Serious Runaway Accident.

We are indebted to a friend at Fairview for the following facts:

On Monday last as Messrs. Isaiah Fields and Joseph Power, of Morristown, were driving near Hendrysburg, Belmont county, a bolt that holds the shafts to the front axletree came out, dropping the shafts upon the heels of the horse, which caused him to run.  Fields, thinking to catch the horse by the head, jumped out, and in doing so broke his right leg just above the ankle, both bones protruded through the skin, lacerating the flesh very severely.   Power either jumped or fell out on his head which produced concussion of the brain.  Mr. Fields leg was amputated by Dr. MePherson, assisted by Drs. Dunham and Rosemond, of Fairview, and Hoge of Morristown, and Jones of Hendrysburg.  The unfortunate men were taken to their homes at Morristown immediately after the operation was performed.

Distressing Accident

One day last week while Mr. Abe Howell was mowing grass for Mr. Ludlow Lent, in Knox township, Mr. Lent, stepped in front of the cutting bar of the machine, which nearly severed his feet from his legs.  One of them had to be amputated, and it is thought he can never have the use of the other.  This is indeed a sad accident, as Mr. Lent was an industrious, honest old gentleman in very moderate circumstances.

Sudden Death Of Mr. J. W. Simons

On Saturday morning last this community was shocked by the sudden death of Mr. J. W. Simons, an old and highly respected citizen.  He had been ailing for some time, but none thought there was anything serious in the nature of his disease.  On the morning of his death he was out on the porch of his residence, and had been talking to his son, Dr. C. P. Simons, about his physical condition while walking about the porch.  The doctor, having occasion to go out upon the street a few minutes, left his father seated upon a chair on the porch, but had scarcely gone out of sight when the old gentleman fell to the floor.  His son and Dr. Wall were immediately sent for, and soon after their arrival Mr. Simons expired.

The deceased was born in Pennsylvania in 1819, and came to Zanesville in 1830, where he resided until 1855, when he removed to Cambridge.  He had been n leading member of the Baptist church for thirty-one years, and a deacon in the same for several years past.  Mr. Simons leaves a mother, widow and several children to mourn over their sudden and severe affliction.  His remains were interred in the Cambridge Cemetery on Sabbath last under the auspices of the Odd Fellows Lodge, of which order he has long been a prominent member.

The family of the deceased have the condolence of the entire community in their bereavement.

A female pauper named McCarrol died at the County Infirmary, Friday.

 

Our citizens were startled on the afternoon of Thursday last, by the intelligence that two paupers in our county infirmary had been murdered by an insane inmate of that institution named Berry.  This man Berry is a native of Liberty township, and was brought here on Wednesday by Constable Thompson of Cambridge, on a warrant issued by the Probate Judge.  He was placed in a room on the upper floor, and all the usual precautions of safety was observed.  Everything went well until about noon, Thursday, when he (Berry) becoming terribly excited and enraged, with superhuman strength tore to pieces the heavy door of his cell.  After gaining access to the hall, he began to dispend the stairs, from one story to another until he reached the lower floor, tearing down three doors in his passage.  Here he came in contact with two of his fellow inmates each one of whom he dealt a blow on the head, and instantly killed.  One of these victims was a woman named Agnes Kimble, the other a man named Richey, both of whom have long term inmates of the institution.  The fatal weapon used was a strip from his cell door, with which in punched the face of the dead man entirely off.  The scene is described by those who saw it as heart sickening.  The blood and brains of the dead victims scattered around, the piercing shrieks of the maniac with the mournful bewailings of the inmates were calculated to make the strongest heart quake.  The crazy man was at last captured in the yard, and returned to a cell, and heavily ironed.  The coroner was telegraphed for, arriving in town late that evening.  After empaneling a Jury of our citizens, they proceeded to the infirmary and held an inquest over the dead bodies.  A verdict in accordance with the above facts was returned.  Berry is now in the Zanesville Jail.
