While Engaged in Cleaning a Gun, a
Brother Kills Ills Sister.


A terrible tragedy occurred yesterday
land township, Pa. The victim was
Miss Jennie Viola Moyer, the l6-years-
old daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Meyer, Sr. The accident was caused by
the premature explosion Of q gun in the
hands of her brother, and which he
supposed was not loaded.
samuel Meyer, Jr, the brother Of the
dead girl, had been travelling about the
country with u caroussel during the
summer and only returned home Tues
day week. The family all reside in a
little white house belonging to the estate
Of the Thomas Brothers but which,
together with number Of others close
by, are occupied by the employees of
kersey Shoemaker.
When Samuel Moyer, Jr., had arisen
and partaken Of his breakfast he went
to the garret and procured an old muz-
zle-loading shotgun. This he took down
in the kitchen and commenced cleaning,
preparatory, as he states, to having il
repaired at the blacksmith shop. He
didn't know it was loaded. Jennie was
standing at table a few feet away from
where he had taken seat, and was
busily engaged in washing the break
fast dishes. The old gun was covered
with rust and Samuel accidentally
struck the trigger with his elbow, result
ing in the gun being discharged, the
entire charge taking effect in Jennie's
right ear. A large portion of her head
was blown off and pieces of her skull
and brain pasted on IL nearby wall and
over a portion of the ceiling. Miss
Meyer fell lifeless to the floor, and her
| life-blood had in few seconds almost
| entirely covered the same.
When her brother realized what he
had done he screamed at the top of his
voice. His mother and his sister, Mrs.
| Weller, had been engaged in washing in
an outer kitchen, and Immediately after
the explosion they rushed IN to see what
had occurred. They were terrified
upon observing the lifaless body Of
Jennie lying upon the floor, great por-
! tion of her head blown to atoms and her
body covered with blood
A few hours later an inquest was held
and a verdict of accidental death ren-
dered.
The scene at the house an hour after
| the accident occurred was sickening in
the extreme. Jennie's lifeless body,
covered with blood, was still lying
where it had fallen when the fatal shot
was fired. In her hand she held dish
cloth and on the table were lot Of
dishes, several of them broken, which
she had just been engaged in washing
previous to the accident. AS stated
above, portions of her brain and skull
were bespattered over the walls. After
the charge had passed through her head
it entered the wall alongside IL clock and
u portion of it also struck the clock, but
it never stopped ticking.
hetather,mother, sisters and brothers
of Jennie were almost distracted. The
brother who caused the accident was
lying with his head i'll his aged mothers
lap sobbing pitcously, while the father
ami sisters also cltthc sad death keenly.
| They could not be pacitled.
