shocking Aee.dens-Boy KiiIea-

An accident Of the most horrible
description occurred between nine
and ten O'Clock yesterday morning in
the bar mill of the Lochiel iron
works, In the fr-t ward, this city.
An eye witress furnishes the follow
ing account: james Reese, aged
fourteen years, has for some time
past been employed, with his father,
at the Iochiel works. Yesterday
morning he came 70 the works to re-
lieve a young compaui9n who had
been on he night turn OF the last
run or heat Of metal lie had finish
ed his work, il was thought, and
reached for his coat hanging Overthe
rolls on the same train at which be
was engaged. The s]uppositioa is
that his foot slipped and that the
body fell forward and while striking
out with bis arms one Of them was
caught, which carried him into and
through the roll, through q space,
we understand, only three and one
half inches in thickness. A cry Of
terror from the unfortunate lad at
tracted the attention Of the workmen,
who, upon looking around saw the
body Of Reese on the other side
of the rolls and one of the arms just
disappearing. The engine was speedi
~ stopped and upon examination II
was found that the lad had been
fearfully mangled-his arms, head
shoulders aud body giving eyiden c.
Of his horrible end. 1t was fount
necessary to raise the rolls before tht
body could be, %extricated. The coro
ner was notified Upoa the %arriva.
Of Mr.. Porter a jury was empaGeled
who rendered q verdict in accordance
with the above facts.
The body Of young Reese va:
taken to his home, on the emiAencC
above Eleventh street, opposite th'
works. Mr.. TatGall, the superintend
ent, caused all manner Of business 20

the accident occurred. Reese was
very worthy and industrious youn:
man, and was a great help to hi
parents. who naturally we're over
