SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

This morning a married man named William Campbell, whose wife resides in Scotland, and who was known to have friends in Auckland, was admitted to the hospital suffering from very serious injuries. Camphell was run over by a dray loaded with gravel, and his spine was broken. The injured man is a book-fin-isher, and was employed by Messrs Whitcombe and Tombs, Ltd. His condition is critical, and no hope of his recovery can bo held out. From the nature of bis injuries it seems that the wheels of the dray passed over his neck and bead. Campbell was a recent arrival from Auckland, and had been in the employ of Whitcombe and Tombs only a short while. The accident happened in Colombo Street at 7.-Jo this morning. LATER. Campbell died in the Hospital tonight.
