The circumstances of the affair are reported to be about as follows: They were sitting together in front of Esterline's store, arguing about some unimportant matter, when Osborne called Meadville a liar. Meadville replied that if he (Osborne) called him a liar again he would whip him. Osborne then jumped up and said, "you're a G-d d-d liar," and Meadville at once rose and grabbed him by the throat-the bystanders at the same time catching him to pull him away-when he exclaimed, "I'm stuck." Upon examination it appeared that he had received a stab in the breast, which penetrated the left ventricle of the heart. It was given with a Barlow knife. The wound, it was soon discovered, was a serious one, and at about one o'clock on the same night he died. Osborne was arrested, and the next morning brought to jail, where he awaits trial. Both men are said to have been sober, and previously on good terms. Osborne has a wife and three children. Meadville was unmarried, but was the support of an aged and dependent mother. -------------------- ACCIDENTS Philip Farbauch, an employee at McNamara's rolling mill, was severely injured about the back and shoulders, on Thursday last, by falling upon him of a derrick. Wm. Stone, of the Gaysport Foundry, sustained a severe injury to one of his legs on the same day. He was assisting to remove a heavy casting which accidentally slipped off the rollers and rolled over his leg. The limb was painfully bruised but fortunately no bones were broken.
