wEsToN's NEWARK TRAMP.

Over Half His WOrk Done in Three
Days-Thirty Miles Ahead OF His New
York Time.
At q quarter to nve O'Clock yesterday morning,
AFTER . rest OF iour hours and haif Weston
started on the third 6ay OF his 500 mile tramp ut
the RINK In Newark. He was In good spirits and
good condition physically. When he stopped at
eleven minutes past twelve, on the completion OF
MS second day, he had then finished 100 miles.
During yesterday forenoon he walked with step
quite as elastic as shown the rst day, and while
making good time, seemed to make no special effort
to indulge IN "spurts.r HERETOFORE, according TO
his attending physician, Weston has never walked
over nfty miles without raising water bistere on
the soes OF his feet; but this time. thus far, hts
ieet have continued entirely free Of these annoy
ting tmpedments to progress. At noon time the
pedestrian took rest OF IS mn IS aec., and was
then twenty.seven miles ahead Of the time he
made In New York. In other words, at the time
: he had made his lo8th mile In New York he had
made In Newark 225. Throughout the alter
noon and evening he kept up q good gait,
making some q hts miles in IRON eleven to
this report that when he stopped for his long rest
at midnight tnat ne would have completed in the
three days 270 miles He and his attendants declare
themselves contdent he will succeed this time.
Thus far the attendance OF citizens has been
meagre In the extreme, although the Rink Is
pleasantly III up and heated II Is the general i'm
pression though, that Weston's people made
great mistake tD placing the entrance tarin 30

FATAL AoOIDENT'-On Friday last
Messrs. Louis A. Brady and w. S.
Robinson, both young men of this place,
took their guns and went to the woods
east of town to hunt. In the vicinity
of Geer's school house, they sat down
on log to rest and eat some chestnuts
Mr.. Brandy getting up and starting
first, had not proceeded far when he
heard the report OF Robinsons gun
and turning round saw him still setting
on the log in reclining position. He
turned about and went to him. when he
discovered that he was shot, and quite
insensible. Two little girls were near
gathering chestnuts, and he called them
10 him, and soon two women also came
up, when Mr.. b. LETT the injured man
with them and hurried to neighbors to
send word to his friends and summon a
physician. He lived about two hours
after the accident, his brother Albert
being able fo reach him before his
death. 1t appears that in raising his
gun before starting the hammer struck
on the log, exploding the cap, the en-
tire charge of shot entering his head
above the right eye, inficting terrible
wound. His body was brought home,
and from thence was followed to his
grave at Troy on Sunday morning, by
one of the largest funerals that we have
witnessed in Brookville.
Mr.. Robinson was an estiuab!e
young man, and his sudden death is q
great sorrow to his bereaved broth ers
and sisters.-Brookvi1ie Republican.
