The fortitude with which Mr. Eaton has borne his sufferings has been widely noted, and with his broken limb, broken shoulder and the great gash cut across his face, he has fought Dbravely against death that largely emed inevitable from the commencement. His journey to his home in this city was a loug und hard ride for one in his precarious condition, and while at first it appeared as though he was goiug to stand the great fatixue without complicating his sufferings the hope was a false one, for only a few hours after reaching home he began to fail rapidly LINCOLN BUREAU OF Tur Oyana Bee, } briefly men- cning a large number of the travel- ing men in the eity held a meeting to assist at the funeral. 1he meeting deciaed that the traveling men attend the funeral in a t the Capital hotel at 1 p. m. to-morrow, going thence together to Grace M.

CITY ITEMS, Two women driving in the business part of the city yesterday carelessly drove into the multitude of ditches that abound, Ono of them was thrown out and run_over, and a erowd quickly gathered, but the lady did not sustain serious mjuries. There are some very loud complaints against the policy of putting the city police under bonds, many claiming that the method makes the officers so wary that arrests are not made when they should be. A gentleman, in illustrating this fact, stated that a drunken mun who was furiously swearmgand abusing his sou on O street, in'the midst of thr of passers by, including ladies, was followed two blocks by an officer who was vaiuly u ing to pacify him, instead of promptly resting him and landing him in the coolé: A youug man named 1. Buckley, wio is in the émploy of Kendall & Smith, at their warchouse, dislocated his shoulder in lifting a few duys ago. To-duy he called at Tue Bek oftice and states that he had been badly handled by the physicizns who attended to plm-iuf his shoulder in position. He stated that they put him under the influence of chloroform ugainst his protest and laid him on the warehouse floor, where, in putting his shoulder in place, one of them crowded with his boot into the hollow of his arm at the shoulder until he tore the flosh for four inches, going away without sewing up the wound and before he came from under the infiuence of the drug adininistered to hin. He stated that he had to procurc another physician at once to sew up the wound torn under his arm by the boot of the practitioner, and that from the hand- ling he had, he had been greatly injured. The two physicians are well known in the city, and if Mr. Buckley's statements are not overdrawn they exhibited a manner of prac- tice without excuse, Mr. A. P. Burbank, the noted elocutionist, will give one of his delightful entertainments at Funke's opera house on Wednesday even ing.

The excitement attending the announce- ment of the recent election of the distin- guished ex-confederate soldier, General Joseph E. Johnston as a contributing mem- ber ot E. D. Baker Post, No.8, G. A. R, Philadelph has not yet abated in the least, suys the Philadelphia Record, and the dis- ons and differences of opinion which prevail upon the subject by grand army men promise to create trouble in the ranks of that organization. The members of Colonel Fred Taylor Post, No. 19, one of the largest posts in this city, have become particularly in- censed over the clection of General John- ston. A resolution was unanimously adopted at the last muster condemning Post No. 8 and stating “That on consultation with able counsel we are advised that the action taken by General E, D, Baker Post, No. 8, in elect- ing General Joseph E. Johnston, of the rebel army, as a contributing member thereof is a violation of the objects, aims, prineiples, spirit and meaning of the organization of the Grand Army of the Republic, and in order to have the subject properly adjusted Ly the proper authority a committee of three com- rades of this post (of whom the past com mander shall be one) is appointed to properly present the case to the department comman- der, and through him to the commander-in§ chief of the Grand Ariny of the Republic ut the earliest possible woment, in order that thes mischief already done may, i ble, be corrected, and future avoided.” One of the department officers of the G. A, R, in this city, who 1s thoroughly acquainted with the working of the order, stated that the national judge advocate general had de- cideqa, when an appeal was made to the order for contributions to assist some southern people at a time of great distress, that posts could not contribute money to aid those who has rebelled against the government, Inas- much as this decision had been made, this gentleman claimed that posts should not re- ve contributious from ex-confederates This view of the subject is, however, ridi- culed by some members, who say that' posts can receive contributions for Decoration day or for other purposes from confederate sol- diers without violating any law. One of the interesting questions that have been raised is a8 to whether there can be “contributing or honorary membership in the Grand Army.” The rules and regulations of the order make no provision for other thun a full membership. Nearly all the posts have, however, these svperfluous members con- nected with their organizations. e — FIRE AND POLICE, it blunders Officer Hughes Expelled For Drunk- enness—Weir's Recommendations, At the meeting of the fire and police com- missioners last evening the leave of absence of Oflcer McCarty was extended six days, W, L.
