BAD AccIDENT.-Wm. Carpenter, of
Middleport, Ohio, who was in charge OF
the cannon here during the Reunion,
met with an accident Friday evening,
that will probably prove fatal. He had
the cannon hauled down to the wharf
and was waiting fof boat, when lie
concluded to give couple of farewell
shots. lie was doing the firing without
an assistant and the last shot was made
without swabbimg the gun, and it is due
to this fact that the cannon exploded
prematurely. His left arm was horribly
mangled, being broken in two places,
and the flesh all peeled off to the bon2.
His wounds were nicely dressed by Drs.
Barbee, Mossnan and Campbell, and he
was taken to the train and sent to his
home.
