DISASTROUS EXPLOSION.
Three Men Seriously Burned at
the Top Mill Yesterday
BY FLYING MOLTEN CINDER.
One ofthem may Lose His Life, while
the other two will by Laid up for
Some Length of rimc-Char-
actcr of the Mishap.

A disastrous explosion occurred at
$3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning, in the
pudding department at the Top mill,
by which one young man was fatally in
jured and two others seriously burned.
The explosion was OF a peculiar char
acter. William Meass, u young man en-
ployed about the furnace, was wheeling
hot Stag in one 1.-THE two-wheeled boxes,
with slipping sides, called "buggles, -"
when he tipped the tongue little too
high and the molten cinder began to run
out OF one corner upon the ground. AS
the ground was little wet, Mears real
lied the danger Of an explosion, and in.
stead OF letting down the tongue and
moving on, as he should, helm hisfrlght
let go OF the handle, and the buggy
tipped over and spilled all the liquid fire
upon the damp ground.
The mass lay for a moment, and then
with an explosion us loud rs that OF u
cannon, flew in stream in several dil-
ferent directions.
Mears was badly burned about the
head and body. Henry Neihaus, man
aged 30. who lives on Coal street, was
also burned badly on the face, head and
body, and his eyes were severely njured:
Joseph Myles, boy of 10, son Of
Jere Myles, was more seriously injured
than either OF the others Hisleft eye was
burned entirely out and ghastly hole
left in its place, while his right eye was
almost AS bad and will be useless for
life, even il the boy should recover, OF
which there is little hope. Myless
clothes were entirely burned from his
body, and the skin blackened and the
flesh literally roasted in places. He was
an awful spectacle, and his agony was
pitiable. He was removed to his fathers
home at No. 96 Coal street, and Drs. Il:
Baird and Ulrich were summoned and
did what they could to ease his pain.
They gave the family no encouragement
10 hope that the boy would recover.
Young MyIes was good, steady boy,
and is highly spoken OF by those who
know him.
Drs. Baird and Ulrich also dressed the
wounds OF Neihaus and Meats, both
of whom will recover, though they will
have Il long and painful siege With their
burns.
MyIes was still living at last accounts
last evening, but his death was mo-
mentarily expected.

LAST SUNDAYS EXPLOSION.


The InJared-ClIck's Homnins-whnt SIR.
MoCann Says.
A gentleman from near the scene OF
the Long Run explosion OF last Sunday
was in the city yesterday. He says not
piece OF the body OF the boy Click has
been found which would weigh over an
ounce and a-half. Capt. T. X. Mccain,
one OF the contractors for the building OF
Long Run tunnel, was in Martins Ferry
yesterday, and from him were CLEANED
some further particulars in regard to the
disaster, which in some respects had
been incorrectly reported. Having prob
ably passed through more explosions
than any living man, Mr.. MCCaRn has
had considerable experience. in matters
Of this kind, and always takes special
precautions in the handling Of dangerous
explosives.
The powder house Was about two
hundred yards from the mouth OF the
tunnel, and the boy named John Click,
10 years of age, who had been with sew
eral parties in the vicinity, was employ
ed by Miller n Mccain to carry tools
between the blacksmith shop AMI the
workmen in the tunnel. He had no
charge OF the powder or dynamite, but
in company with some boys on Sunday
afternoon went to the magazine with
the evident intention Of showing what
he could do. The magazine containing
$50 kegs OF powder and 20 cases OF dyna.
mite was locked, and the men were at
or about their boarding quarters, as they
were OF course not at work.
Click pried ol'the staple which held
the hasp, and entered the building, when
the explosion occurred, ut sop. IN. 1t is
supposed that he was smoking, and that
spark ignited the powder, which cent
of the dynamite. Qwo shahties, 400 feet
away,in which lived forty negroes, were
wrecked, also the north end OF William
Longstreet's boarding shanty, where
there were some white men, The east
end of Miller & McCapn's aommissary
department was blown out. Click, OF
course, was killed; Conrad Sullivan was
seriously cut about the head John
MOnahan waa injured Blightlyi Charles
Watson, Colored, bad Il two'inch cut be.
hind the ear; George Murphy, james
Tynor and - O'Brien received
scratches. The injuries OF the Others
were eight.
Capt. Mccain had lain down on the
bed and was reading q newspaper when
the explosion occurred. He was not
thrown over the hank or injured in any
way. The loss to the contractors is
$1,000 to $1,000. Work was resumed as
usual the next day, and suffered no in
terruption by reason OF the disaster.
Between the site OF the explosion and
the tunnel were stored sixty.seyen cases
OF dynamite, which fortunately did not
90 off.
