so much SO that he has not yet recover
ed from its effect. The escape of the doc
tors friend from death is the more re-
markable, as Mr.. Whitekettle says he
never knew the pistol to miss fire before
and, that it should then miss several
times in succession seemed like special
interposition of Providence. 1t is an
other instance proving the danger of
pointing gun or a pistol at person.

lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week
On Saturday morning frightful run
away occurred, the results of which are
as yet in doubt, Mr.. VIM. Mccoy, re-
siding out the Baltimore pike, was re-
turning from market with his wife, when
the horse frightened and ran away,

it is feared severely injured internally,
while his wife had an arm broken in two
places.
On Sunday afternoon, last week,
destructive hail storm passed along the
southern side of the county, from Mt.
Holly eastward. At Churchtown thou
sands of panes of window glass were
broken, at Boiling Springs the railroad
station was wrecked and a Mt. Holly
stable was wrecked by the storm. Hail
stones an inch and a half in diameter
were numerous and all sizes fell in great
profusion. Great destruction to fruit,
ETC., was necessary adjunct of the
storm.
On Thursday evening about dusk, as
w. p. Anthony, of Chambersburg, was
driving along the Quincy road, he was
accosted by tramp who asked to be
taken in. Mr.. Anthony refused him,
when with an oath the tramp seized the
horses bride and declared he would get
in. Mr.. Anthony drew revolver and
fired on him, the horse frightening and
springing forward so that the wheel
struck the tramp and knocked him
down. The tramp raised himself and
fired at Mr.. Anthony, but the latter
hurried out of his reach.
Last week white girl named Lizzie
Garrison, thirteen years old, who had
been brought from the Home of the
Friendless, Harrisburg, and was in the
employ of j. w. Rosler, at Carlisle, ran
off from her employer, taking hun
dred dollars worth of jewelry and some
clothing. Subsequently the police
found her concealed in the house of a
colored woman in Carlisle, and three
darks were arrested as accessories. The
girl stated that when concealed under
the bed at the woman's house, burly
negro named Fisher committed an out
rage upon her person. Fisher is one of
the three negroes now In Jail.
Edward Koser, fourteen-year old
son of VIM. Koser, of Frankford twp,
was seriously hurt in runaway acci-
dent at Carlisle Tuesday morning. His
horse frightened at a baby carriage and
ran, and the boy, to save himself as he
thought, jumped from the wagon, and
in doing so fell violently to the ground,
breaking his right leg above the ankle,
lacerating the cap of the knee of the
same limb and severely injuring HIM
self in the groin. He was carried to the
st. Clair house, and Drs. Zeigler and

On Thursday afternoon of last week

the knee and ankle. The wagon was a
three-inch tread and loaded with over
three tons of coal. Strange to say Mr..
Hurley was only temporarily stunned
by the fall and not bone of either of
his legs was broken. DIR. James B.
Marshall, of Shippensburg, attended
him and rendered such surgical assist
ance as was necessary. How Mr.. H.,
managed to make his escape from a
broken leg is what every one wonders
who hears of the accident.
