A Horrible and Fatal Accident.

  Friday morning last while Christ Dill, of Johnstown, was searching 
along the river banks and in the alleys for what he could find, he 
found a large piece of glass in his wanderings and concluded he would 
take it along and some day sell it.  About 10 o'clock that night he 
started for home with the glass under one arm and a clock under the 
other.  Five minutes later he was found near the borough of Dale, near 
the Bedford pike, with his throat cut, broken pieces of glass were 
about him and the blood was flowing from the terrible wound.  He was 
dead in a few minutes.  He had fallen, and as he did so his throat 
struck the piece of glass.  Deceased was a married man and his wife and 
children live in Cincinnati.
