.qccident TO Bishop EccieSton. The Right Rev.
Archbishop Eccleston, narrowly escaped being
killed on Saturday evening last. While riding
in his carriage, the horse attached became fright
ened and bolted suddenly off at full speed, and
the Bishop finding he could exercise no control
over the animal leaped from the carriage, near
the corner of Monument and Park streets, and
falling heavily upon the street, he was complete
ly stunned and unable to rise. Assistance was
promptly rendered, and he was conveyed to his
residence, corner of Charles and Mulberry sts.
Drs. Gibson, Chatard, and other medical gen.
tlemen were called to his aid, and upon investi-
CATION it was ascertained that no serious injury
had been received, the principle wounds being
upon the scalp of the head lin the region of the
right temple. He was otherwise slightly bruised.
We were pleased to learn, upon inquiry yester-
day afternoon, that Bishop Eccleston was doing
well, and his medical attendants express the
hope that he will soon be restored to health.

Gross and Palpabls Neglect. Lieut.. Carman,

fired the stable. Such carelessness is highly
reprehensible.
