1t Was An Accident.

Al investigation Of the death of Joseph
Pounds, who, It will be remembered, was
found dead few days ago near ConowiDgo,
was made by Sheriff Connolly and acting States
Attorney Crothers, last week, resulting in the
conclusion that death was accidental, there
being no evidence of any crime connected
with the case. He was found lying along the
line of the Columbia and Port Deposit Rail-
road, with deep cash upon his head, and
died without regaining consciousness. A
strange feature Of the matter seems to be that
while he was evidently struck by train which
had passed shortly before he was found, none
Of the trainmen recollected having seen him.
