Case-Pic-Nfe-Othe Items.
About 7:30 O'Clock yesterday after
noon Mr.. Ollie Moody, q fireman on the
Dsnville road, met with very serious
accident. While his engine was back
ing across the bridge towards Richmond,
pushing several cars before it, he was
standing on the rear part Of it trying to
oil certain parts Of the machinery.
While thus engaged he was either seized
with an epileptic tit or lost his foot
hold and fell on the track between
the rails, and was knocked insensible.
lie was taken up and brought to the
Manchester depot, where DR.. Edgar
Archer was called to render the neces-
sary medical aid. The unfortunate
man was placed on stretcher and car
lied to his home, on Seventh street be-
tween Stockton and Everett. A care
ful examination Of the body was made,
but no broken bones were found.
There seemed to be slight conclusion,
but later in the evening reaction seemed
to be taking place.
The store Of Mr.. j. r. Herndon, on
Hull street between Tenth and Eleventh,
was broken into by thieves Tuesday
night, who rifed the money-drawer
and carried off lot Of groceries and
some cigars. The entrance was made
from the rear by breaking q pane Of
glass. Yesterday morning there were
some empty cigar.boxes and other
things in the back yard. Mr.. Hern-
don cannot ascertain the extent Of his
loss. but it will not amount to very
much.
This morning at . o'clock is the time
to which the examination of Lewis
Kidd, charged with shooting Thomas
Callaghan with intent to kill, was con-
tinued. Callsghsn will not be able to
appear in court to-day, and the exam
ination will doubtless have to be again
continued. The motion for bail may
be renewed, and evidence bearing on
this point may be introduced. Gala
CHAN is doing as well as could be ex-
pected of a man so badly shot, and
with prudence be will probably
be able to be out in a short
time. lie was partially dressed,
and walked about in his room little
yesterday. The wound has commenced
to heal. and his articulation is greatly
improved.
The Sunday school Of the Central
Methodist church gave their annual pic
mic and excursion at West Point yes
terday. The weather in the early
morning was little threatening, but
before noon the clouds had all disap-
peared, and there has not been a
brighter, prettier day this year for
picnic. About 52j persons went, and
all returned in the afternoon much
pleased with their trip. There was not
a drawback or mishsp during the day
to mar the pleasure of the occasion.
City Sergeant Fitzgerald has notified
the Old Dominion Cotton-Mills that he
holds an execution against the company
for sS,879.23, growing out Of the suit
of R. L. Jones rs. The Old Dominion
CottOn-Mills, which was first tried in
the IIustiDgs Court Of Manchester Feb
ruary IL, 1884. 1t has been heard sew
eral times in this court, and was a few
days ago finally decided by the Sd
preme Court of Appeals. Jones was
injured while at work in the mill, hence
the suit.
The colored man named Henry Jones,
who was before the Mayors Court
Tuesday morning, charged with being
drunk and disorderly, is not Henry
Jones, the tailor.
