Fatal Accident,

About o'clock last evening James
Clinch, an employee at the Harlan &
HOllingsworth works met with an acci.
dent which caused his death in few
minutes. He was engaged at work in
the ship-yard and was standing on a
scaffold about fourteen feet high, when
he made misstep and fell to the ground,
striking on the back and top of his
head.
His fellow workmen hastened TO his
assistance, and by Mr.. Johnson's orders
carried him to one of the offices and
hurried for a physician. DIR. Isaiah
Lukens was brought to the place, but
the man was dead before he arrived,
having only lived about twelve minutes
after the fall. He was unconscious
when he was picked up and did not
speak after the accident.
An examination showed that his head
was badly cut and the physician gave
a certificate that his death was caused
by compression of the brain, and frac-
ture of the skull. Word was imme-
diately conveyed to his residence, No
702 Spruce street, and short time af-
terwards his remains were taken home.
The deceased was native Of Ireland +,
and was 56 years of age. He leaves q
wife and one son, a young man. He
was an honest, sober, industrious man,
and has been employed at Harlan &
HollinRswOrth' for number of years,
but had previously worked for the
Pusey & Jones Company.
After the accident Mr.. Johnson did
everything in his power for rhe unfortu.
nate man, and last evening after the
body was taken home was at the house,
rendering all the assistance possible.

The Celia Bush murder case has cre-
ated quite an excitement here, although
the bloody deed was committed some
eighteen miles distant. The deed was
done for money, and two colored men
have been charged with the crime,
namely Frederick Cephas, known more
commonly as "Bug" Cephas, and
Samuel McGlotten. Cephas is astrOngly
built negro, nearly six feet tall, very
black, with large lips, fiat nose, promi.
nent cheek bones, small, deep-set eyes
and receding forehead. His face is re-
pulsive and indicative of low, cunning,
brutal instincts. He is about thirty
five years old. A jury of inquest has
the case in hand, and circumstances
strongly indicate that the above are the
guilty parties. They have been arrested
and lod ged in jail and are extremely
guarded and adroit in answering ques-
tions. VIDI.
