a NARROW ESCAPE.
Negligence in Blasting Almost
Causes Fatal Accident.

Inc force engaged in widening North
Jefferson street, yesterday morning,
hred blast which threw huge stone,
weighing four or five hundred pounds,
high into the air, and as it descended,
at least hundred and fifty wards from
the plast, 1t struck the kitchen of nj.
Rosenberg, almost demolishing tho en-
tire SIDE wall. The stove and a lot of
cooking utensils were setting against
the wall and these were overturned and
scattered around promiscuously.
AT the time the mishap occurred Mrs.
Rosenberg and four children were in
tho Kitchen and they had narrow es.
cape, for had the stone been thrown
only Tow feet further it would have
burst through the roof and ceiling with.
out any difficulty and would probably
nave resulted in serious, ii not fatal,
injuries to the occupants OF the kitchen
The debris OF the same blast struck
MIR. Hardy's residence and wrecked a
few shingles, but beyond this did no
damage worthy OF mention.
whether any one is to blame is I'M
known, but it is very certain that in
u ing explosives il blasting sufficiently
powerful to hurl Il stone the size Of this
one to such distance it is the heiChtot
negligence not to take such precautions
as TO render q mishap OF this kind i'm
possible. The city authorities went
down very promptly and inquired into
tho matter, and when it is officially in
vestigated if it is found that there was
negligence Mr.. Rosenberg will doubtless
receive naturalization for such injuries
he may have suffered.
