THE ST. CLAIR FLATs.-The work on the
new channel through the st. Clair Flats Is
rapidly approaching completion. Inc
length of the cut is one and a half miles,
and the width 800 feet in the clear. A suffi-
cient depth of water at the south end has
been reached, so that as far as the length
is concerned it is finished. The contractor
is now engaged in cleaning 0ut the cut
with dredges and leveling the embank-
ments. 1t was at first thought that the
earth forming the embankment on the out
side would remain without piIing, but the
action of the water is rapidly removing 1t,
and 1t is now found necessary to drive piles
to save it from being entirely washed away.
This is now being done, and when completed
swamp willows are to be set out the entire
length of each embankment. It is clai-ued
that when the willows are grown up, the
roots penetrating and spreading over be
ground, and the piles and timber hayin G
Totted away, the roots of the willow will
hold the embankment. Two light houses
one at each end of the cut, are being
erected. The two light houses in the old
canal, it is said, will be retained and kept
mp for the accommodation of RATS being
tOwed over the Flats, and also for the pas
sage of vessels and crafts, when the cut is
| full. The embankments on each side o.
the cut are forty feet in width, and five
feet above the water level, and the deptf
of water in the channel is fifteen feet. Th'
entire work will be completed by the Is
Of October next, and the channel open TO

Burned i'm Brick KiIn-A Singular
Accident.

A singular and fatal accident occurred a
few DAYS ago at Heinz q Co. s brick yard at
Sharpsburg, Pa 1t seems, says a local
paper, the men engaged in the yard were
gathered around a kiln which they were
opening-the bricks having been properly
burned. In the construction of a kiln
there is always layer of sand about eigh-
teen inches thick between the front row of
bricks and the front of the kiln. This is
kept in place by plank wall-the other
three walls being built up of solid brick or
stone. When kiln is to be opened the
lower plank is taken out and the sand
scooped and shoveled to one side as fast as
it falls.
The men in this case had taken out the
lower plank and were about to remove the
sand, when suddenly it came bursting out
of the opening as though it hadbeen water,
The men had not time toget away, and
eight of them were caught in it as it spread
Immediately over plot of ground measur-
ing about forty feet. The sand was as hot
as a live coal, and all of whom it touched
were severely burned. They were unable
to move, but their cries brought assistance,
and in few moments all were taken home,
where medical attention was secured. One
of the victims, Herbert Oupps, a boy, WIS
terribly burned, and after lingering In great
agony, died.
The cause of the falling of the sand can
only be explained on the supposition that 1t
contained some quicksand. This fact was
unknown to the proprietors Of the yard.
Generally the sand comes out only when
dug, and no fear of any accident from that
source is ever entertained.
