Terrible Torpedo Explosion.
THREE MEN INSTANTLY KILLED AND ANOTHER
FATALLY INJURED.

IHliEE MEN INslANILf klLLED AND ANOlHER
FATALLY INJURED.
A fata, accident took place in Church
Run yesterday, resulting in the instant death
of A. d. Griffin w. II. Todd and William
Bills, and the fatal injury of Col. P. David
son. The accident occurred about Il o.
clock, at the office of Col Davidson, on the
territory leased him on Church Run, about
one mile from the city. The parties were
engaged in preparing torpedo for one of
the wells. While Griffin, Todd and Bills
were standing about the torpedo, jarring
down the charge, Col. Davidson was about
walking toward the door. 1t is thought
that the charge contained about six pounds
Of Illuminating powder (Coi. Davidson's in
vention,) while about twenty additional
pounds were lying near. The explosion re.
suited from percussion, aud the shock was
preceptibly felt all over the entire city. The
building WAS of course, blown into frag-
ments, and its inmates, with the exception
Of Mr.. Davidson, were instantly killed
Their clothing was almost entirely stripped
from their bodies, which were shockingly
lacerated in every part. A crowd of men
was speedily gathered from the vicinity. -
Col. Davidson was found to be conscious,
but utterly helpless and experiencing the
intensest pain. His right thigh was severed
to the bone, as though laid open by an axe,
and his chest, back, arms and head were
covered with Shastly burns, his face burned
to crisp, and the sight OF one eye destroy
