A MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT DUBLIN.—A
melancholy accident occurred on Saturday at the
annual summer sports of the boys of the Royal Hibernian
Military School, Dublin. As usual the chief feature in the
entertainments was a military drama. On this occasion the
scene was laid in Africa, and a portion of the Fifteen Acres
i
was furnished in imitation of an Ashantee village, n the
vicinity of which was a stockade, supposed to beheld by Da-
homians. A number of boys were dressed like Ashantoo
warriors, others as Dahomians, and others as British sol-
diers. The plot consisted in the British soldiers visiting
the villag©, i
making merry with thenhabitants, and at
last fighting them. The stockade was to be the scene of
the final assault, and it was to be captured in consequence
of the accidental explosion of the magazine. Shells and
rockets were provided for the explosion by Mr. Kirby,
who was in attendance'. All the preparations Were carried
out with the greatest care, and on the arrival of the Lord
Lieutenant, and Lady Wodehouse and family, the play
began by the A shantee lads taking possession of the vil-
lage. While they were dancing and singing the fireworks
in the stockade exploded, blew down the boards in earnest,
and shot right and left through the crowd, a shell struck'
Thos. Hart under the left shoulder, and a boy named
Chapman was severely burned on the hip, another lad was
struck in the face, and some others were burned slightly.
Hart fell at once and his shirt took fire. Two of the boys
bravely tore the burning garment off him, and had their
hands injured by doing so. It was found that the blood-
vessels of Hart's lungs were broken and he was bleeding to
death. He was conveyed to the hospital where he died in
about an hour. The other boys were also taken to the hos-
pital and are doing well. The sports were at once stopped
—his Excellency and Lady Wodehouse left, and beyeral
ladies present fainted.—Frceman'a Anima/.
