ingly Monday

and Mailers Wheeler and Rings,i, the gentlemen for whom the
trial was to take place. For the purpose a hole of about nine

being read
:Avg, of cotton was inserted therein. From some cause not
emtplained, the charge could not be sent far enough, when an
TOD rod was employed, the end of which was, as a precaution,
.-uyvered with cotton. Mr. Rhys, of Aberdare, took hold of
the rod to ram it down, Mr. Wheeler sttaading near him, and
vo workman on the other side, when an explosion, caused
either by compression or a spark from the iron rod, took
place, wounding Mr. Rhys in the face so very seriously, that
it is greatly feared he will lose his sight. Mr. Wheeler was
also cut on the face in three or four places, and the workman
seriously hurt.— Welshman.
