iyDGSrIrY QUEsTIoNED-It was stated
ia the GAZETTE on Thursday that dis
ia.ch had been received here announcing
Iasd-ah, oy railroad accident in Lousi,
ana. oI G, orge Woodward. 1t was supposed
l1at George Woodward, son of MIR. Amos
Woodward, OF this city, was the unfortunate
'nan, but to-day another dispatch was re
c-lvrd stating that the mans name was
Geo W woodward, so there is a question OF
doubt as to whether it was Mr.. Amos WOOD
wards SOP. The dispatch stated that let
tsr containing full particulars was on lis
way here.
