ANOTHER HORRIBLE CAsUALTY.-
About halEpast nine o'clock yesterday
morning, an accident resulting in the
instant death of brakeman named
Charles Boone, occurred ON the Oil
Creek Railroad at Housewife. II ap.
pears that the up train, second-class
one, due at that places at 9:37 a. M,
had just arrived but not stopped, when
the brakeman leaving brake that he
had set on the forward end of coal
car, was thrown off his feet by an un-
expected start of the locomotive, which
at the same instant broke the coupling,
and the cars parting, he fell between
them and was run over and terribly
mutilated; in fact nearly cut in two
by several of the remaining cars of the
train. He was pulled out before the
train stopped, but died instantly. The
case appears to be purely accidently

Thursday morning about two
o'clock, Mr.. James Mullet, clerk at the
Empire House, was awakened by some
person or persons attempting TO break
into the room in which he sleeps on the
first floor of the house. Cody taking
up revolver lying by the side of his
bed, he blazed away in the direction
of the noise, but unfortunately the viii
lain was shorter than he had counted
on and the ball passed over his head
and through the window, lodging in
wall, the burglar making his escape.
Ever since tho attempt at burlary
made last summer ON the Empire
House, Mr.. Mullet has been prepared
to give the villains warm reception,
and he has the will to do it. We would
suggest however, that when cunning
for game of this description he lower
his aim, for the aim that will reach
short man will prove just as effective
on tall one.-Couy Telegraph,

compliment to Mr.. +. ii. Bush, of
