MAN KILLEp-Wiam Jones, an English
man, but a resident Of this City, where he kept
butter store, came to an awful death in Balti-
more on Tuesday night, at Mr.. Neil's board
ing house while in state of intoxication. 1t
seems that he had been drinking during the day,
and after eating his supper at night, SAID he was
drunk, and was ashamed of IL He was ADVISED
to go TO bed, and did About half past
eleven o'clock, Mr.. Nell was aroused from sleep
by the noise of some one calling from the yard
He went down and there found Jones lying
the brick pavement. Upon asking how lie came
there he said he did no: know, bat that he was
unable to rise On attempting to raise him, 1t
was found that he was bleeding from the back,
he being only in his night dress.
One Of tho boarders was called up, and with
his assistance Jones was removed TO his bedroom
and Mr.. Neil expressed his wish to go FOR a ply
stefan. This Jones refused TO agree to, saying
he WAS not in much pain, and would be better
directly, and that he would have no doctor. Mr..
Nell then left him and retired. In the morning,
when the family rose, upon going up stairs TO
n Iuire how Jones was, he was found 10 be
dead. The bed was partially saturated with
blood, leading to the belief that he had bled 10
death
Upon examining in the yard it was at once
made evident that the unfortunate man must have
fallen, while intoxicated, out OF the window OF
the room to which he retired in the third story of
the building, striking in the descent first smoke
house, and next the edge of a wooden spout, the
latter cutting hole in the back near the spine
from which wound, it is presumed, the flow OF
blood mentioned came. Other injuries were no
doubt received tending to cause his death.
ExpLosloy-O of the boilers Of the steam
engine mandatory, at Fox Point exploded yes
tcrday afternoon at about 6 O'Clock, with terrible
effect, tearing the building to pieces, and scatter
ing every thing in confusion and ruin. The boil
or was torn into pieces like strips of cloth, and
bust through the building at different sides. One
piece went through the side Of an adjoining build
ing, passing not far from man who was writing
at the desk. No one WAS seriously injured.
A man employed in Capt. Stcnhauer's coal
yard had his face grazed by fragment Of the
building, hut was not badly hurt. The work
men had gone out a few minutes before the eX
plosloD, and only two remained in the establish
ment. Had the accident taken place when the
works were in operation many lives would have
been lost and it is most providenia that no per.
son in the street or in the neighborhood was IN
lured 1t is impossible to estimate the loss with
any accuracy IL CdIl udlGly oe lCSS tD1l loui VI
