SERIOUS ACCIDENT.— On Sunday last, the chimney at
Throstle Nest Mill, Blackburn, fell with a tremendous
crash, by which six persons were seriously injured; one
of them has since died. In its fall the chimney de-
molished the boiler house, which appears to have been
very slightly put together ; and broke in one of the boilers.
The fall of the chimney is attributable, we believe, to the
fact that fire bricks were not used at the bott',m of the
chimney which communicates with the fire; and because
the chimney being too near to the fire the flue was too
short, and the fire passing up it burnt the bottom of the
chimney away.
