SINGULAR And SAD ACCIDENT.

Probably Necessitate Amputation of His
Right Arm.
few minutes before 12 o'clock last night,
serious accident befel Mr.. George C. Collins,
compositor in the GLOBE office, which, it is
feared, will necessitate the amputation of his
right arm. 1t will be remembered by readers
OF the GLOBE that on Thursday night drunk
en- man stumbled into and broke plate glass
window on the Wabashaw street side of Lam
bic q Co.'s drug store. Only
small part of the lower section
OF the glass fell out, leaving
more than half of the glass remaining in the
sash. Instead of the open space being tightly
boarded, an abandoned sign about six feet
square was raised up to cover the aperture,
being supported in position by standard, the
foot OF which rested on the sidewalk, upon
which 1t projected nearly or quite two feet.
At the time stated above Mr. Collins and

rectly against it, giving the large sign, which
1t was supporting, sufficient Jar to break
large portion of the heavy plate glass still re-
naming in the frame, its weight precipitating
it to the walk with great force. In the fall a
large piece struck Mr.. Collins on the back of
the right wrist seyering several of the bones
and arteries

At the time the above was written DR..
Snyder had confined himself to stopping the

the hospital. After getting him
to the hospital sleep was induced
by the use of morphia, when
the doctor discovered confusion of his fore
head, which he says could not have been pro-
duced by the falling glass or fall upon the
sidewalk, but must have been by blow dealt
by some person. 1t also transpires that Mr..
Collins was not walking with single friend
but that there were half dozen of them in the
party, and while Officer Baer, who was in the
immediate vicinity, heard no angry words, it
is a fact that two or three of them run imme-
diately upou the injury to Collins. The wound
on the wrist shows that Collins' arm must
have been raised when struck by the glass,
and the theory of DIR. Snyder that he was
struck bp one OF the party, producing the
confusion on his forehead, and that be was

KILLED the Wrong Dog.
(St. Peter Tribune.1

Maj Randall was the possessor of dog
which he considered rather worthless he re-
quested his son to shoot her. When he made
the request there was but one dog on the
place of that kind, but at II o'clock the ex-
press brought a valuable one OF the same
kind from St. Paul, and the son not knowing
anything of the new arrival, and as the two
looked very much alike, the boy killad the
wrong one. The one killed was brought
from England, and the owner would not have
taken $500 for her. 1t was rather an unfor-
tunate affair, but the young man is not to
blame, as he did what most anyone would do

st. James Gazette says: "There is
every probability that the reigning favorite
for next years Derby will be colt of Ameri-
can origin, for Mr.. Lorillard's Gerald, who
ran second to Kermesse for the Middle Park
Plate yesterday, gives every promise of i'm
provement as he gets older, and will not have

from adding the greatest of two-year- old
