SAD ACCIDENT. Yesterday evening, about
five or six o'clock, while train of burden cars
from the wharf was standing on the curve, at
the corner OF Sixth street and Maryland
avenue, Augustus Stewart, a boy between IL
and IA years OF age, (son Of Mr.. Richard Stew
art, Superintendent of Public Buildings,)
began to move, and he was caught by the cow
catcher OF the locomotive, and thrown across
the track, the wheels OF the cars passing over
his left ankle, and severing his foot from the
leg, and passing also over the right leg OF the
boy, tearing the flesh off the calf of the leg in
horrible manner, and infiicting such severe and
painful injuries that death ensued about three
honrs after the accident
The suffering boy was taken to his home,
near by, and Drs. Willett, May, I1eberman and
Croggon we're speedily in attendance, but their
services were of no avail. 1t was at one time
proposed to amputate the right leg, but upon
administering the chloroform, the sufferer was
found to be sinking SO fast that the operation
was considered useless, and therefore it was
not performed.
The testimony of eye- witnesses as to the
cause OF the distressing occurrence is conflict.

ously.
In JAIL FOR TRIAL AT CoURT.-For a long
time the police have been looking for Thomas
Bowie colored, who stands charged with rob-
bling a man named Braxton Campbell, also
colored of S21 81, under very aggrayating cir.
cumstances. Campbell was looking for en-
ployment, and Bowie met him on the street,
and proposed to employ him, pretending that
he (Bowie) was going to open an eating house
and wanted a good cook. Campbell, glad Of a
chance to 60 to work, went with hin and one
of his associates, to see the place where the
establishment was to open; and they walked
out by Gales woods, north of the city. When
near the woods, Bowie stopped and feeling in
his pocket, remarked that he was short Of
change and wanted to get something to eat at q
shanty he pretended was Kept in the woods.
Turning to Campbell, he asked if he had any
change. Campbell took ont his pocket-book,
in which he had S27, fifty cent note and four
pennies. Bowie said to him, "Giye me that
fifty cent note!' and snatching the pocket
book and money from Campbell, ran OF into
the woods. Bowie's partner remained with
Campbell, and remarked to him, with a laugh,
"Oh! he is only fooling with you," and Camp
bell did not pursue Bowie, who disappeared
until he was arrested yes 'raay by Roundsman
Ecklof OF the Fourth ard. Justice Clark
sent Bowie to Jail for court.
