A man with that object in view arrived in the city several day ago and is now ready to enlist everybody whose overp wering sympathy for the struggling patriots is of sufficient strength to urge him to fight. He will be given all the fighting utensils he wants, and all that his required of him will be to use them upon the Spanish soldiers. This man has already obtained a number of enlistments.

The Kirkwood electric railroad had just been completed, and crowds were taking advantage of its being Sunday to patronise the line. Every car was crowded. The line is a single track system, with switches at intervals to be used for the passage of cars. It was the disobedience of a rule providing that a car going in a certain direction should keep a siding until the next car in the other direction had passed, that caused the accident. An east bound car, with J. S. Peasley as conductor and J. A. Akin as motorman stopped at a siding about one mile this side of Kirkwood. The west bonnd car not appearing, the carmen decided to try and make the town in a flying trip. They had almost reached the end of their journey when the other came around a curve and they both crashed together. The sastbound car was running at the rate of at least thirty-fivmiles an hour.
