SHOCKEVG _POWDER MILL EXPLOSION.

At five minutes rest one o'clock on Friday afternoon a
terrific explosion claimed the visitors of Hounslow,
Twickenham, Feltham, &c., which turned out to arise from
n accident at the Gunpowder Works of Messrs. Curtis
:And Harvey, at Hatton, near Hounslow, by which three un-
fortunate workmen have lost their lives. Two brothers-iu-
law, named Hodges and Walters, one a resident in Feltham,
and the other of Hanworth, and a man named Rutter, who
resided at Wellington-road, Hounslow, are the unfortunate
victims. They were all at work in a corning-house, where
the explosion originated. The destruction to property at
the works is considerable. The corning-house is completely
destroyed; the machinery and other contents being scat-
tered about in all directions. One of the barrels was blown
to a considerable height and lodged in a poplar tree,
whore it may be seen from the roadway. Hedges
has worked at the mills almost all his life, and leaves
a large family to lament his loss. Rutter was also a
married man. The shock was felt for miles around, and
the scene the gates shortly after the explosion was
hcartrbn.,...„, the number of persona employed in various
departments being considerable. The injuries received,
however, by those employed elsewhere than in the corning-
house wero not serious. The last explosion that took
place at the Hatton Mills was about ten years ago, and
until recently the inhabitants of the neighbourhood were
of opinion that green charges only were worked, and that
they wore then removed to the Haworth Mills to
undergo the corning and finishing. The cause of the ex-
plosion cannot be accounted for, and it is probable that the
only persons who could throw any light on it were the un-
fortunate victims.
