THE BARNSLEY EXPLOSION

At the inquest into the death of the persons killed by the
Barnsley explosion, the following statement br one of
the sufferers (since dead) was read :—" I, William Elliott
Bywater, of Waltham-street, Barnsley, state that I
worked for Mr. Norris at his fireworks manufactory. On
Wednesdaylast I went to work at a quarter-past six o'clock
in the morning. I went into the far shop at abo at a
quarter to seven o'clock, and found there Richard Ev►,ns,
Jane Hawker, Sarah Ann Downing, and Mrs. Cooper, the
lads Tommy Siddons, Joe Siddons, Watson, and Tommy
Carroll. Mr. Norris came shortly afterwards. I saw som
composition in a can which was on the stove, but I did not
see who put it there. I saw Mrs. Cooper with the tin in her
hand a few minutes before I noticed it being on the
stove. My attention immediately afterwards was directed
to the stove in consequence of the smell of sulphur proceed
ing from it. The composition consisted of nitre, sulphur,
and charcoal, and was a very combustible substance. The
stove was railed round with iron bars about 4ft. high,
and had an iron bar all round the top for the purpose of
placing the tins on. The bar was about 3ft. from the
top of the stove. From the time I first saw the tin in
the hand of Mrs. Cooper up to the time I saw it on the
stove would be about four minutes, and while the tin was
on the stove she was standing close by. The tin
ought to have been placed on the bars, and not
on the stove. I was standing about a yard from the
stove at that time, and Mr. Norris was standing close to
me. Mr. Norris and myself both looked towards the
stove at the same time, and we both attempted to take
the tin with composition off, but it exploded before
we could do so. After the explosion I never saw Mr.
Norris, Mrs. Cooper, or the boy Watson. When I next
found myself I was blown into the window-sill, the
windows of which were blown out. Immediately after-
wards I was blown out of the building into the garden.
I then found that my clothing was on fire, and I rolled
myself on the ground and called for help. Some people
came to me and placed me on a board and took me home.
1 don't knew who they were. I then became insensible,
and when I came to myself I was lying on the house floor.
That is all I remember about the affair. I have no use in
my hands and arms, and I don't think I shall get better.
I have no feeling in my hands, and I cannot write. This
is a true statement of all I know about the explosion."
All the bodies having been fully identified, and the
coroner having given certificates for the burial, the inquest
was adjourned until Tuesday.

THE BARNSLEY EXPLOSION.-

At the inquest into the death of the persons Killed by the
Barnsley explosion, the following statement Iv one of
the sufferers (since dead) was read :—" I, William Elliott),
Bywater, of Waltham-street, Barnsley, state that I
worked for Mr. Norris at his fireworks manufactory. On
Wednesday last I went to work at a quarter-past six o'clock
in the morning. I went into the far shop at about a
quarter to seven o'clock, and found there Richard EN-wig,
Jane Hawker, Sarah Ann Downing, and Mrs. Cooper, the
lads Tommy Siddons, Joe Siddons, Watson, and Tomrcr
Carroll. Mr. Norris came shortly afterwards. I saw some
composition in a can which was on the stove, but I didnot
see who put it there. I saw Mrs. Cooper with the tin in her
hand a few minutes before I noticed it being on the
stove. My attention immediately afterwards was directed
to the stove in consequence of the smell of sulphur proceed
ing from it. The composition consisted of nitre, sulphur,
and charcoal, and was a very combustible substance. The,
stove was railed round with iron bars about Oft. high,
and bad an iron bar all round the top for the purpose of
placing the tins on. The bar was about 3ft. from the
top of the stove. From the time I first saw the tin in
the hand of Mrs. Cooper up to the time I saw it on the
stove would be about four minutes, and while the tin was
on the stove she was standing close by. The tin
ought to have been placed on the bars, and not
on the stove. I was standing about a yard from the
stove at that time, and Mr. Norris was standing close to
me. Mr. Norris and myself both looked towards the
stove at the same time, and we both attempted to take
the tin with composition off, but it exploded before
we could do so. After the explosion I never saw Mr.
Norris, Mrs. Cooper, or the boy Watson. When I next
found myself I was blown into the window-sill, the
windows of which were blown out. Immediately after-
wards I was blown out of the building into the garden.
I then found that my clothing was on fire, and I rolled
myself on the ground and called for help. Some people
came to me and placed me on a board and took me home.
I don't know who they were. I then became insensible,
and when I came to myself I was lying on the house floor.
That is all I remember about the affair. I have no use in
my hands and arms, and I don't think I shall get better.
I have no feeling in my hands, and I cannot write. This
is a true statement of all I know about the explosion."
All the bodies having been fully identified, and the
coroner having given certificates for the burial, the inquest
Was adjourned until Tuesday.
