BURSTING OF A GRINDsTONE-The

named William johnson was severely
injured this morning about 9 O'Clock, by
the bursting of gr;ndstone. weighing
over 5000 pounds. in the cellar of Bic
kenderfer's foundry, corner of Duke and
Chestnut streets. 1t appears that John
son had recently erected the stone for bis
own use, and at the time of the accident
was at work upon it for the first time.
He wac seated on the wooden "horse"
above and behind the stone, which was
driven by steam power. and was running
at the rate af 400 revolutions per minute.
when suddenly it broke into three frag-
ments, weighing over half ton each,
tearing the woodwork by which it was
surrounded into thousand fragments,
and carrying the horse upon which John
son was sitting almost up to the ceiling.
he falling to the floor among the debris
and receiving an ugly cut above the eye,
and on one hand, besides being injured
internally. One fragment of the stone
was thrown entirely across the cellar.
and, coming in contac. with the heavy
shaft of large cast-iron wheel, broke
and overturned it. Another fragment
was thrown against the opposite wall,
and the third remained in the wheel-pit.
A workman named Levi Lands was
standing beside the wheel at the time,
but escaped without any other damage
than bruised leg He picked up John
son and dragged him from the ruins and
sent for DR.. Atlee. who was promptly on
the spot and dressed the mans wounds,
aud conveyed him to bis residence in
West Orange street. His external in.
.uries are not very severe, but the extent
of his internal injuries in not yet known.
