CRUSHED 70 DEATH.
A Sad Accident on the Island Ferry
Boat, Yesterday.
James McCourtney, a Son Of j. R.
McCoUrtney, Almost Instantly
Killed by the Turning Of the Rud-
der Post Of the Boat-A Verdict
of Accidental Death.

A very sad and fatal accident &C.
Cured on the Island ferry-boat
Charleston about a quarter past y
o'clock yesterday, which resulted in the
almost instant death of James Nc
Courtney. a son of Mr.. J. R. McCourt-
ney. of South Front street, Island.
The lad. who was about ten years
of age, went on board the boat about
noon. and went back to the stern with
another boy, a telegraph messenger.
Young McCoWtney, anxious to see the
wheel of the boat turning, put his heaA
through a hole near which the
rudder post passes. While looking
down at the wheel, the rudder was
swung over and the heavy post caught
the unfortunate boys head, crushing
it against the timbers, dislocating the
neck at the base of the brain and frac-
turing the skull. The fact Of the acct
dent was made known almost at once,
AMI Rev. Dr. Buckley and others, who
were on the boat eXtricated the I'M
fortunate victim, but although life was
not extinct, the boy expired almost i'm
mediately. DR.. McGrail was sent for,
and made an examination of the in
juries. and then the body was removed
to the ferry float on the Island side,
and thence was taken to the home OF
the family. Coroner Schultze was sum
moned, and after an inquiry into the
facts. and taking the testimony OF Rev.
DR.. Buckley, rendered a verdict Of ac-
cilental death.
The accident is a most deplorable ono
and the grief-stricken parents will
have the sincere sympathy of all in
their affection.
