Samuel j. Penrose and family, of
Doylestown township, met with what
might have been serious accident on
Thursday night, at the Doylestown depot.
Mr.. Penrose was driving away from the
depot, and as it was very dark he drove
off of the end of the culvert south of the
tracks. The carriage was upset, but none
of the four occupants were hurt. THE
horse stopped as soon as spoken to.
Edward Norman, of Solebury, was
accidentally shot in the hand few days
ago. He had been out shooting birds
with small rifle and put the weapon
away without removing the cartridge.
He afterwards took out the gun, and had
his hand over the muzzlc when it acct
dentally discharged, the bullet passing en-
tirely through his left hand, fortunately
going between the bones near knuckle
joint. The wound was dressed by DR.. ].
b. Walter and it is now doing well.
On Thursday night, the watchman in
the Easton Jail heard suspicious noise in
the cell of w. H. Bartholomew, the muir
derer. Upon investigating he found Bar
tholcmcw's towel tied to the door and
the murderer was standing not far away,
frothing at the mouth and with tears
trickling down his face. The suspicion
Is that Bartholomew tried to strangle him
self, but found the towel too short. Bar
tholomew, however, says that he was un-
able to sleep and got up to wash his face
aud hands.
LOne. night recently, Harry Hilwick,
of New Gaena, accompanied by Doy-
lcstowpslady, drove to Chalfont, and after
spending tho evening at Mr.. Kellcr's,
started back toward Doylestown. H.
stead of crossing the bridge over the Ne
shaminy, the horse took the path over the
railroad, formerly public road through
Funk's Park, and horse, carriage and oc-
. cupants were dashed down high en-
bankment. Mr.. Hilwick escaped, but
the lady was quite seriously injured.
On Tuesday morning of last week,
the wagon and carriage mandatory oil

Hotel, on State street, Newtown, was dis

wheelwright and paint shops are tota

There was an insurance OF about $3.50
