A SAD ACCIDENT.
A WARNING TO BOYS.
One BOY Kills Another by the
Careless Handling of an
Old Musket.

On Saturday morning q couple OF
boys were playing with an old Harper's
Ferry masket, on Division street, in the
shanty built for the shelter Of the per-
son having charge Of the Sixth Ward
scales, firing sSlutes to the new year.
They would lead the old gun half way
to the muzzle with paper and rags to
make it ring" And "ring" it did like
cannon. About half.past eight o'clock
in the morning, the hey, VIM. st. Charles,
who attends the scales, had the musket
in his hands, when it was accidentally
discharged, the contents passing into
the body of another boy, named Peter
McKernan, son of Thomas McKernan,
tearing hole in his back of about an
inch and half in diameter. He lived
about ten minutes after the accident.
Squire Clohan was at once summoned
to hold On inquest. He impannelled a
jury consisting of Charles Wilbert, John
Shortlinger, Lorenz Walther, August
Reuter-, James A. Barker, Fred. Nedi-
mier, Isaac Freese, Thomas Reed, James
Ashworth, VIM. Devlin, Levi Jones and
VIM. II. Taylor.
DR.. HALEY Mccoy was called to e1-
anime the body. He reported that he
had found penetrating wound about
an inch to the left of the spinal column,
about two inches in diameter, tearing
loose the second floating rib from the
spine and penetrating the left cavity Of
the breast inwards and upwards through
the left lung towards the heart.
In view of the facts presented the
jury found chat Peter McKcrnan came
to his death by being accidentally shot
and killed with a gun;in the hands Of
William St. Charles, but without evil
intent"
There was nothing in the gun but
powder and wadding, but when it was
discharged it was within six or eight
inches of McKernan's back. The de.
ceased was about fifteen years of age.
Since writing the above We have
learned that McKernan had had the
gun in his hands moment or tive be-
fore the shot was fred, and that he
probably cooked the musket himself.
This is another added to the many pre-
vious lessons given to boys in regard to
carelessness in handling firearms. One
boy is cut off on the very threshold of
life, and the other and his family
plunged in grief at the melancholy
event.
