SkvERE AccipEsr.-On the occasion
of the FIRE at Virginia last night, Dan
Lyons and another man had the tongue
of Eagle Engine No. 3, running down
Taylor stree, with her, when by the
iueficiency Of the men on the brakes,
the heavy machine got away with them.
Lyons was thrown down and run over /;
his companion escaped by jumping out of
tho way in time. The machine ran into
a house near the corner of Z street
and was thrown on her beam ends in
the vacant lot at that point, breaking
the near hind wheel, and sustaining
other less important damages. Lyons
was picked up and properly cared for.
His left ankle was badly lacerated and
he sustained other severe bruises and
coutusious, but fortunately no bones
were broken. He was indeed lucky to
escape with his life. We sincerely
hope our good friend may soon recover
from this last uudeserved streak of mis-
fortune.

or no hope of his recovery. He remains
