First avenue [Sharon, PA].

A divorce was granted in the Mahoning county court on Saturday to Mrs.
Mattie Warren from her husband, Dr. Albert Warren, on the ground of
cruelty. Both are residents of Youngstown and prominent in social circles
of that city.  Mrs. Warren, who is a daughter of H. B. Shields of Niles,
president of the Continental Iron Company, was restored to her maiden name.
Dr. Warren is well known in Sharon and was formerly associated with his
uncle, Dr. J. W. Hillier, in the practice of medicine, at West Middlesex.

Attempted Suicide. Fred Miller, a young man about 23 years old, who lately
came to Sharon from Niles, tried to commit suicide on Monday morning by
swallowing carbolic acid.

He was taken at once to the hospital and is now recovering from the
horrible burns the acid made on his mouth and throat, but it is said, vows
that when he gets out he will do it again. Dissipation and a love affair
are said to be the cause.

Maimed by an Explosion. Dr. John Henshaw, of Vienna, was terribly maimed by
an explosion last Friday while mixing a compound. His right hand was torn
off, his left eye destroyed and he was otherwise injured. A correspondent
says the doctors was mixing a dose of chloride of potash and sulphur for a
horse when the stuff exploded with terrible force, making a wreck of the
office and seriously injuring the doctor. He was at once carried to the
hotel, where Dr. Proudfit attended him.  Drs. Ward and Simpson were sent
for, and it was found necessary to remove his right hand. He was taken to
the Sharon hospital Friday afternoon. The accident was a terrible thing,
and the doctor has the sympathy of all. Dr. Rogers, who was in the office
at the time, was injured, but he is recovering.  Dr. Henshaw formerly
resided in Sharon and is a son of Rev. George Henshaw, of Andover, Ohio, at
one time pastor of the Congregational church here. He is a popular young
physician and his terrible affliction is deplored by a wide circle of
friends and acquaintances. Reports from the hospital state that he is
resting as comfortably as possible and will recover.
