ACCIDENT All FLUSHING.
Two Men Killed by a Falling
Derrick.

A very sad accident occurred in the eastern
approach to the tunnel On the c., T.. V. & w
railroad, at Flushing, on Wednesday, April
Sd. The iron which fastened one of the
braces to the top of the mast, broke and
threw the mast and the remaining brace into
the pit with great violence. The poles reach
ed to the Tar side of the cut, and fell just
where ten men were busily working. The
foreman and one of the men saw that the
timbers were falling, but they came with
such lightning speed that they did not have
time to give sufficient notice. Thomas DoOlan
and Thomas Egan were struck by the mast,
and Michael King by the brace. The accident
occurred about half-past three in the after
noon, and Doolan died about half-past four;
Egan died at half past ten the following night.
Thomas Doolan was man of about so years
of age, a little bent-shouldered, smooth
face, and very reclining forehead; his skull
was broken almost entirely across, and one
limb was broken. Thomas Egan was about
55 years old, five feet six inches in height,
had beard on his chin and was considerably
grey; his skull was injured but the doctors
thought he might haye recovered had his
back not been broken. Drs. Hobson, Web
ster, and Voorhies, did all in their spower t.
save the men, but all in vain. No one here
knows where these men came from. 1t is
thought that Doolan had no family, but it is
not known whether Egan was married man
or not. They both came to work when ii
first began, and remained till their death
The foreman advised Mr.. Keegan the evening
before the accident happened, to discharge
them as they were the Oldest men on the
work and were so crippled up with the rheu
matism as to be unable to perform efficient
service. Mr.. Keegan, through sympathy,
retained them as they had worked all the
win er and were willing to do the best they
could. They were buried in the Union
Cemetry on Thursday at three o'clock. The
Priest from Martinsville was present and con
Quoted the funeral services.
Michel King received severe injury on the
back of the head and number of bruises,
but.bids fair to recover. His home is about
ten miles north of Cadiz. The derrick had
been pulled down a number of times before
but all had escaped and no one thought ther
was any danger of it falling again. No blame
is attached to the contractor, foreman or any
one connected with the work, for mis-
management or carelessness. w.

Innocent Men i'm the Penifen.
ffSrY.

Some time last year two men, named Thos'
Stewart and Everett Hesketr, were bonvicted
and are now serving term of several years
in the Ohio Penitentiary, for the somewhat
notorious robbery of Jennie Archer, near
Cumberland, Guernsey county. Since their
conviction suspicion rested on two other no.
torious characters, whose names are Orange
Petty and Joseph ODell, who were arrested,
Friday, and taken to Cambridge where they
had 5 preliminary examination before Justice
Turner; the testimony was SO conclusive that
Joseph O'Dell confessed that he and Petty
were the guilt parties, and that the two men
who are now in the Penitentiary are entirely
innocent of the robbery.
