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
was furnished in imitation of an Ashautee village, in the
vicinity of which was a stockade, supposed to be held by Da-
homians. A number of boys were dressed like Ashantee
warriors, others as Dahomians, and others as British sol-
diers. The plot consisted in the British soldiers visiting
making merry with the inhabitants, and at
lastthe village,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 wore 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
fireworks
Lieutenant, and Lady Wodehouse and family, the play
began by the Ashantee lads taking possession of the vil-

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 several
ladies present fainted.—Freeman's Journal.
