On returning in the evening, when near home, Smith stood up in the buggy and looked I around to see if be could seethe steeple of the church in Upper Alton. His movement displaced the gun, i which was lying in front of him, on I the bed of the vehicle, and the piece flipped to the ground.

As It fell the hammer struck the wheel, discharging the gun, the whole load entering Smith's right arm, shattering It to pieces. Bra. Williams and Haskell were ealled to attend the wounded was engaged in repairing the gasom- eter at the residence of H. N. Kendall, and, at the time of the accident, was assisting some workmen to raisa some heavy weight to the roof of the building, by means of a chain and pulleys.

The chain suddenly broke, letting weight fall, and, in the rebound, it struck Mr. Johnson's right leg, producing a severe compound fracture. Drs. Williams and Joslin were called to his assistance and the fracture was reduced. Mr.

Johnson is now as comfortable as care and medical skill can render him. He will be removed to his residence in this city.
