the proceedings from Smiths bridge,
say the men were blown away from the
cannon along the surface of the ground,
while several others strenuously affirm
that the bodies were hurled high into
the air.
VIII Bruton, coIored man, who was
hundred rods away at the time of the
accident. says the men were hurled IN
all directions; many of them twenty
five and thirty yards. Charles Wynn,
who was an eyewitness, affirms that
many were lifted high into the air and
deposited on all sides.
None of those who were around the
cannon can give better description than
those who saw it from distance, and
many of them are able to tell nothing
that took place after the explosion.

BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.

!, All the morning there had been a
number of men and boys in and about
the stores near Buttrick's old machine
shop, popping fire-crackers, laughing
joking and having a generally good
time. About 10 o'clock the number be
gan to increase and near II quite a
crowd had congregated in the West End
Racket store, owned by Joe Suddenth
Some mention was made of firing the
old cannon which had been used upon
similar occasions for years. Finally
fifteen or twenty of the boys agreed to
club together to buy can of powder,
and have a regular cannonading. The
necessary amount was raised and Il
twenty-five pound key was purchased
Then the boys proceeded to the hill
to enjoy their sport. In the meantime
the crowd kept getting larger until they
reached the top of the hill, when there
must have been nearly hundred in all.

Shortly after the accident Gazette
reporter interviewed four or five of the
badly wounded men. In the main de-
tails their statements are about the
same Most Of them at the time of the
accident were too much shocked, blind
ed by the explosion and busy putting out
the fire ON their garments, for it seems
that the clothes of all present caught, to
take notice of what was going on around
them. Neither are they able to give
with any degree of accuracy the dis
tances they were blown. All those who
were Immediately around the gun were
hurled some distance, and a few are
sure they were hoisted into the air.
Burgess Gowan, who was standing a
few feet to the side Of the cannon and
who was badly burned, says he remem-
bers tremendous flash, and the next
he knew he was picking himself up
forty or fifty feet away, and trying TO
put out the fire in his clothing. He
was able to walk and hurried to the
branch to put out the fire in his clothes
and to wash.
One little fellow was sure he saw a
man blown high over his head.
