Mrs. Mildred Noble, beloved wife OF
Mr.. d. S. Noble, died at her residence

years.
On Tuesday evening, the evening
preceding her twenty-tifth birthday,
Miss Jennie Hedges, daughter OF hr.
Anthony Hedges, died at the resi-
dence of her.grandmother, Mrs. Pylss,
on East Stephens street. She was
very popular young lady, and her
many friends deeply mourn her sad
death.
From the World:
Mr.. Andrew Sanders, Jr., living at
Dam No. 5, on the Potomac river
was accideL tally shot in the arm Mon
day. He had been out in boat after
ducks on the river, and on coming 10
land took the gun by the muzzIe aud
drew it from the boat. The hammer
caught on the side of the boat and the
gun was discharged the load Of shot
passing through the fleshy part of the
arm, decorating it very much, but
without injuring the bone.
On Saturday Mr.. William Payne,
son of Mr.. I. a. Payne, Of Hedges
vile, while riding on horseback had
his horse to shy and strike his leg VIC
lently against a fence, causing a com
pound fracture Of the limb. Dr. Nc
! Shorty was sent for Immediately and
found that amputation was necessa-
nv. and he peri ormed the operation
most successfully, amputatin: the
! limb above the knee. DR.. McSherry
was assisted in the operation by Drs.
Harris and Butler. The patient is
! doing remarkably well Young
Payne, some years ago, received an
injury in the same limb which made
him a cripple, and it is thought that
he will really be benefited by this
last accident 1t may prove TO be n
blessing in disguise, at least we hope
! so.
Dept. L. S. Marshal A. S. Garden
brought one Joseph Cambria, sec
ton boss of the railroad work now
in progress a Harper's Ferry, before
L. S. Commissioner a. G.. MAIDEN
bousch, last Saturday night, on an
indictment found in the United States
Court for selling beer without "A Ii
cense. The writ issued against Gam
bria, and Commissioner NadenbOusch
was obliged TO recognize the man to
appear before the next term Of the
court at Charleston 1t is hard case
that the accused should be dragged
off to Charleston to have his case set
tied, when a term of the same court
is to be held here on the 18th, just
eighteen miles from his home, at
which time and place the charge
could be investigated. This looks a
good deal like a job to increase fees.
4 most distressing accident occurred
at the farm OF Jordan Lewis, two
miles south of this place, about >
o'clock on Thursday afternoon OF last
week f. C. Markle's steam machine
was there engaged in threshing oats.
The feeder, Mr.. Pendleton Clark,
started to walk over the top of the
machine, for the purpose OF tighten
ing the belt. when he slipped and fell,
with one foot upon the cylinder, which
was running at high rate of speed.
! His shoe was instantly torn off and
his foot caught by the spikes. He
seized the feedingtable, which for
tunately gave way and thus threw
him partly out of the machine. Mr..
Markle, who was running the engine,
happened to see him fall, and imme-
diately shut off the steam. An exam
| nation showed that the left foot OF
the unfortunate man had been ground
to pieces and the leg halfway to the
knee torn into threads. Medical aid
was at once summoned, and Drs. Car
ter and Daniels were soon in attend
ance and did everything possible for
his relief He did not rally sufficient
" from the shock to have an opera
ton performed, and died the next
morning about o'clock. He was in
the 31st year of his age and leaves a
widow and four children. His re-
mains were inferred at Chestnut
Grove, Va, on Thursday.-Gadrds-
