Distressing Accident.
TWO BOYS FALL A DISTANCE OF FIFTY FsEI-oSR
kILLEp-IHL OTIIER SERIOUSLY INJURED.

TWO BOYS FALL A DISTANCE OF FIFTY FEEI-oSE
KILLED--THE OTHER SERIOUSLY INJURED.
A fatal and very distressing accident occurred
yesterday afternoon between one and two O'Clock,
in Franklin cotton Factory, corner of Ninth and
Walnut streets, by which one boy was almost in
stantly killed and another seriously injured.
Two boys, employed in the factory, named
Elwood Stout and Bernard McMakin, were anus
Ing themselves riding on the elevator, when about
fifty feet from the BASEMENT McMakin, who, 1t Is
supposed, was hanging on the rope, jumped down
on the platform, the rope being defective, broke,
and the elevator fell down TO the cellar, with the
boys on 1t. McMakin was injured internally and
died within few minutes alter he fell. When
picked up, a large quantity of blood ran out Of
his meuth
Stout when found was sitting on the floor,
leaning against the wall, and had cut on his
cheek extending from his ear to his mouth, and
severe bruises on his legs and arms. A physician
was called and pronounced Stout's wounds
serious, but he did not think would prove fatal.
Both boys were between IA and 10 years of age,
and ought 10 have been at work when the acci-
dent occurred. A young lady employed in the
mill saw them on the elevator, and warned them
to get off, but they did not heed her, and as SHE
turned to go away she heard the rope break and
the heavy thud of the elevator when 1t struck the
ground. She was the only one who saw them,
and called some men to the boys assistance.
Bernard McMaiin was the son OF John Nc
Maxim, laborcr, who lives in the Ninth Ward.
Elwood Stout is the eon of George Stout, wheel
wright living on Seventh street, near Lombard,
where he was conveyed soon after The accident.
This morning he was still suffering very much,
and no better than yesterday. Several weeks
ago boy, going up as these were on the elevator,
was precipitated from the second story to the
basement, but received very little injury. The
Coroner held an inquest on the body ot McMakiu
and the jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the facts.-7hursddy's COmmercial.

Probable Murder in sussex County.

DEsrARATE ASSAULT BY DRUNKEN MAN ON HIS
wIFE-THE VICTIM REPORTED DEAD.
A man by The name of Joseph Hearn,a farmer
living near Whitesyille,in in Broad Creek Hundred,
Delaware, committed q murderous and brutal
assault upon his wife, on Thursday evening, the
slst inst. The following appears to be the par
icuars of the case as far as can be ascertained I:
Hearn having been at Salisbury through the
day, came home in the evening considerably un-
der the Influence of liquor. little child, 10
months old, being very fretful, Hearn proposed
nursing 1t while his wife prepared supper. Be-
coming oxasperatcd at the continued fretfulness
OF the child, he gave 1t sling and threw 1t Into
an adjoining room.
Mrs. Hearn desirous of ascertaining whether
the child was hurt started to pick 1t up, but being
prevented from doing so by her husband shutting
the child in the room, she went around and en-
tered by an outside door and got the child and
was about returning to her work, when she was
net by her husband who snatched the child from
her and threw 1t violently upon the floor, and
catching his wife struck her, threw her down and
kicked her. She then got up and said, Now
Joe If you do that again will not live another
day with you" Exasperated he again caught her,
saying, "You WON'T eh !" and struck her vio-
lently and again threw her on the floor, kicking
and beating her so brutally that II Is since report
ed and generally believed that the woman has
died of the injuries received. Hearn finding that
his wife was not likely to recover has left the State
but not before week had elapsed from the time
of committing the brutal assault. No attempt
whatever was made to arrest him. The unfor-
tunate woman is said TO be very respectfully con-
ntcted, and a thrifty industrious bousekeeper,
while Hcrn, while belonging TO respectable fam
lily, has always been an outlaw, he having once
before left the State to avoid arrest for commit
ting larceny
