SAD ACCIDENT Baltimore hundred, Sus-
sex county, last week, Mr. Ezekiel G. Williams
was killed in very singular manner. He
was sitting at the counter Of his store writing,
little thinking Of danger, and pistol being
near, exploded, sending ball through his
heart, killing him instantly. No one had
hold Of the weapon at the time Of the explo-
sion, and the supposition is that the pistol was
left cooked, and that jar caused it to fire. Mr..
Williams was highly respected citizen, and
had, at the late session Of the Levy Court,
been appointed Trustee Of the Poor from Bal
timore hundred. The Coroner held an inquest
over the body, and the verdict Of the jury
was, accidental shooting"
