuto consideration. LEON.
