J. c. Lowry, EJ., followed for the defense. After Mr. 1-owry sat down, W. H. Koontz, K-q. arose and did the principal so naming up for the defense. He spoke lor an hour and a I.ulf, making one of the strongest, clearest and most exhaustive arguments ever made before a Somerset County jury. He Lairlr ftasted the detectives who had been titiou lite stand aud dissected lite lestimrtnv ol many of tite Commonwealth's witnessm especially Brown's and McClay's. in a mit vigorous and pittiiess manner.

Terrible and Fstal Accident at Hynd man. A most terrible and shocking accident hap pened about half past 1 o'clock Fri.Uy after noon, at Hyndman, in Bedford county, whereby two young men. sons of prominent eitiXMts of Hyndman. kit their lives. The unfortunate victims of the aeciilent were John M filer, aged yean, and Alfred Gross, aged 14 years. Fri-lay morning Alfred Robb aged is years, a resilient of Hyndnian, Ii.k bis shot gun am! started fur the woods in search of game. He returned about I o'clock and proceeded np the principal street toward bis borne. On th way thither he met young Miller and Gross near tbe public school baflding. The boys were on their wy to school and meeting Mr. Robb. stopped and engaged in conversation to the success of his adventure in the woods. Iraring the course of his recital, Mr. Robb, who bad been holding his gun on his shoulder attempted to lower it to hlasidelaad in doing so the hammer of the gun caught in some unac countable manner in his tclolhing and fall ing oath cap discharged the weapon, tiae charge taking afftsrt in the faces of the boys. A portion of the charge struck young Miller on tbe bead near the temple killing him in stantly. Young Gross, who received tite rest of tbe cbanre in the neck and face, managed to nin in the direction of his house, a distance of fifty feet, when be, too, fell to the ground and expired. - The new of the terrible ca lamity soon spread through the vilhue and almost simultaneously with tbe sitoutir.g a laa-ge crowd collected upon the scene. Robb upon examining the body of young Miller, who was lying at his (eet, and finding that he was dead, hastened to the spot where the body of young Gross was lying, aud when be discovered ttiat be, too, was dead, fell to the ground in a faint, and from that time his mind has un-lergone a great change, it being (eared by his friends that his mind will b permanently iiniaired over tiie result of the accident. The bodies of the victims present an aw ful spectacle. Nearly ihe whole of Miller's face is blown away, exposing the bones ol the face and skull. Gross' remains do not present such a revolting appearance, as the shot lodged mostly in his neck. Theshol used in Ihe gun was what is known as No. !, an onbnaay stse. Young Miiier was the son of Henry Miiier, proprietor of the New holei at Hyndman, and the boy Gross was the sou of Benjamin Gntss, divisiou foreman of the Pennsylvania railroad at Hyndman. The lerriole affair has cust a gloom over tbe en tire community, and tit parents of the un fortunate victims are receiving tiie sympathy of ail. It is not believe uiat Mr. Uoub wiil ever again have complete control of his mind as he is suffering terribly, mentally, over the result of the accident. Accidental Snooting. William, the eighteen -year-old son of Wil liam Yinkey, residing in Somerset township, alxtut ftnr miles siiuth of town, met with his death In a most horrible manner on Friilay lat. He arose eariy in the morning ot that d.iy, and thought he would spend an I hour before the morning meal in hunting for squirrels in Ihe woods surrounding the farm. While limiting a day or two lief'ore young Mr. Yinkey was impressel with the idea tiiat his game-piece, an old " army musket," didn't shoot .true lo llie.niarl , and previous to setting out Friday morning he pr.ce-lel to give it a cleansing. Se-t-d orx the fl.sir of the woodshed, some fifty te;-t from the Yinkey domicile, with the gun resting between his knees, he was endeavor ing to withdraw the charge that had been left in it fromfhe former hunt, when fiw some unknown reason the gun was discharged, the iron ram-rod that had been imsrrted into the barrel passing entirely Through the body of tiie unfortunate boy.

A Night of Rare Enjoyment. It is ait uncommou tiling for a new com pany or a new play lo draw a big house in this city, but last night was a notable ex ception to the nile, when reck Jfc Ftirsman's superb dramatic compiany made tin.tr initial appearance in the bonier drama entitled, "tin the trail t or, Daniel Boone, the Pioneer,' for an audience that packed tiie Academy of Music almost to suffocation was present, and one and ail went home highly pleased hy the entertainment furnished. The piay dif fers fruiu any border drama ever presented here, in the fact that the "Diood and thun der ' element was almost entirely elimina ted, which was a very agreeable surprise. Jobner, the scout, appeared in the title role, and appeared as much at home before the fitotlights as in handling a Winche-ter in a skirmish on the frontier. Tbe company is a good one. notably Mr. George Barr. as Simon aVh'i, the renegade, and Mr. J. I.. I'rgi r.as Iliih-ijiih, the Indian chief. A band of genu ine Shawnee Indians, five horses, a donkey and wild animals introduced tend to pro duce a realism never before witnessed in a dramatic pro lur-tioii. We wish this corn company success, for it is certainly deserved. Vmiltillr I Pa ) ll-pnfAimit. The altove company will opj-ear in the Somerset ljera House Friilay evening. Oc tober ljiu.
