WEDNESDAY, Oct. 18th.
Editor of Kennebec Journal:
In your issue of this morning YOU have an
evening, in which you say that driving in the
vicinity of the gas-house, that nv horse
'tunbled" into ditch. As the item as pub
lished bv you is liable to be misleading,
and to throw the blame and responsibility up
on myself and my clumsy horse, giving
the time at 5 80 p. NJ, when it is ligh enough
tor any traveller to see distractions in the
highway and to avoid them. l therefore ask
to be allowed to give correct statement of
the accident.
AT O'Clock last evening, (instead of 30
as stated in your item), it being cloudy
home from my place of business
passed through Bond street, and as
my horse turned into State street, he came
upon bank of earth just thrown out of a
trench being dug by the Augusta Water Co.,
and close to the edg,. OF said trench. he
seemed to lose his foothold in the loose earth
or by stepping over the edge of the trench,
and Tell and lid into TIE marrow trench back
down and feat up. 1t was so dark at this
time that could not see the obstruction un
til alighting from my wagon.
The accident was caused by gross careless.
ness and negligence in not placing Lights
there to warn passengers of danger.
In view of the MANY accidents of the kind,
occurring in our city, and The apparent indif.
ference TO the rights and convenience of the
people Of Augusta MS we'll the public gen
orally, manifested by the Augusta Water Co.
would ask it the citizens of Augusta have
any rights IN our highways, which the Au-
gusta Water Co. are bound to respect

to give the finishing touch and make the per-

sKiil OF the cutter and the wo,kmen who
make the garment. This skill of the cutter
Is something that can not be brought out by
