A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mr.. George ". ShaFsr Falls Throug
q Stone Roof.

=
Mr.. George W. Sha1er met with a
serious and painful accident about 5
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The extent
Of his injuries has not yet been deter
mined, but it is possible they may prove
fatal
air. Shafer. who boards with Mrs. E.
F. Bryan, in the old Savage house. at
Barnard and Hull streets, was standing
on little stone veranda, at the hight of
the second story, on the Hull street side
OF the house. yesterday afternoon, en-
gagged in splitting q lJtle Eindling wood,
more for pastime than anything else.
The stone, or rather brick and mortar,
forms roof TO another veranda on the
story below. which is near the street. The
portion Of the prick on which Mr.. Shaffer
was standing gave way with him, falling
TO the veranda below, and forming a
large hole. through which Mr. Shaffer
fell. He fell from . hight of about
twelve or fifteen feet, striking against
the stone and brick below. In falling the
stone struck the heavy Venetian blinds
in front OF the door on the first story,
looking upon the yeranda. and breaking
them from their hinges in such manner
that they fell he0 gily upon him.
Two gentlemen who were passing at the
time Jumped over the railing and picked
the wounded man up from under the
blinds and bits Of stone that were con-
stantly falling upon him. He was car
rled IN and placed upon a sofa, where he
lay unconscious for about half an hour.
Miss Dollie Thompson and Mrs. Cope,
cousins of the in urod man, were
sent for, but when he recovered
consciousness he didn't seem to
want to see them and protested against
having any medical attention. DR.. Harris
was sent for, however, in spite of his pro-
tests, and did what be could to relieve
his su1erings.
Phe blinds in falling struck him upon
the head and shoulders, bruising him
badly and causing the blood to flow
freely. He was also SCARED and scratched
on the forehead and face by pieces of fall
ing stone. He has suffered very much,
and it is thought that he may be injured
internally, though this has not yet been
determined. MIR. Shafer is quite an old
man, being about 20, and the fall was
quite shock to him. He was formerly
connected with the Central railroad. but
for several years has lived upon the income
from his property, of which he owns
quite good deal in different parts of the
city. He has lived pretty much to him
self and at times amuses himself by
splitting kindling wood, sometimes get
ting up in the middle of the night TO cut
away at a block of wood on account of
being unable to sleep. This habit of
splitting wood was probably the indirect
cause Of the accident. The roofing of the
veranda has been in a dangerous cUNdi-
ton for some time. MIR Shaifer was
resting easy last night, and his recovery
is hoped for.

STOLE FROM UNCLE SAM.
The Robbery of a Range Light Oil
House Being Investigated.


House Being Investigated.
Last October the OIL house at the Fort
jackson range lights was robbed of con-
siderable property belonging to the
United States. At the same time the
thief carried of shot gun, sail and some
other articles belonging to the keeper
of the light.
The government offered a reward of
$500 for the apprehension and conviction
of the thief, and last week Capt Thomas
II. Laird. Jr., discovered the stolen sail
in the possession of Moses Barn
Chatham Club house, at Tybee, and
CAUSED his arrest by Detective Bossell.
Baruwell gave a straightforward expla-
nation of his possession of the property,
having borrowed IL from a colored fisher
man named Henry Green, who was also
arrested by Oficer Bossen
United States Commissioner Isaac
Beckett issued a warrant for the two
prisoners, who were confined in the police
barracks, and they were before him yes
terday for examination. The evil
dence clearly exonerated Barnwell
from completely in the theft, and
fixed it pretty clearly upon Green. The
commissioner. at Green's request, Contin-
ued the hearing until this morning, when
another negro, named Williams, will be
produced.
Green claims that the sail was given
him by the other negro, and the postpone
ment was had for the purpose of ties ing
the truth of the statement Commits
sioner Beckett is disposed to give him
every opportunity to prove his innocence,
but appearances just now are decidedly
against him, and unless Green shows
that he came into possession of the stolen
articles innocently it will doubtless go
hard with him.

What Fashion Has Decreed Is the
Correct Style for the Season

To be properly dressed is oftentimes an
open letter of recommendation, or, as
Poionius puts it to his son. Laertes, who
is about to leave Denmark for fashionable
Farls. "the apparel oft proclaims the
man." AS the society gentleman always
wants to be proclaimed the correct sort of
man. he feels as strongly as his sister
does that ito be out of fashion is to be out
OF the world"; therefore. he is anxious to
wear the correct thing in the correct way,
and to do so, and keep in line with the
prevailing style, that is constantly on the
change, requires some attention, unless
the matter is let out to the valet, or to the
tailor, shoemaker and haberdasher.

From staunton Daily News, Feb 81, 1891.
A telegram yesterday announced the
sudden death in Newport News of Dr.
Thos. H. Kinney, a former resident of

physician. Further particulars were got
ten on the arrival of the 6:45 p. m. west
bound G. & 0. train, which brought the
remains, under the charge of Maj M. D..
Whitcomb, of Richmond.
DR.. Kinney had been called out Sun

thoroughly chilled. and while he warmed
himself before the fire, before examining
the patient, his head was observed to
drop suddenly to one side, and upon ex-
animation it was found that he was dead
The doctor was SO years old. He was the
son of the late Jefferson Kinney, who
was for long time clerk of the Augusta
