Serious Accident.-On Saturday morn
ing while an oil train ON the P. r. r., was
running between Mexico and Thompson
town, the oil in one of the large iron tanks
took fire. The portion of the train on
fire was at once uncoupled from the rest
and left to burn, but in a few moments the
tank exploded with terrible force, throwing
the oil to quite distance, and seriously
injuring several employees. One of the men
injured named Lloyd Kreamer, was so Sc
riously burned that his recovery is doubt
full. He was a fireman on wood train,
and was passing the tank at the time of the
explosion. The accident delayed travel but
short time.

Man ShOt.-On Wednesday afternoon Of
last week, (the day being wet), several of
the carpenters engaged in the erection of
John Spots new barn, in South Middleton
township, few hundred yards south. of
our borough line, concluded to stop work
and engage in the trial of their skill at
target shooting with rifle The men
who participated in the amusement took
position inside Of Bosler's mill and fired
through an open door way at mark placed
in ravine some two hundred feet distant.
Several shots had been fired, when Thomas
Gibler, the miller at Bosler's mill, conclud-
ed to try his hand. Loading the gun and
placing cap on the nipple, he brought
the piece to his shoulder and took deliber-
ate aim at the target At length he pulled
the trigger, and at this very instant Henry
Fiehl, a carpenter who had been engaged
on the barn, and who had been outside the
mill, turned the corner and stepped directly
in front of the rifle, (his object being to
enter the mill.) receiving the bullet in his
head just above the ear. He fell, gave two
convulsive struggles, and was dead. Of
course the firing party was Mortified, and
Mr.. Gible, who held the rifle that sent the
ball crashing through Fiehl's head, was
paralyzed with anguish. Carlisle Volun-
teer.

Murder in Dauphin COunty.-On Friday
a week, man named Abraham Benin, re-
siding near Middletown, was killed by two
stragglers, while shelling corn in his
barn. The intention of the chaps was to
kill another brother and to rob the premi-
ses, but the housekeeper blowed horn and
aroused the neighbors, causing the muir
derers to leave before accomplishing their
intentions. Two negroes have been ar
rested at Harrisburg, for committing the
deed, and have been held for trial at the
January term. The preliminary examina-
tion showed pretty conclusively that they
were the guilty party.

Warning to Gunners. Tuesday after
noon, Emanuel and Charles Smith, two
young men aged respectively II and 20
years, who reside near Dallastown, in York
county, were out shooting partridges, when
the former was accidentally shot by the
latter, and almost instantly killed. A
covey of birds flew up, when Charles, the
younger brother, in raising his gun to shoot
at them, prematurely discharged his piece,
and lodged the contents of the load in
Emanuel's stomach, causing his almost in
slant death. This is a most terrible warn
ing to the host of gunners in this latitude
many of whom are unlearned in the art of
handling guns.

Discharged. Duncan and Mich
ael Smeigh, charged with robbing Michael
Foltz Of about $95, and beating him in the
narrows between Newport and New Bloom
field on the evening of the 9Th inst, was
brought before Judges Junkin and Baker,
on Friday, the 21st inst, on writ of
Habeas Corpus issued at the instance of
their counsel, Lewis Potter. A number of
witnesses were examined, but nothing was
ELECTED tending to show that the defendants
were in any way connected with the rob
bing. The evidence showed pretty clear
ly that certain party who started with
Mr.. Foltz from Newport on his wagon,
committed the deed.
Mr.. Foltz was badly intoxicated and has
no recollection of what occurred. The
defendants were discharged, and the county
directed to pay the costs. A large number
of spectators were present and much in
terest was manifested.

Hearse Wrecked. esterday morning at
about 10 o'clock, while the funeral process
sion of an aged woman named McDermott
was vending it sorrowful way down Seven
teenth street towards the cemetery, the
horses attached to the hearse became fright
ened at a locomotive and ran away. Start
ing at the bridge, they ran at break-neck
speed the distance of half square, when
the wheels struck the curbstone and the
hearse was violently upset and thrown on
the pavement The jar was sufficiently
severe to in measure demolish the coffin,
and the corpse was exposed to public gaze.
The scene that ensued is said to have been
terrible one. Strong men turned pale,
women sobbed aloud, and the harmony of
the entire procession, which was very
large one, was seriously disturbed for the
time being. The coffin was repaired as
speedily as possible, and, borne by the pail
bearers, the body Of the old lady was con-
veyed to the "city of the dead' and con-
signed to its last home.-AltoOna Tribune.

n Serious Fall.-0n Monday evening
serious accident happened to Mr. Aaron
Dorsey, at Duncannon, which may prove
fatal. He was coming up from the depot
just after the 7.87 train left, and (when as
he supposed) at the crossing, he attempted
toeress the railroad, but the night being
very. dark, he walked too far up and in
stead Of crossing at the proper place was
precipitated over the embankment, some
fifteen or twenty feet in height. His cries
attracted the attention Of passers by, and
he was picked up and taken to his shop
close by, where DIR. Werner made an ex-
animation and dressed his wounds. A
terrible cash of at least three inches in
length was found TO have been cut in his
head, producing slight concussion Of the
brain, the spinal column badly injured,
besides a number of other bruises and some
internal injuries. AT this writing Mr.. ID.
lies in a critical condition, but hopes are
entertained of his ultimate recovery, which
we trust may be fully realized.

Neck BrOken.-A most singular and fatal
accident occurred on last Wednesday, while
a number of men employed in Hefright's
quarry, near Warrior Ridge Station, were
coming to Huntingdon. A hand-car car
rying some ten or twelve men, was attach
ed by means of a wire, held by Mr.. Joseph
Shoemaker, of this place, to cattle train.
The wire was fastened around some portion
of the rear end of the car and the end
thrown over Mr. Shoemaker's arm. I'm
mediately preceding the accident the hand
car was running little faster than the
train and the wire was slack. The engineer
put on more steam and the train shot for
ward. Mr. Shoemaker was unprepared
for the sudden start, and was jerked from
his position the car turning complete
somersault upon the track, breaking his
neck and otherwise injuring him. He was
taken to his residence in West Huntingdon,
where he fingered from noon until about
half-past four o'clock. He was an ex-
cellent citizen, and leaves beloved wife
and numerous friends to mourn his untime-
ly end.--Huntingdon Journal.
