tUretl Hhursdav Morning.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal.
NEWARK, Nov. 12.-Edward Brown,
young lad about 16 years of age, met with
a serious and perhaps fatal accident this
morning. He was out shooting and while
walking along the tracks of the B. q P.
railroad he discharged his gun, which
was overloaded and burst.
A sharp fragment of the steel pene-
trated his skull between the eyes, pros
trating him on the track between two
lines of rails in an insensible condition.
He wac discovered by the crewof another
train, who reported the matter at the sta
tion and Brown was taken to the Balti-
more & Ohio station near by, where medi-
cal aid was summoned. The physician
pronounces his injuries as being very
serious, and is fearful lest they may re-
suit seriously.
