house was entirely demolished, and a workman
therein carried upwards of 40 yards from the spot,
much bruised and scalded another'inan at the top
of the pits was struck by a splinter froM some beams
of timber which opposed:tho .engine in its recoil
. from the explosion, and the resistance that the steam
met with from the air; which broke his leg. It is
