wich) was attempting to ram some gunpowder down an
iron tube with a stick, when the gunpowder exploded,
and the stick entered his body, causing his depth soon
afterwards.
A detachment of 50 men of the 2d Battalion of

Farnborough station of the South Western Rail-

They were accompanied by Ensign Ward and a due
proportion of non-commissioned officers. The con-
ducting party returned to Aldershot in the after-
noon. The transferred men will embark for Liam
