Serious Accident,

On Saturday afternoon about 8 O'Clock,
quite all excitement was created in Mil
ford by the sudden and long-continued
blowing of the steam whistle at the Ameri-
can Basket Factory. The first impression
was that the building was on fire, and in a
few minutes crowd of people from all
parts of the town had assembled at it. The
cause of the alarm was soon discovered to
be other than fire. Steam is kept up on
Sundays for the factory for the purpose of
drying material, and the company had en-
ployed Mr.. Robert Frame for this duty.
He had gone to the factory alone, and while
in the act of procuring wood for the furnace,
in crossing pile of wet shavings his feet
slipped from under him and he fell upon
the floor with such violence as to dislocate
the femur or thigh bone. Frame lay in
great pain for some time, and the factory
being quite distance from any dwelling, .
despaired of making himself heard other
wise than by blowing the engine whistle.
With much difficulty he finally succeeded
in dragging himself within reach of the
valve rope, and blew a lusty alarm which
drew the crowd as above stated. A was on
was speedily procured and the disabled nan
conveyed to his residence. Drs Marshall
and Pratt were summoned and after some
difficulty and little delay succeeded in re-
ducing the dislocation, and the patient is
now doing well.

Tho Late Reyerdy johnson.

BALTIC, Feb. 11.-Mr. Kerr, son-in- law Of
Mr.. johnson, has telegraphed from Annapo-
lis to Mayor Latrobe, declining the offer of
a public funeral, which he had officially
rendered Both Houses of the Legislature
to-day, at Annapolis adjourned after passing
resolutions of respect. Several speeches
were also made.
The Court of Appeals, before which the
deceased was to have argued this morning
adjourned after speeches had been made by
the Judges and the counsel. Among the
latter an eloquent address was
made by s. Teackle Wallis, of Baltimore.
No inquest will be held over the body.
Rumors were circulated in Annapolis this
morning, that there had been foul play, but
there is not the slightest foundation for
them.
The cause of Mr.. Johnson's death was
purely accidental. A committee from the
City Councils will meet the body on its ar
rival at the Camden station this afternoon
with no doubt large concourse of people.
PHYSICIANS OPINION.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 11.-Dr. Lewis H.
Stuner, State Senator from Frederick coun-
ty, distinguished physician, and chief in
spector of the Sanisary Commission in the
ATuly VI UlC uul ouO AAeS wal
who examined the body shortly after it was
found, gives the following as his theory of
the cause of the death of Reverdy johnson:
Mr.. johnson either stumbled over piece
of coal, Or being seized with vertigo or in
cipient symptoms Of apoplexy, and striving
to save himself moved towards The West
staggering along the Northerly side of the
executive mansion, at each step gaining ad-
ditional momentum SO that, having reached
the door leading into the basement he
swayed around 70 the South and fell
striking his head against sharp
corner of the granite base course of the
house, which gave the first wound on the
head. Reaching the pavement, made Of
rough cohble stones, a second wound was
received in front of the first. At this instant
probably the bones of the nose were frac.
tured and one joint of the second finger o1
the right hand was dislocated, whether after
struggles account for the abraisons on the
kene and the fingers of the left hand, can.
not be positively asserted, although it is
probable that the wounds on the scalp were
accompanied with fractures of the external
bones on the Uranium. Possibly with them
also of the base, which must have been ac
companied with probable rupture of some
of the arteries at the base, death must have
resulted almost instantly.

A GENTLEMAN ROBBED OF $500.

A GENTLEMAN hOBbED OC S<V0.
Last evening Mr.. George Whitney, of
Boston arrived here on the 7:lO train from
New York, and proceeded to the depot
restaurant, where he procured some re.
freshments, which after eating and paying
for the same, he returned to the car, intend
ing to 20 on to Baltimore. He passed on
through the car to his seat, after his valise
for the purpose of taking it into the car
ahead; as he started to walk away gen.
tlemen who had occupied the seat behind
him asked him for light, which he
through the car. At the plat
form he was encountered by several
men who were standing there, and as he at
tempted to pass one of them attracted Lis
attention in some manner, but not enough
to excite suspicion. He succeeded in push
ing his way without much trouble by tie
crowd, and passed on into the car, but be-
fore he had taken seat he made the pain
full discovery that his pocket book, which
he had but little while before in the side
pocket of his coat, was missing. The train
was already moving off, but thinking til at
he had left itin the restaurant he jumped
off the car and went into the depot where
he made known his loss. No one, however,
had seen anything of his pocket-book, and
he at once came to the conclusion that it
was stolen. He Immediately telegrsphedto
New York of his misfortune, at the same
time Offering reward of $50 for the re-
covery of his money, and the apprehension
of the thief Mr.. Whitney is not positive
about the amount but thinks it is near $500,
and may be even more than that. He re-
mained in the city last night, but will leave
in the early train this morning for Wash
ington, for which place he was bound.
