Fell from a Sleeper.

w. A. Collins, at one time editor of the
Pittsburg Chronicle, and later of the
Chronicle Telegraph, fell from a sleeper
while on his way from Hagerstown, Md.
to Seattle, Washington, on the Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway, on the 18th, and
fractured his skull, broke his nose and
injured himself internally. Mr.. Collins
at one time lived in Staunton for a short
time, and occupied the house formerly
the property of Geo. A. Armentrout, ad-
joining the residence of Y. M. Bickle,
Esq. He was eccentric and excitable,
and somewhat irregular in his habits,
which, no doubt, was the cause of the
accident to him. He had ON his person
certificate of deposit in a Hagerstown
bank for 81 5000, and other valuables.
