FATAL ACCIDENTS. - Saturday afternoon,
about five O'Clock, Frank D. Barnard, sixteen
years of age, son of Mr. A. B. Barnard, who lives
on Crescent street, while passing along the Wor-
cester and Nashua railroad, between Foster and
Exchange streets, attempted to jump upon a
passing freight train. He slipped and fell upon
the track, the cars running over and crushing
his left leg and arm. He was Immediately
taken to his fathers house, and the best medi-
cal assistance summoned, but to no purpose,
for after lingering about three hours he ceased
to breathe. The deceased was a remarkably
bright and intelligent youth, and was about to
enter the Technical school. A sad feature of the
case was the absence of his parents from the
city. They did not return until some time after
his death.
A short time after the above lamentable
to an Irish girl named Demire, who lived with a
Mr.. Brosnihan, on Temple street. She was
building fire preparatory to getting supper,
which, failing to kindle Immediately, she at
tempted to pour some kerosene oil from a can
into the stove. No sooner had the oil touched
the flames than the can exploded, throwing the
burning fluid over her clothes which soon be-
came one sheet of fame, and were with difficult
ty extinguished by parties who, attracted by
her cries, FASTENED TO her assistance. Drs. Nc
Nulty, Martin and Hobart were summoned, and
did all in their power to relieve the suferings of
the unfortunate girl. She had been in this
country but two weeks, and was either ignorant
of the explosive qualities of the fluid or very
thoughtless in using it for any such purpose.
She died about four o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Last Friday, as the workmen on the Ware
River railroad were engaged in excavatng for
the road bed in Hardwick, near Old Furnace
village, they came upon an old grave yard,
where they have eXhumed some ten or twelve
skeletons. The town records have been searched,
and nothing can be found that gives any in
formation in regard to the matter. An old lady
eighty-fve years of age says that her grand
father used to tell of public burying ground
somewhere in that locality. At present the
whole affair is mystery, and there seems to be
no means of obtaining any clue in regard to the
matter.
About half-past two last Saturday afternoon,
fire was discovered in the picker room of Stow
ell Wards satinet factory in Quinpoxet
Village, Holden. An alarm was Immediately
given, but the force pump, which was the only
means of protection, was found to be out of or
der, and the flames soon communicated to the
main factory and dye room, all of which were
totally destroyed. There was large amount
of stock and machinery in the buildings, of
which but little was saved. The total loss will
be about 100000; insured for nearly $40 900,
principally in New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago companies.

FUNERAL OF THOMAS EARLE.-A large num-
Der of people, friends of the deceased, prominent
citizens and members of the 25th regiment, were
present, on Saturday, at the funeral services
over the remains of the late Thomas Earle. In
accordance with the plan announced, the exer-
cises were conducted in the peculiar form Of the
Friends worship. After season of solemn ST
lence, q. A. Chase read some appropriate selec-
lions of Scripture; and portion of the COM
pany Joined in singing the beautiful hymn:
Nearer, my God, to Thee"
Rev. R. b. Stratton, who had been personally
acquainted with the deceased, then spoke, briefly
and feelingly. He alluded, especially, to the
well known devotion of Mr.. Earle to his convic-
tions of right, and stated that personal inter
course with the deceased had revealed firm
faith in the great principles ofreligion, as well as
high standard of personal piety. Mr.. StrattOn
followed his remarks with short prayer
James S. Rogers read an anonymous poem,
beginning:
"0hl weep not for him,-'tis unkindness to weep;
The weary worn frame has but fallen asleep.
No more of fatigue or endurance it knows;
Oh weep nOt,-Oh break not the gentle repose"
Another silence ensued, and the meeting was
closed in the usual form of Friends religious
gatherings The exercises, though simple, as
described above, were most solemn and i'm
presslve, and the interest manifested by the
large gathering testified to the deep feeling OF
sorrow for the dead and respect for his memory.
The interest in the scene was heightened by the
presence of the two children the legal separation
from whom caused the terrible insanity that
ended in the death of the father.
The remains were buried at Rural cemetery,
the pail bearers being: Dr.. Merrick Bemis, P. j.
Turner, A. N. Currier, and F. Inman. At the
grave, Mayor Earle, brother of the de
ceased, broke the silence in which the
mourners stood around the coffin, speaking in
brief but feeling words of the loss sustained by
the family, the friends, and the community.
Mrs James S. Rogers, daughter Of Mayor Earle
repeated the Lords Prayer" T. X. Earle
brother of the deceased, recited the hymn, be-
ginning:
Father, before thy footstool kneeling;"
And the solemn ceremonies ended with the
burial.
