FATAL ACCIDENT Monday
morning last, three men, James
Rourke, Adams and Reynolds, left
the city in small boat, for the pur-
pose of collecting old iron in the
neighborhood of Sumter. They sue
ceeded in obtaining boat load, but
being detained at Fort Sumter on
account of the storm, Mr.. Rourke
endeavored, on Wednesday afternoon,
to extract the powder from shell.
The party were on the brea1-water of
the fort engaged in this work, when,
about p. m, the shell on which Mr..
Rourke was laboring exploded, tear
ing his right leg off near the thigh,
and throwing it into the water fifty
yards from the fort. The unfortu-
nate man died in few minutes after
the sad occurrence, and his body was
brought to the city by his compa-
MONS. Mr.. Rourkc leaves wife and
four children. Charleston Ncus.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.-The burglar,
Thompson, against whom u warrant
was issued last week Ton Tuesday,
for breaking into the store of Messrs.
L. A. Jeffords & Co., has not yet
been caught. He was pursued until
midnight of the same day, but
escaped. His house was searched
and goods were found therein which
connect him with the burglaries COM
mitted previously on the railroad
depot and the store of Messrs. Eze-
kiel & Kohn. Articles were recovered
which had been taken from both of
these places, as we'll as from the cars,
which were standing at the depot un-
loaded. One of the keys belonging
to the railroad cars (which are pecu-
liar) was also found.
AS the laws of the State allow any
one to arrest felon, we hope he will
be picked up somewhere in the coun-
try and be committed to the safe
keeping of the sheriff.
We give the following description
of him: Thompson is mulatto,
about five feet seven inches in height,
stout built, one eye destroyed by
small pox, and his face somewhat
pitted from the same disease.
