This year Mr.. Field again invaded
European amusement circles, and
plucked some of the greatest stars to

fortune to secure these high grade
acts, but there is nothing too good for

A Fatal Accident.

Mr.. W. H. Ackers, the popular
and esteemed train master of the
Southern railroad, whose home is in
Columbus, met with most unfor-
nuate accident at Greenwood last Mon
day evening by having his leg cut off
by train from which he died the
next morning. From the information
we have Mr.. Ackers was alighting
from a train on a sidetrack and in SO
doing struck pile of cinders which
caused him to stumble and before he
could regain his balance his leg went
over one of the rails and the train
cut it off. He Immediately lost con-
sci ence and died the next morning.
We have known Mr.. Ackers since
his transfer to this diviison, about
eight months ago, and we found him
to be u clever, kind hearted, painstak-
ing officia. His death came as a shock
to his many friends in this city, who
deeply sympathize with his heart
broken wife and children. In the
death of Mr.. Ackers the Southern has
lost an official whose equal it will be
long time finding If he had any
faults we never discovered them and
in our associations with him found
him to be possessed many noble
traits and witnessed many acts of
kindness and charity on his part,
when we are told finds just recogni-
tion in heaven.

General Fred Grant has made re-

a total abstiner from all kindss of IL
quor, makes an earnest plea for the

ure OF the post exchange, he says,
"however radical and positive be the

although total abstainer myself, is

Grant ascribes many of the desertions
and the lack of discipline in his de-

reputable places in order to find even
the milder liquors. General Frank
d. Baldwin, only a few days ago,
filed his report on the department Of
Colorado in which his conclusions in
