Fatally, Near Ohesler.

Fatally, Near Chester.
OHEsrKR, Pa, May IA serious scoi-
dent occurred at Bridgewater, small
village on the Chester Greek railroad and
a few miles from this city, shortly before
noon to-day. Contractor Devlin OF Phil
adelphia, has for some time been work
ing quarry at that place, owned by
John Mullen, on shares. Quite a larse
force Of workmen are employed in the
work Of qusrrying stone. This morning
a hole had boen drilled in rock, and q
blast had been prepared by the usual
Charge of dynamite and black powder.
As is the custom, dynamite was first
placed in tho hole, black powder next
and the fuse attached and the remainder
Of the opening was filled with clay. The
fuse was ignited, but the blast did not go
of. Patrick Mcbride Of Shoemakerville
was directed to bore out the hols again,
40 as to apply new fuse. While on
gagged at this work the blast suddenly
went of, and tons of rock were hurled
high into tine air. The augur which
Mcbride was working with was carried a
distance OF nearly three squares, but,
strange to say, Mcbride escaped with but
few burns about the face chiefly, his
eyes being injured.
About 80 feet away from the opening
were number Of men at work several of
whom were more seriously injured.
Lewis Green, colored, resident Of
Edwards street, South Chester, was struck
by flying boulder and received wound
IN the aide that will likely cause his
death. By the force of the blow one Of
his ribs was broken and the latter pierced
the loft lung. The physician attending
says that he cannot live. William Stone,
living on Market street, and Thomas
Collins, also of this city, were among
those injured. The former had foot
and the latter hand badly injured.
