Injured In San Francisco.

News was received in this city few
days ago by the Misses Budd. nieces OF
Mrs. Georgia McVelgh Johnson. that she
had been knocked down and injured by
cable-car in San Francisco.
The details OF the accident were so
limited. both as TO circumstances and ex-
tent OF the Injuries, that her relatives
here were encouraged to hope that there
would be no serious results. but on Thurs
day the nleces were shocked to learn OF
the death Of their aunt.
Last evenings mail brought the harrow
ing details Of the accident as obtained
from san Francisco paper. which had
been sent to Mrs. Johnson's slsters-the
Misses McVeigh, OF Washington. ID. c.
one OF whom. IN o. letter to her nieces--
the Misses Budd. of this city-gives the
following account OF the distressing ac-
cdent:
Poor George was horribly mangled
about the face. hands, and wrist, besides
her right leg was broken. or course, she
must have been, A great sufferer for six
days when death came 10 her relief. The

Mrs. Johnson possessed very bright
intellect and cheerful disposition, which
endeared her TO many warm and devoted
friends.
In stature, she was above the average
OF her sex. but remarkably active IN her
movements. Her striking appearance,
coupled with her pleasing manner ar.
