was in his 92d year, and, until within

city. He was well known and very
highly esteemed.
SHORTLY after midnight, one night

the roof of his boarding house in De-
troit for the purpose of enjoying the
breeze before he went to bed. While

off to the ground below, distance Of
forty feet, breaking three ribs, which
penetrated the lungs, and receiving
other injuries which caused death in an
hour. Evans was perfectly conscious
when picked up by the inmates of the
house, who were aroused by his fall,
and detailed all the circumstances CO.
herent'y. Aged 40, and for years was
employed as salesman in leading dry

A DISTRESSING accident occurred at
the farm of Ira Chapman, about three
miles southwest of Utica. few days
ago. A large number of men had con-
gregated at that place for the purpose
of raising the frame for new barn of
immense size. They had one bent in
place, and were just raising the
second, when the lower part of it
slipped from the notches and the whole
fell with crushing force. Luckily the
greater portion of the men were in a
position to see the state of affairs when
the bent slipped, and they readily
jumped out from under the falling tim
bers. Five men, however, were not so
fortunate, and were more or less seri-
ously injured. The accident occurred
at a most unfavorable time, as the whole
medical fraternity of the village were in
attendance at the medical convention
held at Rochester. A telegram was dis
patched thither, and two doctors were
on the ground in couple of hours.
