Serioob Accident. Quite a serious ac
cident occurred at tbe McCray Iron tank,
6n tbe hill near the churches, ibis forenoon
The tank, it will be remembered, was the
one mat sprung a leak during the winter
by whlob a large amount of oil was lost
Subsequently tbe tank was purchased by Mr
C. N. Psyne, and a contract let to Wm.
Jamleson, of Cleveland, to take It down
and remove It to Butler. From Mr. J. we
learn the Dsrliculeia at the aceldent. It
appears a scaffolding had been erected to
saae aowa tbe sheets of iron . A man nam
d Geo. Sandleson was on the scaffolding
engaged In tbe work of taking down tbe
laug. uue or tbe sheets was nearly down
wbeo tbe end sudd 'nlv twi:ns round strik
ing Sandleson on. Ibe breast and knocking
him off the scaffold to tbe ground, a dis
tance or about 17 feet, breaking bis right
leg between the knee and ankle. Th.
break Is what Is technically termed a ton -
.iuuiiu iraciure, ana is a very bad one, tbe
bone being splinteied and protruding thru'
iu neat), ruysicians were called in and
the fracture reduced. Tbe poor man stood
tbe fearful pain without a murmur
merely saying "There's nothing tbe matter
who me, ooya." Sendlwon resided in Oil
City, and was taken thence en Ihe 1:30 p
m train. He is unmarried and baa Iriende
residing In that place
Tbere was a fair audlenoa iu attendance
at tbe Opera House, Saturday evening, to
witness tbe performance of tbe Shadow
Pantomime Troupe. The pieces, conald
erlog all tbe perfurmers are amateurs,
were wall executed, and elicited merited
applause from all present. We bad not
tbe pleasure ol attending, but heat, the
performance very highly spoken or by those
present Wo understand tloy intend giv
ing another performance soon, and also
Intend giving entertainments at Rousevllle,
Tarr Farm, Kane City and other surround
ing villages. They are entitled to success
and we hope will meet it.
On oi Smswley's teams ran away yes
terday afternoon. Tbe team was hired by
Captain Grants in tbe morning to go to
Columbia farm. Having business to trans
act be hitched tbem to tree and went
way. It is thought they became frlgbteo
ed and breaking looses ran away, lording
tbe Creek and came up tbe Egbert Aa la and
over the bridge at a furious psoe. At tbe
corner of tbe MoClintock House, one wheel
came off wills a orasb. They were finally
( atopped on tbe Boyd farm. One of tbe
botaes was quite severely injured and tbe
wagon badly smashed up.
