SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
ne. William Channon thrown from
hls Buggy.

4 rumor was current about town this
morning, that Mr.. William Channoa was
thrown from his buggy and killed. We
are pleased to state however, that al
though this gentleman met with serious
accident, the injuries were not fatal, and il
is hoped that the case may assume DO
more serious features than at present,
Mr.. Channon, who is Master Carpenter OF
the Governme ut works on the Island, star
ted from home about fifteen minutes to
seven o'clock this morning to go to work.
He was in bis buggy. and was accompan-
led by Michael Corcoran who takes care of
the same. After they had crossed the
first bridge and were on the main road
before coming to the railroad bridge, the
horse from some unaccountable reason
took fright aud SHE'D, making a
quick turn off the road. Mr.. Cbaunon
who was driving was pitched mead first
over the dash board on to the ground, The
horse then turned back to the road
and ran with Corcoran, who
still kept In the buggy. holding
the left rein in his hand, the hines hav-
Jog broken-tiil they came to the Arsenal
building, when Corcoran jumped out aud
informed Mr.. Manly, the guard at the
bridge of the occurrence. They both went
back as quickly as possible to where Mr..
Channon was and found that two ladies
had come up to where he was and were
trying to arouse him. After a time Mr..
Channon regained consciousness and with
assistance was able to walk home. DR..
Barth was Immediately sent for and did
all that was requisite. When thrown out
Mr.. Channon lit on the back part of his
neck and shoulders, and then he turned on
his right side. 1t was feared some ribs
were broken but the examination did not
show such to be the case, though the
injuries are no doubt severe. Late this
afternoon Mr.. Channon was resting easy.
and had regained his reason which at first
was wandering. The horse after Corcoran
jumped out .coptinued right on till he came
to his stable on the Island. and the buggy
was uniDjured.
