Streer Car Accident

On Saturday morning about IL O'Clock, as
one OF the electric cars in charge of John N.
Opie, Jr., was returning from Plnnketts-
vile, Gunther Hoge, one of Mr.. John B.
Hoge's little boys, was riding pony down
street. The car would have passed the
pony, had there been no trouble. About the
residence of DR.. j. M. Hanger on Main
street. and just as the car came close behind
the pony, it became unmanagable and in its
plunging slipped and fell Immediately in
front OF the car throwing the little boy in
such way as that the car came within an
ace OF running over him. In the fall from
the pony, or by being struck by the car. the
little fellows thigh was broken near the
hip joint. He was carried into DR.. Hangers
Office and the extent of his injuries examin-
ed. 1t was found that he was not seeming
~ otherwise injured. Temporary splints
were placed on the limb and he was soon
moved to his home. He was cheerful and
stood the ordeal we'll, and at last accounts
was doing as we'll as could be expected.

Scared Away.

All the ladies are not towards, nor are

Greenville. Augusta county, who is living
with her sister, Mrs. Jno' W. Taliaferro,
went home from MI. Taliaterro's store
(where she is cierking.) Saturday night,
and after being in the house short while
she went out into the yard to get wood OF
coal and saw man leave the smoke house
Thinking be had not been seen, he crouched
down in the yard; Miss Grace Immediately
returned to the house and got revolver and
went forth; the thief on her return ran, but
she did not fail to send a bullet after him.

nerve and womanly courage, more than
many men would have ADMINISTRATIONS

Fatal Accident.

On last Friday about noon VIM. Roper, q
young man, who lived with his father Out
near the Federal Cemetery, was killed in
front of the White Star Mills on the G. & O.
track by freight train. 1t seems that
Young Roper was subject to epileptic fits
and it is supposed one was coming on him
at the moment he was killed. He was see n
on the track bending over as if looking for
something and as the train which was back.
ing slowly approached him he turned round
on the track. The brakeman on the rear
car called 70 him several times to look out,
but before it became known that he did not
hear the warning, the train was upon him
and four or five cars passed over him break
ing his neck and otherwise injuring, but not
dlshguring him. His leg was crushed
below the knee. He was dead before our
reporter reached the spot, and judging from
the evidences death must have been instan-
taneous. The coroner viewed the remains
and deemed an inquest unnecessary. The
remains were turned over to the undertaken
and cared for at the expense of the Railroad
Company.
