Accident in the Hancock Tunnel [Delaware Co. NY]
Last Saturday afternoon a large rock in the Hancock tunnel of the N.Y. and O. Midland Railroad, which had become loosened by frequent blasts, gave way, crushing beneath it three workmen who were engaged in arching the tunnel. Walter Allen of Summitville [Sullivan Co. NY], was so badly injured that he died a short time after the accident and Smith Denman of the same village had his leg broken and received several serious cuts and bruises. The third man, whose name we did not learn, escaped with a few bruises. The Mail train going north was delayed several hours by the accident. A few weeks ago, a similar accident occurred in this tunnel, but fortunately no one was injured. When the repairs which are now being made are completed, no further danger from falling rocks will be liable to occur. Allen leaves a wife and two children. The dead and wounded were brought home on a special train furnished by the road. Middletown Mercury, 6th

A story has been going the rounds that Jerome Sols of Plasterville, not long since held friendly communion with a panther near the roadway in a dense piece of woods along which he was journeying. The horse was stopped. The women at sight of the panther, as well as Jerome, became extremely nervous. The panther's eyes lighted up like balls of fire. At last, the animal's countenance fell, and no sooner had it fallen than our brave, heroic Jerome alighted, taking advantage of the moment, drove him from the scene and although the panther has not been seen since, his fierce yells have been now and then heard in the distant forest which sounds like the cries of a woman in great distress. Search has been made but nothing has yet been seen that looks anything like a panther, wild cat, screech owl or woman. G.S.T.

Nearly three months since we published an account of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Lucien Mosier of Oxford [Chenango Co. NY]. He was last seen in Oxford the second day of the town fair, early in September last. All endeavors to discover his whereabout were unavailing, and he was given up by his parents and friends as dead, many thinking that he had been accidentally drowned. The press of this and adjoining counties widely published the account of his disappearance, but nothing was heard from him until last Saturday, when as we learn from the Times, Mr. Mosier received a telegram from a relative in Marathon, N.Y. that his son was at that place, well and all right. The news afforded great relief to the parents of the young man whose departure without a word of his intentions needs an explanation.
Original Notice: Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, October 10, 1878: Information is wanted of Lucien D. Mosier, son of Warren Mosier of this town [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], who mysteriously disappeared on the last day of the fair, September 19th. He was last seen in this village in the afternoon of that day and since then nothing has been seen or heard of him, either by his parents or friends in town or by his relatives residing in other towns. He is twenty-four years of age, rather slim built and wore a black hat and a black suit of cassimere clothes, the pants being ribbed. Nothing had been noticed in his actions that would lead to the belief that he was not in his right mind, nor had he expressed any desire or determination to leave home. Any information concerning his whereabouts will be gratefully received by his father, Warren Mosier, whose address is Oxford, N.Y.
