LAST EVENING. l Local Freight Train Rons Over Him at the Top Mill and Severs His Right Arm from His Body. • Misfortunes in the shape of accidents to esidents of this city and vicinity are fol owing each other thick aud fast. Scarcely , day passes here of late that some one, »ell- mown to his fellow-citizens and re peated and esteemed by all, is not snd lenly brought lace to face with disaster, md either left a corpse or mangled and naimed to a degree only less terrible than leath itself. Yesterday was a day unns jally prolific of these sad occnrrences. The atest of the series of accidents we chronicle ,his morning, while it did not result in the leath of the victim, nevertheless was so lerions in its nature, and the injury inflict rd was upon one whose name is so familiar, hat universal sorrow was expressed upou he fact becoming known last night. About half-past five o'clock yesterday ifternoon, Mr. K. (i. Barr left the Court ionse, where he had been engaged during he afternoon in arguing a case before Fudge Jacob, and walked to the upper end »f Main street, his intention being to con iuueon past the Top mill, where his wife rould meet hin» with a carriage and then Irive on up to the family residence, some hree or four miles above the city. Readi ng the end of the sidewalk on Main treet, Mr. Barr crossed over to the track >t the "Pewiky" railroad, so as to have be advautage of better walking, and con inued upon his way. Wheu he hat! eached a point about opposite the landing if the Martin's Ferry ferry-boat he was truck by the engine of the local freight on be road, bound up the river, and knock«! lowo. The wheels of the engine passed >ver his right mm, severing it entirely from he body, about two inches below the boulder, aud the clothing of the victim •eeomiug entangled in the machinery, he vas dragged for some little distance, with he result of tearing his overcoat ami coat >adly, aud intlictiug several cuts and »ruises about the head, the most serious >f which is just above the right eye. The engineer of the train, Johu Young, aw Mr. Barr some time before he was cached, and apparently did all that was tossible to avert the accident, as steam vas shut off, the engine reversed, and both he bell and whistle sounded. Mr. Barr, eemed to be absorbed in thought, aud was iblivions to all about him. and before the uomentum of the train could be checked le was struck. As soon as possible the train was cheeked ip, anil the crew went l»ack to where the vonnded man lay, placed him upon ^ a lustily improvised litter, aud carried him o the Hospital, where he was made as omlortable as circumstances would ad uit. while telephone messages were sent >ut to I)r. Belleville, Dr. Frissell, I)r. îates, and other physicians to come at nice, 'ihese physicians, and several »tilers, responded, and by halt past seven »'clock the patient had rallied somewhat, egaiued consciousness, auil was able to on verse, in a disjointe«! and fragmentary »ay, with his wife, who had early l»eeu id vised of the mi-hap, and who had eached the Hospital soon after her hus tand had been brought in. The physicians in attendance lo^t no ime in administering stimulants to the »tient, ligaturai the broken arteries of be arm, and at 11 o'clock last night Mr. Sarr was sleeping quietly. with no uuta .orable symptoms as yet apparent. The •ijjht arm was crushed entirely ort by the ivheel of the engine, and was carried down othe Hospital after Mr. l'»arr had been einoved there by the train men. To Mr. J. C. Barr, his brother, the jki iient, aUuit « o'clock, said that he had no dea how the accident occurred. He said ie had had a warm argument with agen lemau, and was deeply engrossed intliink ng over it when he stepped upon the [rack, but beyond that he knew nothing. Following is an abstract of the official eport of the engineer and conductor of ihe local train : "No. 70 train; east bound; engine Ko. if».—Was coming out of Wheeling on No. io.

