A SERIOUS AccIDKNT.-Mr. &. A.
johnson, for some years Janitor at
Odd Fellows Hall, on Monday after
noon, about half.past 2 O'Clock, as we
learn from the Enterprise, met with an
accident by which he was so seriously
injured that doubts are entertained OF
his recovery. He was mounted upon
a tall step-ladder, engaged In remov-
ing a canopy In the hall, which was
being damaged by water leaking
through the roof, when the canopy,
with frame and all, suddenly came
loose, and he was pulled from the lad
der and fell to the floor, . distance Of
ten or twelve feet. He landed upon q
raised portion Of the floor running
round tho hall; among a lot OF split
ICONS, breaking his right thigh just
below the hip joint and cutting q
frighttul cash In his right cheek, the
flesh being laid open to the jaw-bone.
He was taken into q room adjoining
the hall, where he was attended by
DR.. White. His head would seem to
have been Injured internally, as blood
oozed from both of his ears, and he
appeared to be quite Eighty in mind at
times. Being q man about sixty years
of ace the chances for his recovery are
few and not flattering. Mr. johnson
Is a member of Virginia Lodge No.
10, and his brother members are doing
ali for him that can possibly be done.
