Itlown A very serious accident occurrcit at Flanagan's limestone quarry, below Shepherd stown, on Thursday morning of last week. Messrs. John J.

Flanagan and Albert Grim were in a blacksmith shop completing a piece of work. There was also a keg and a half of blasting powder In the shop, and a spark flying into it caused it to explode with serious results to both men. Mr. Flanagan was badly burned about the hands and body, and his head and face were also scorched and blistered, though fortunately his eyes were not injured. His clothing was set on lire, but he staggered out of the shop and a man extinguished the fire.

Mr. Flanagan's hands were so badly burned that the flesh dropped from them. Though suffering greatly, he will recover. Mr. Grim received probably greater injury than Mr.

Flanagan. His hands and face were shockingly burned, and the hair is burned off his head. We aro formed that his brain is affected, and there are fears that he will not recover. He is I a resident of Maryland. Dr.

I. S. Tanner was called in and gave surgical aid to the uufortunatc men. Chcwpcake and Ohio The monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was held in Baltimore last Thursday. The resignation of Mr.

Benjamin Fawcett, of Montgomery county, clerk and treasurer, who has been connected with the canal for about twelve years, was presented, and also the resignation of Mr. George Smith, of Howard county, engineer. These were accepted, to take effect Oct. 1st. Mr.

Stephen Gambrill, general su! perintendent and paymaster, will succeed Mr. Fawcett as clerk and treasurer, and will continue also as paymaster. The salary is $2,100. President Smith will take upon himself the duties of general superintendent without additional pa)- to his $3,000 salary. The position of engineer was abolished.

The salary of general superintendent, $2,000, and of the engineer, who had $900, are cut off the expense accounts by the new arrangement. The working force of tlio canal has been reduced more than one-half under the order of tha board to that end, which went into effect July 1, and all salaries above $900 have been reduced 20 per cent or more. It 1 was stated that the force is now as small as it is practicable to have it and operate the canal at all, but the condition of the business makes this retrenchment neonsI sary. The canal is in good working order I and coal shipments are increasing. I Homicide in llascratown.

On Jonathan street, Ilagerstown, last Saturi day night about half-past 11 o'clock Albert Fahrney, of that place, was stabbed to death, as it is alleged, by Geo. F. Winters, who resides near Cavetown, in Washington county. A few minutes before the occurrence young Fahrney, accompanied by Jacob Iluyctt, stepped into Leudweig's saloon, ou Jonathan street, and ordered beer for himself and his companion. They drank without having any conversation with anyone in the saloon, and immediately left the place.

Just they readied the outside, Winters came from the saloon and grabbed lluyett's hand, saying as lie did so, "IIow are you, Jake?" Huyett at unco felt his hand was cut, and drew it from Winters' grasp, crying out: "Why, you'va got razor; you've Cllt inc." Fahrney hearing lluyett's exclamation rushed at Winters and said: "You you've cut my friend," and began striking and kicking at Winters, who slowly backed down the street, followed by Fahrney. They had proceeded as far as Mrs. Gray's residence, which is about sixty feet front the saloon, when, it is alleged, Winters made a sudden lunge at Fahrney, who "I am cut," and.lmmei diately stumbled over the pjrch ami fell on the pavement. Winters ac once huri ried towards the saloon, where lie grabbed his hat from a colored man, who had picked it up from the pavement, and then ran to the Hoover House, where lie had a horse and buggy stabled for the evening. lie met a friend at the hotel who waa waiting to accompany him home, and together they followed the hostler to the I stable.

While the horse was being hitchj ed up, Winters, who was very much in; toxieated, drew out a knife and began flourishing it around, and said: "I just had a fuss, and drove this into a fellow until I heard the bones crack, and the sat down pretty quick on the paveI ment." This occurred shortly before 12 o'clock, and Winders showed no haste in starting for home. The affray had not occupied live min! utes from the time Fahrney stepped up to Winters until the cutting occurred. Fahrney was lying on his face when picked up, and was immediately carried to the jail I residence, which is about seventy-five yards from the scene of the cutting, and expired soon after his removal there. 'Squire Cook at once summoned a coroner's jury. Dr.

