Mr.. Paul Sullivan, of this place, met
with singular accident yesterday morn
ing. While kindling fire in his gro
cery, he was wounded in the forehead by
what is supposed to have been bullet.
It struck him between the eyes, and
passing upward under the skin, came
out short distance from where it had
entered. Mr.. Sullivan had no pistol
about him, and his position at the time
of the accident was such that he could
not have been hit by shot from the
street. No one seems to be able to sat
isfactorily solve the mystery. But ma
ny think that perhaps a pistol cartridge
might have been carelessly dropped into
the ashes, and that its explosion caused
the wound. We are glad to know that
Mr.. S. was not seriously hurt.

The MURDERRRs' CnuB.-The New
York Mnrderers' Club is nice institu-
tion. All tho murderers in the Tombs
belong to it. and all tho members are
bound to each other by the strongest
ties of friendship. The wealthy mur-
derers lavish their money on their poor
companions, and swear to stick to them
to the last. King, lawyer of fair rank,
il to bs put on trial, next week, for kill
ing O'Neill. The expenses of his trial,
estimated at $4,000, are to be paid by
Simmons, the millionaire lottery dealer,
bis companion in the Tombs, who ia
awaiting trial for the killing of Duryea,
rival ttery-dealer. King had some
wealth as business man in San Fran
cisco, but rs o lawyer in New York, he
could not mako ends meet, mainly be-
cause he spent too much time on tho
race.course, and on his committal to tho
city prison, his purse was empty. The
millionaire Simmons, whose act of ho-
mlcide was committed in the heat Of
ungovcrnnbie passion, naturally sympa-
thlzed with him from the moment of
his entrance into the Tombs. their
offences being in many respects alike.
Tho two have since had table in com.
mon, supplied from Mrs. Fosters ro.
staurant in tho Tombs. and, over the
champagne and cigars that Simmons
has ordered, they have spcculatcd upon
their chances OF acquittal. Scannol,
whose legal expenses nre to bo paid by
Stokes, will try to prove insanity from
the time Of his brothers murder; while
Sharkey, who was supplied with funds
Tor his defence by. Simmons, has gone
| to oarn some money for himself.
