Portsmouth, O., Oct 23--Nannie, the 8-year-old daughter of Joseph Gillan, of Olive Hill, accidentally discharged a revolver which fell from her father's coat. The ball after striking the little girl in the knee and shattered the bone, struck her grandmother, Mrs. Gillan. The bullet lodged in the old lady's temple and she is not expected to live. The limb of the little girl will have to be amputated.
