About o'clock last evening Albert Wills, who
lives two miles south of Southport was driving
out Virginia avenue with his wife, mother in-law
Mrs Margaret Reardon, and four children. AS
he was about to cross the railroad at the second
crossing on that avenue, a box car, sent down the
track by switching engine, barely touched his
horses head. The animal turned shortly. and broke
the shaft, at which Wills became greatly ex-
cited. Michael Curran, the 1agman, said he
gave Wills ample warning of danger, which
Wills denies. Curran has been in that position
for a long time and is regarded as a very watch
full man. Wills was anxious to sue the company
and have the fagman ousted lie seemed to
look upon every one in the crowd of spectators
as railroad men, and unbelievers in his account
of the incident

A Suggestion from Gen. Carna han.

10 the Eu1tor or the indianapolis JournaE
1t was nearly hundred years after Washing
ton died before the monument to him was com
pleted. General Grant and his comrades under his
command saved the nation that was established
by Washington. We mourn his death o-day and
with one voice say that monument worthy of
him and his lifes work should be erected. The
money for this purpose should be raised now,
and the efforts in that direction should be com
mencsd by his comrades of the Grand Army of
the Republic; not that they alone should con-
tribute the money, but they should inaugurate
the work, and grateful people will respond
The money could be raised by the day of his
burial if each Post of the Grand Army would go
to work at once and in earnest and it is to ac-
complish this purpose that suggest that each
Post should call meeting and prepare subscrp-
ton papers for Grant monument, appoint their
committees and go to work, and on the morning
of August s. telegraph General Burdette, the
commander in chief, the result
