ACCIDENTS FROM FIREARMS. -Some two or three
weeks ago, George B. Milligan, Esq, living near
our iowa, met with very severe accident He
was duck-shooting, on Middle river, and in at
tempting TO take gun from boat, one barrel
was discharged, the whole load entering his arm.
He was taken Immediately to the city, where he
still remains, receiving the best possible atten-
ton. 1t was at first thought that amputation of
the arm would be necessary but we are glad to
say, it is now almost certain that that dread ex-
pedient will not have to be resorted to.
A son of Jacob L. Caples ESQ.,, residing near
Butler, in this county, had one of his hands shot
off while cunning one day last week We have
not heard any further particulars.
There is, as we go to press, a painful rumor
in circulation that our present Register of Wills,
Oliver P. McGill, Esq, who is now on visit to
Virginia. had one of bis hands shot off while
cunning. We earnestly trust that the report
may be n false one

FIRE IN THE County On Tuesday afternoon
last, about halfpast four o'clock, the elegant
~burban residence of Mr.. VIM. Holmes, situated
the old cattle show grounds, short dis
tance east of Charles street avenue, was discov-
cred to be on fire. The building, which was of
wood, was entirely consumed, but the servants,
with the assistance of neighbors who promptly
turned out, succeeded in saving a considerable
portion of the furniture. The fire. it is thought,
originated from defective fue. The loss is es-
tmated 10 be not less than $40, 900, over which,
il is understood there is full insurance. Mr..
Holmes and his family were absent at the time of
the fire.
Alother Fire On Wednesday morning last,
frame house occupied by and belonging to the
widow of the late Caleb Peddicord in the second
district ofthis county, took fire from some acct

The UNION RAILROAD This railroad, design
ed as an outlet to tide water for the Western
Maryland Railroad, is now in course of rapid
construction. 1t leaves the Western Maryland
road near 0wings Mills in this county, and
then reaches the city by more direct route, cross
ing the Hookstown and Falls Roads, Charles
street avenue, York, Hartford, Philadelphia and
North Point Roads, and finding an outlet on
tide water at Canton. We do not know the
exact route of the road until it reaches Charles
street avenue, but from that point it direct
ly along the bed of the falls, passing under the
York read at the lower side of Greenmount Gem
etery. 1t then runs along the south side of the
cemetery wall its whole distance, where a tun-
mel under the hill running from the Hartford to
the Beair road commences. This tunnel has al
ready been commenced, and will he about 2, 900
feet in length. The first shaft has been sunk
near the rear wall of the cemetery, to the depth
OF 4S feet below the surface, and about $50 feet
excavated; but much difficulty is experienced by
the great quantity of water in the tunnel it being
necessary to work day and night to keep the
shaft from being overnowed. The second shaft
has been sunk near the Hartford road, but so far
but little work has been done, in consequence of
the quantity of water accommodating at its base.

CONSOLIDATION "tTN TENNEssEE.-We
learn that Thomas II. Galloway, ESQ.,, Pre-
sident of the, East Tennessee aud Georgia
railroad, has also been elected President Of
the East Tennessee and Virginia road. This
gives President Galloway the control of that
portion Of the !" air line :" from Fr' stol to
Chattanooga, and as he. and General Ma
hone differ very materially in their views
Of the means best calculated to promote the
interests of the line, it is not improbable
the increased power obtained by President
Galloway by his election to the East Ten
nessee road will still farther embarrass
and retard the operations of the line from
Bristol to Norfolk. II is to be hoped, how
ever, that these difficulties may be satisfac-
torily adjusted. Otherwise the entire line
will be seriously damaged, and the trade
which should pass over it will be diverted
to other routes.-Lynchburg Neacs.

A WALL-sTREET SpEcULAToR.-James
Fisk, ST., of Brattleboro', VT, the father
of the notorious Wall-strect Spectator IN
Erie stocks, is in lunatic asylum and it
is predicted that his son, the financial
genius of Wall street, will some time or
other bring up in similar place. He and
his father began life as couple of Yankee
dry goods peddlers, driving their teams
from town to town finally young Fisk got
into the dry goods store of Jordan, Marsh
& Co., in Boston, from which he went with
a fortune of 100000 to Wall street as a
stock Spectator, getting control of the Erie
railroad rs lever to work with. He would
issue great quantities Of new stock for
speculation, aud make great F." corners " by
this means and by locking up currency.
He has won fortune of millions for him
self, and ruined the market value of the
road. He is about forty years old, and i'm
mensely fat Hartford Times.
