ACCIDENTAL serious accident
occurred at the slate quarry, neaI
the Pencil Mill, in Castleton, few
days ago. Three men were cngig
ed in drilling out an uneXploded
blast, but neglecting to keep the hole
filled with water, it went off, injur |
ing all three more or less. Pat |
Downie who was holding the drill |
was so badly burned that for a time
it was supposed he would lose both
eyes, but the prospect is more favor
able at present. Another of the
workmen, Richard Jones, had his
face well peppercd with powder and
small pieces of slate, but fortunate
| ~ his eyes escaped without damage.
