INJURED BY A FALLING TREE.
Mark johnson seriously Hurt Near
Falls Church, ya.

News of a serious accident reached this
city from Fails Church, Va, last night,
and as a result of which Mark Johnson.
son of Benjamin Johnson, a prominent
farmer of Alexandria County, now lies at
his home with his eyesight almost de
stroyed both ankles broken, and his
head and body badly crushed. AS near as
could be learned last night, the accident
occurred the latter part of last week. The
injured lad. accompanied by a friend, was
driving down the Georgetown and Lees
burg Pike near a locality known as
Ghosts Hollow" on their way into this
city, when a huge chestnut tree, which
was being cut down by Charles Dade,
broke off and rolling down the steep sides
of an embankment struck the vehicle in
which the youngsters were seated, over
turning it and throwing both boys to the
ground.
The trunk of the tree struck Johnson
across the body and pinned him to the
ground. With the aid of passing farmers,
the tree was removed from the lads body
he was placed in a carriage, and driven
RAPIDLY back to the home Of his father, In
Falls Church, where medical aid was
summoned.
A curious feature Of the affair~is that
well known residents of Falls Church al
lege that young johnson is the third per-
son who has been more or less seriously
injured by the coiored man while cutting
trees down to make rail fences. 1t is said
that owing to Dades old age it is iznpos-
sible for him to see well. and that it is
his custom to climb up one of the steep
embankments in the vicinity and after
selecting q tree chop it down, letting II
roll down the slope into the road, ana ire
quently passersby have narrowly escaped
being crushed to death
The accident to young Johnson also
brings forth an unusually sad and pa
thetic state of affairs in the boy FANNY
