A YOUNG DESPERATE.

There was family disturbance in the Eastward
near the Myers Mill On last Saturday that came
near closing in the commission of matriCide.-
Young Tom Welch, aged fourteen years, whose
name is to be found frequently on the Mayors
docket and who has been proven clearly incor.
rgibe boy, in little quarrel on last Saturday was
reprimanded by his mother, when he flew into one
'of hispassions, and seizng stone nearly as large
as mans fist, hurled 1t with all his might ut his
parent striking her on the head just above the ear
She fell to the ground like dead person, and was
soon carried into the house, where she remained
in critical condition over Sunday and Monday
her life was given up for q time, but she finally
showed symptoms of recovery, and will probably
get well. On Sunday the police went down to the
to arrest the boy, but he saw them coming and
ran to the creek, wnere he jumped in and swan
across, the police not wishing to indulgein cold
bath on such disagreeable day were compelled
to give up the pursuit Something should be done
with this dangerous character, as 1t has not been
| ong since he broke the doors Of the house with
hatchet and threatened to kill his mother.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

On last Monday morning an accident occurred
at the safe works of Diebold, Norris & Co. which
will prove fatal to Peter Stutzmann, ayoung man
employed in the establishment In the new addi
ton to their works there is suspended apparatus
for moving heavy safes; this apparatus consists of
a track next to the roof from which is suspended
a cart which moves on the track from the cart are
ropes and tackle which are attached to the safe be-
low; at the time OF the accident but 50pounds were
attached to this apparatus which has been used in
moving as nigh as 1900 pounds On Monday aymorn'
ing while the hands were busy at their work, some
of them under this suspended car, withoutan ap-
parent warning it sprung from its fastenings and
fell to the floor, striking stutSmann on the head
Just below and back of the crown, fracturi his
skull; another man was struck on the arm but not
seriously injured; the wounded man wasremoved
to his boarding house where his wounds were
dressed by Drs Portman and Whiting, who pro.
nounced the injuries necessarily fatal. The cause
of the falling is a mystery, but some of the WORK
men are inclined to think that the heavy winds OF
last Thursday might have shaken the building
enough to have rendered the iastenings of the ma
chine insecure.