A Peculiarly Sad and Distressing Accident That Destroys the Happiness of a Family— The Particulars of the Atfair. An exceedingly sad accident occurred, yesterday afternoon, which resulted in the terrible death of Frank, a thirteen-year old son of George Hibberd, the Market street plumber, who resides at 193 Four teenth street. About 1 o'clock the sharp report of a revolver rang out from an upper story in the residence and startled the neighbors as well as the members of the family, who were home at the time. When the latter ran up stairs a horrible sight met their gaze. Frank was lying upon the floor with blood gushing trom a wcund in the side of his head, and in the convulsions of death. The family was horror-stricken but they attempted to make the unfortunate boy as comfortable as possible. The family phy sician, Dr. Will Bates, was telephoned for, but he not being at home Dr. Dickey was called and arrived in a very short time afterwards. He found the boy still lying upon the floor, and one of his older brothers attempting to stop the flow of blood. Upon exanination he found a bul let hole through the boy's head, the en trance being just behind the right ear and the exit at a corresponding point ou the left side. The brain was protruding at tbe time and it was necessary to keep a damp cloth against the wound the whole time to prevent the flow of blood aud the brain from oozing out. About tifteen minutes later Dr. Rites arrived, and the two physicians, although they knew that the boy could not possibly live long, retnuiued and did all they could to comfort the family. The scene was, in deed, heartrending, the parents imploring the physicians to save the hoy, who ap peared to l>e a favorite of the whole family. Strange to say the little fellow lived until half-past three o'clock, two hours and a half after being shot, although he of course was perfectly unconscious during the whole time. The particulars of the distressing afl'air, as tar as can l>e learned, are as follows: Atterdinner, Frank and his brother Will, aged about tifteen years, were playing about the house, and the former was espe cially happy over the fact that Christmas was so close at hand and was clapping his hands in glee and shouting joyously. While in the upstairs room, Will came across his father's revolver, which an older brother had laid down, first having, as he supposed, taken out all the cartridges. Will picked up the weapon, aud thinking it was empty, pointed it at Frank and pulled the trigger. A loud report followed aud the lad was horrified to sec his brother drop to the tloor with a shriek. The shock to his nervous system was so great that he went into convulsions and remained in a very weak condition all day. Another brother who was just recovering trom a sj»ell of sickness was so shocked that he became worse, and the house was indeed one of mourning. The pistol was .'{H-cali bre. and afterwards the ball was found imbedded in the plaster of the wall about five feet from the floor, having gone clear through the lad's skull and flattened itself out against a gas pipe in the wall.

The attempt at suicide which the aged stranger Absalom Johnson, made last Sun day, and which proved unsuccessful at the time, ended most sadly in his death yester day afternoon. In the morning he ap peared to be resting comfortably and there seemed to be no doubt of his recovery, but about two o'clock P. M. he became feverish and by three o'clock was in a raving deli rium. It was impossible to keep any covers upon his lied, as he would ding them off faster than they could be replaced, and at times his shrieks would cause people to stop upon the street. At last he became so violent that the landlady, who was attending him. was afraid to remain in the room, and after securing the windows to preveut him from throwing himsell out, she went out and lock ed the door, thinkiug that possibly his fren zy might wear itself out. Butjbe still con tinued to rave, and his cries, which could be heard to the farthest paris of the house, attracted quite a large lnxly ot school chil dren, who crowded around the door ot the building. He seemed to be in^ agouy and constantly shrieked "Oh!" and 4'Oh, My God!" This continued until about half-past four o'clock when Iiis cries gradually became fainter, and finally subsided into low groans and mutteriugs. By listening at the door the landlady sur mised that he bad again laid down upou the bed. and when he became quieter she ventured into the room. She found him stretched upon the l>ed with the covers scattered alniut the floor. When he saw her he began to groan again, and begged her to send for a doctor, at the same time declaring that he was dying. She attempted to cheer him by makiug light of thrs declaration but he kept exclaiming "I'm dying, I tell yon, and I want a doctor." He then began to rave again, and when she said, "If you're dying you'd ln-tter have a preacher," he cried "No, I don't want any of your preachers. I won't have them !" She then replaced the covers upon him and at last by persuasion she managed to sooth him into comparative quiet. She then tele phoned to I)r. Garrison to have a physician sent to the house, and at altout half-past o'clock I»r. Wilson arrive«!. After inquiry of the landlady concern ing the old man's condition the two pro ceeded to the room. The door was shut and refused to open easily, but thinking that probably one of the quits had become wedged under it they applied their united force to it and succeeded in shoving it open. Ou entering the room they were horrified at discovering the old man stretched upon the carpet with his feet ! planted against the door, dead. His frame was stifl'ened and lie had seemingly l»eeii dead for some time before they lbuud him. The lower port of his bodv was tan gled in a coverlid which had been dragged from the bed and upon examination the doctor decidcd that he had expired in a convulsion. The doctor, with the assistance of two of the male ltoardefs, had his remains laid out upon the bed, which had been soaked with his sell-spilled blood. Corouer Schultze was notiticd and an inquest was held last evening, at which I)r. Wilson testilicd that in Iiis opinion de ceased had died from convulsions caused by an attempt to kill himself, and a ver dict was rendered accordingly. His re mains were then taken to the establish ment of Undertaker Zook and were ore pared for the funeral. The interment will take place to-day, at the city graveyard. It looks as if Johnson's case had not been properly looked after by the county authorities, but this is probably owing to the absence from the city of both Commis sioners Peterson and Prince, one of whom usually looks after ltoth Madison and Clay districts when the other is away. Com missioner Picket yesterday telephoned the county physician toeall at the house, which he did, but his visit was too late. IIORSFOIlD'rf ACID PHOSPHATE In Nervous K\li;ni*tion.
