Shocking and Fatal Accident.
A correspondent from Paris sends
US the following:
Mr.. jackson Carile, worthy
young man. belonging in Paris, this
county, has for nearly a year been en-
ployed in the coal business in Pitts
ton, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
On Friday, the 2Sth of February.
about one O'Clock P. NJ, having come
from his work to his boarding house
for dinner, in ascending the stairs
alone with his revolver in his hand. a
report of the revolver was heard by
Mr.. John Calkins, a cousin and COM
panion, who ran to him and found
him weltering in his gore, Mr., Calk-
ins placed him upon a bed, then went
few rods and summoned. a physi-
clan, but human aid was iInpotent .te'
save the unfortunate young Blan. AT
ter lingering about three hours, his
spirit took its flight to the unseen
world. The ball, lit was ascertained,
had entered the left temple, indica-
ting that the revolver must have been
held in his left hand, and it is supposed
that he must haye- slipped or made
misstep upon the stairs causing the
revolver to discharge, as he had not.
reached the top of the stairs, and the
cock of the revolver having marked
the stairs. No doubt the affair was
entirely accidental.
Mr.. Calkins Immediately procured
a suitable coffin and had the remains
placed therein. and on Sunday arrived
with them in Paris. Mr.. James Carr
lille, the father of the dcsceased, was
telegraphed from Michigan, and 9TH
er friends from Pennsylvania. His
funeral was attended on Wednesday
at the house of Mr.. John d. Calkins,
an uncle of the deceased. A very ap-
propriate and impressive DISCOURSE
was delivered by Elder Graham, OF
Newton Falls ;-after which a large
cortege followed the remains to the
Paris Cemetry, where they were ap-
propriately deposited in their last
resting place. The sad affair has cast
a gloom over the relatives of the.
young man and over our whole COM
munity which will not soon be Grade
Gated.

born in the township in February.
1910, and had resided in the place of
his nativity most of the time Till with
in a few months past. He was too
well known to the people of the conn

faithful citizen. He leaves widow
and five children-one son and four
daughters to cherish his memory.
His remains were brodght to Raven
ma on Tuesday afternoon. and his fu-
neral took place from the residence of

Uncle Jim's Christmas Day,

MIR. and Mrs. Albert Morrison at
1xl breakfast, formed very pretty and
interesting picture. The accessories, such
as furniture,a blazing fire in an open CRATE,
and choice engravings on tho walls, were,
to, say the least quite elegant, and sugges-
tive of ample means. Mr.. Morrison was
tall and muscular, but little too stout for