Edward Ware hum made an examination of the body, ami discovered that the cut was located about four inches the lett nipple, and that the knife had been driven through the lapel of the coat and the vest, and through the second rib down into the heart. Fahrney only lived about twenty minutes after he 1 was cut, and the only word? he uttered were those which immediately followed the cutting. The coroner's jury were in session until 3.30 o'clock Sunday morning, and because of the uncertain evidence which they heard up to that time, they returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a stab l'rotn a party unknown. Monday, however, the additional evidence of the hostler at the hotel was received, and this evidence, together with other circumstances, has led the public to believe that Winters is the guilty party. Albert Fahrney, the deceased was about tweuty-five years of age, and leaves a wife and one ehild.

He was the son of John Fahrney, the custodian of Kose Hill Cemi lery, Ilagerstown. George Winters, the accused, is about thirty years of age and unmarried, and rcrides with his father, Jos. Winters, on his farm near Cavetown. i Winters was arrested and committed to jail ou Monday. I ard The ladies of the PresJ by Church of Harper's Ferry will a lawn festival in Mr.

Mr. Walters has a live foot vein, and the last assay showed three hundred dollars' worth of silver, and eleven dollars worth of lead to the i ton. Bartlett's mine assays one hundred and seventy dollars. The Widow Pool, of Buck Run, in having a well excavated on her place found a lump ol silver that weighed eleven pounds, which slto sold for it being nearly pure. A Simple Fly A writer In an English magazine, describing tho reptiles and insects which infest India and mako life miserable there, tells of the following simple way in which the inhabitants rid themselves of the ordinary house fly, which is there, in proportion to this country, in a ratio of 1,000 to 1.

Water is poured into a bottle to the depth of an inch or two, and floated over with a little oil. The inside of the mouth is then moistened with some syrup or preserves, and the bottle placed at the disposal of the flies. These keep clustering over the mouth and dropping in, each fly, the moment it I touches the oil, sinking through and getting drowned; and as the flies accumulate the water keeps rising till tho bottile may become filled with them nearly to tho neck. A Hold Tranwuction. Last Friday, two colored men, driving thirty-three lie.nl of sheep, applied to the ferryman at Williamsport for transportation across the Potomac from tiie Virginia side.

Being without tlio means to pay for their passage they contracted to give the ferryman one of the sheep to ho landed "safely on the other shore." The bargain was fulfilled, and the colored men drove their dock away. They next appeared before Messrs. C. A. Potts and William Kemp, Williamsport District, and striking upon terms, sold the sheep to these gentlemen, receiving in exchange the ready cash.

This was tho last thought of the matter i until later in the day, when four men from West Virginia, representing a local vigilance committee, arrived at Williamsport and stated that they wore in search of these sheep, that had been stolen from the I'orterfield farm, a few miles from that place, in Berkeley county. Theyexperienced no difficulty in tracing and claiming the stolen propert)-. It that the colored men had taken tho sheep I from the field during the previous night and by a series of adroit manteuvers succeeded in directing the pursuers in an opposite direction, toward the mountain skirting the western part of the While search was being made for the stolen property, it was being disposed of to Messrs. Potts and Kemp, as stated, who made the purchase without suspecting any irregularity in the transaction. The colored men were traced to Ilngerstown, and from there into Pennsylvania, but, so far as heard, they have succeeded in avoidj ing arrest.

The transaction is regarded as one of fie boldest on record in that Ilagrrslomi Globe. A terrible tragedy occurred in Coryell county, Texas, recently. A young man named Graham was stabbed fatally by a i companion. The father of Graham met i his son's assassin in company with the latter's father at young Graham's grave, i Angry words passed, leading to a ate battle, resulting in the death of both fathers at the hands of the young assassin.
