The Sandwich Spread.
The young ladies of the Baptist W.
V. Society gave our people an intes"
esting evening at the Sandwich Spread
in Germania Hall Tuesday night. The
hall was spiendidly decorated for the
occasion. The nose guessing feature
did not entirely meet their anticipation
trom the fact that it proved impossible
to keep the twelve noses protruding
through the curtain still long enough
for the mspection and guesses to be
wade, hence this had to be declare. off,
though it afforded much amusement
while it lasted. The ladies made
something over $20 on the supper and
refresliments served,
Horse Eulled.
The passenger traia coming in Tues-
day evening killed a horse just before|
reaching the depot. The animal was
picked up by the pilot about half way |
between the Fourth and Fifth street]
crossings and was dropped jusi at the}.
edge of the Clark field, being carried a ,
little over 200 yards by the engine.
Tracks on the road bed showed that the
horse turned out ot Fitth street and
walked almost up the centre of the
railroad to where the engine " struck it.
The horse was a small sorrell, in very
poor condition, and had nothing on but
a smuil piece of rope wrapped two or
three times around the neck, It be-
ionged to Sam Bryan, colored, and the
railroad very promptly settled with
him this morning. !
