_________________________

DUNKE (Berlin) - About ten o'clock on Friday night last, an accident occurred in the neighbourhood of this town by which a woman named Mrs. Dunke lost her life. It appears that Mr. Israel, living near Strasbourg, was attending a protracted meeting held in the German Methodist Church of this place, and when returning home with a load of twelve or fifteen persons in his sleigh, among whom was the woman above referred to, his horses in consequence of another team attempting to pass them became unmanageable and ran off, upsetting the sleigh and all in it on the hard frozen ground.

All except Mrs. Dunke escaped unhurt. The injuries she sustained were such as to preclude all hope of recovery. Besides a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm, and a severe contusion on the temple, she received internal injuries from which she died on the Sunday morning following. From the occurrence of the accident till a short time before her death when she recognized and spoke to her son, she was unconscious.
