dendS in number, and of a larger average

sever per cent. Had these dividends been
used to purchase additions to this Policy,

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
One Man Killed and Two
Wounded.

In the western portion of the square
owned by DIR. +. Burke Haywood, on
Newbern Avenue, a colored laoorer
was on yesterday engaged in telling a
very large dead oak tree. Just as ne
had almost finished the work of cutting
il down, three colored men passed on
the sidewalk by the high board fence
which there bounds the lot. As they
neared the aver ne they were suddenly
shouted at by some laborers at work on
the street near by, who told them q
tree was falling. They at once ran, and
two escaped, but the unfortunate man
Dunston was instantly crushed to earth
by the falling oak. A branch OF some
6 inches diameter struck him on the
head, at the same time knocking him
into the ditch. The tree in its fall
broke down part of a stable on the lot
as well as several panels of the fence.
AS soon as possible the wounded man
was picked up and carried into the OIL
flee of DIR. Haywood, where in the alb
sence OF that gentleman, he was attend
ed by DR.. VIM. Little. The sufferer
vas entirely unconscious, the blow hav-
ing caused conclusion of the BRAIN.
VIM. Parker, the colored man who
felled the tree, says that it leaned IN
exactly the opposite direction from that
in which it fell, and that he also cut 1t in
such a manner as to throw it that way.
Just at the time it was tottering to Its
fall, a quick gust of wind through its
top caused it to lean the other way, and
thus carried it owe so as to crush the
building, the fence and the unfortunate
man, under its spreading top. He also
states that at the time of its falling, he
shouted in such a way as to warn per-
sons of the danger. The fence is high
and cannot be looked over.
Col. A. b. Andrews has had the
house formerly occupied by Maj. Nass,
moved to a position Just in front of the
Baptist School. The edifice is undergo
stories in height. The chimneys run
up through the centre Of the building
to a height Of over 40 feet. The ma
s )ns have been for some time engaged
at work on these, and on yesterday Mr..
Barlow, a young white man, was put
ting the finishing touches on the top of
one, when suddenly the masonry of the
chimney melted away from under him,
and he was instantly carried downward,
amidst the mass of bricks and mortar,
fragments of joists, sc. In the descent
he turned so that he struck head fore
most. The debris of the ruins almost
covered him. As soon as the victim
could be taken out from the rubbish, he
was carried to the office of DR.. VIM.
Little, who attended to his injuries.
These were found to be very severe.
The left side of his head and face
were terribly confused on his body
the skin was torn from his
left side, while his hip is
badly bruised. Both wrists are sprained.
