A Curious Accident.

The Jersey City Journal says On the
evening OF January 1st, VIM Lautier, driver
of No. Engine, J. G. Fire Depart
ment, started for supper, his residence be-
ing in Sixth Street. When near home he
slipped upon piece..of ice, falling backward,
and the flesh near the shoulder blade was
penetrated by the point of a well sharpen
ed lead pencil, which stood upright embed
ded in the hard crusted snow.
The pointed wooden dagger pierced
through his two coats, underclothing, and
then through the whole body, coming
slightly out--the end-in his breast near
the armpit. He ate his supper and did
not feel much pain until two hours later
though he thought he felt little sore. He
went back to the engine house and there
and then he said he thought he had broken
bone in his fall.
His coats were stripped off and then his
friends saw the sharp point of the pencil
protruding slightly, the other and unsharp-
ened end being embodied in his back. All
who saw the sight were astonished, as wei
they might be. DIR. Reeves was immedi
ately sent for, and he and Foreman Hoear
had to take pincers and cut and slash a
the flesh before they could get hold of thu
pencil so as to pull it out. The job of ex
tracing 1t was difficult Lautier now lie
at home weak in condition, though he will
recover.

Frightfnl Fall.

The St. Louis Democrat says:-On Sat
urday, about 10 o'clock NJ, an unfortunate
accident occurred at the Turkey Hill coal
pit, about five and one-half miles east of
Belleville. The pit at which the accident
occurred is owned by Fred. Sheeve, who
had in his employ Gilbert G. Collins, who
was for long time clerk in the store, but
sometimes worked at the top of the pit in
dumping the cars as they came into the
screen. There are usually two screens to
pit, which is divided into two apartments
one being used to hoist theIcar and the
other to take the empty car back.
Since the strike one of the screens was
not used on account of being too large,
and all the coal had to be screened by the
one screen in use. Mr. Collins, who was
at the top on Saturday, received car from
one of the pits, and ran it on to the dumps.
After emptying it, instead of running it
back to the place where it came, from, he
started the car to the unoccupied part OF
the pit
Discovering his mistake too late, he
tried to hold the car from going down the
pit, lost his balance, and fell down after
and ON top of the car, distance of 12(
feet, to the bottom of the shaft. He was
picked up by the miners below and sent
upAo the top. His upper jaw was cut in
two, his breast was crushed in and his lef
leg was broken. Although fatally injured
he was sensible of his condition, lived tive
hours after the accident, and died at
o'clock.

A Woman and Three Children Burned to
Death.

On Wednesday evening, about o'clock,
an accident of a very distressing charact-
er occurred at the residence of Mr.. Thom-
as Carr, near Morton station on the line of
the West Chester and Philadelphia rail-
road, about ten miles from the city. Some
of the neighbors were startled by. loud cries
which emanated from the house and upon
rushing to the premises, found the contents
of one of the lower rooms in flames.
Mrs. Carr was burned in horrible man.
ner, and was in the last agonies of death.
Three children who were in the room were

the room, and at once took fire.
