A THRILLING ACCIDENT occurred az the Amer
lean iron works, at PittSburg yesterday after
noon. While Robert Moore was at work ar his
rolls his catcher failed to seize with his tong3
q bar of white hot iron which had been placed
between the rolls. The iron twisted itself
thrice around the roll, forming collar The
catcher struck the iron, when there blew off a
piece in shape Of riag with stem twenty
inches long. Running of at right angles to the
circle the band flew back and fell around
Moore's head resting on mis- shoulders. Quick
as thought he grabbed the long stem with his
toDgs and the white-hot ring with his hand
and with steady nerve and gentle movement
lifted the fiery thing from his shoulders. His
face was badly burned by the heat emmitted
from the iron and the flesh Or his hand was cut
into the bone. Afterwards he put the ring over
his head. 1t was but two inches larger In d.
ameter than his head.
