Mr. J. V. Wallace May Lose Hand as1 Risult of Accident.1 Having shot himsedf in the hand and1 wrist with a doubie-barrel4ed shotgun, which was loaded with buckshot, Mr. John V. Wallace, the manager of the Cable company, of Charleston, is now Wying et the St. Francis Xavier in-] firmary here, awaiting thle dacison of1 the atitendaint physici'ans as to whetheri the amputation of his left hand will be necessary.2 The accident was a pecuiia.r one. Day before yesterday several gentle men went from Oharleston to. Sum merville on_ a hunt, as the guests of Mr. L. I. Meyers,. On Monday they . szhot birds, and after tihe day's sport Il many of .them returned to the city, but !' among those who stayed was Mr. Wal lace.. A large deer hunt was the program ( for yesterday, and Mr. Wallace was I p-laced on a stand, 'accompanied only f1 by his 5-year-old son, Ve rnon. The estand at which he was put was about3 -two miles from Mr. Meyers's residence, 1 .and six miiles from Summervtille. TheC child sys that Mr Wallace was sitting -t with both barrels of his gun cocked, e the weapon resting across his knees. He cocked the gun, the child stated,r TWhen he heard the baying of theC hounds near him. Suddenly, with a t:hunderous report, ~ one of th.e barrels of the gun went off, , and Mr. Wallace's left 'hand and wrist jI were horribly mutilated. The boy1 screamed and soon some of the party ' arrived on the scen;e, but the injured E man was forced to ride t.he two miles a to the house of Mr. Myers, where aC temporary dressing was made for the' band. He was then carried in a buggy by Mr. Meyers to Summerville, where he stayed at the house of Dr. A. H. Hayden until 8.30, when, with Dr. Hay- ( den, he took the train for Charleston. Immediiately upon his arrival in the city he was taken to the St. Francis. Xavier infirma'ry, where Drs. Baker, Boykin and Hayden performed an operation on the band and wrist in an( effort to save it from eventu:al amputa-1 tion. The physicians think that their effor'ts were successful, and that alli anger of~ blood poison has been re- i moved. But it is said by them that if the slightest 'sign of poison is shown the b2.rd must be cut off. Mr. Wallace bore his intense suffer ino- very bravely and never complained Beautiful Stor custom has been to make I ed by friends and dear one hose things which will las1 There is nothing that wi Abina, these goods are imp Id Watches iful Solid Gold Watch.

Kews and Courier, 8th. According to the latest reports from he St. Francis Xavier infirmary, it is ihought that the amputation of the lieft iand of Mr. J. V. Wallace, of this city, ,vho shot hiimself accidentally day be ~ore yesterday whie on a deer hunt~ ear Summe'rville, may not be deces aery. Mr. Wallace was huntlng wit so)me riends, and *had been placed on a stand. At the time of the accident, he was sitting on a -log, accompanied only >y his 5-year-old son. Both barrels >f his gun were cocked, and one of hem was discharged in an inexplic ble manner. His left hand and wrist were hor ibly 'torn, and he was brought to thef ity night before last.

It is thought now hat all danger of blood poison has een eliminated, sand that in time he rill fully regain the use of his infur d hand.
