PHR.-Death,r in its most terrible
form, seems to be again on the wing,
and his fatal shafts are falling on
every hand. Our readers have scarce

announcement Of the explosion Of
the saw mill boiler, near .Curdsville,

Our information is to the effect
that, on Wednesday, a miner in
Shotwell's Mines, near Caseyville,
Ky; prepared blast. and, without
giving the other miners warning, set
it of. Two miners were in an adj
joining chamber, separated by wall
about a, foot and half thick. By
some means, both the persons were
terribly mangled-one being instant
ly killed, and the other so badly
injured that it is impossible for him to
recover, and it was supposed that he
would die before night. The other
minerss incensed at the careless
ness of the one making the blast,
seized him and locked him up In the
powder house, declaring their purpose
to hang him that night. The mines
are situated some two miles from the
river, ahdas all the miners were COM
bined together9to take vengeance on
the prisoner, there was no force. that
could be obtained in the vicinity to
rescue him, and it was feared that
they would carry out htheir purpose.
Our informant obtained none of the
names of the parties involyediin the
affair. hslsssyl4 ION 49, 4oaalb of1i tna'
