ACCIDIiNT AT • NAPTHA MANUFACTORT.-01IM011-
day evening an explosion and fin occurred at the naptha
manufeetory belonging to Mr. James Bapty, manufacturing
chemist, New Worthy. It appeared that in order to pre-
I vent the disagreeable fumes from the vapour generated in the
proems of making naphtha, Mr. Bapty had a pipe flied by
which the offensive fumes were conveyed from the still Into
a tall chimney ; the pipe wu defective, and a new we was
ordered, bat had not been got ready. Mean% hile the old
pipe had been repaired, and all went on sally till about ten
akutes before six o'clock on Monday evening, when, in
diseluireing the still, a quantity of the gaseous cottirt
escaped through Wake in the pipe, and as the fire,
Eda*, had only been partially extinguished, in an instant
a violent ,explosioa took place, resembling ono of fire
damp in a coal mine. The roof of the building was
lifted up perpendicularly, one of its sides, adjoining •
yard, was drives down, and when the root fell the
dames were forced out laterally for several yards, and Mr.
Bapty, Mr. Jabs Brook, sad two persona named Joseph
Wrigley and John Williamson were completely enveloped
in • sheet of fire, mad had to make their way out of it as beet
they could. A larger building, to which that in which the
explodes took place forms a wing, was also set on fire. The
budding was • new one, and we understand that the entire
damage will amount to between 4001. and 6001. Neither the
building nor the stork is insured. Mr. Brook, one of the
injured parties, expired on Wednesday saorning.—Leede
