FRIGBTPUL ACCIDENT.
Explosion Of Gunpowder Under Most
Peculiar Conditions, Causes
Serious Injuries.

Alliance, March 1O.-(Speoial. FLAMES
Carson, a miner aged AZ years, was dan
gerously injured in an explosion at the
coal mines Of Alorz 20 NJ. Carr, near this
place, Thursday. The accident was
singular one. Carson was showing an
empty car into tie civern. In the bed Of
the onr stood huge bottle OF gun owder
and miners pics. The forward truck
jumped the track and the jnltiug caused
the pick to fall against the bottle, shat
tering the 81 IS receptacle and releasing
It's explosi contents. At this junctuIe
Carson's cap fell, the little mining lamp
lighting directly in the midst Of the heap
If powder. The explosion which fol-
lowed shattered the coal Car into frag-
ments, tore mp quantity of track and
blew down several good sized pieces Of
slate from tie roof Of the mine. How
Carson escaped Is inexplicable. His hair,
must lcbe and eyebro SIS were singed off,
his face taily burned, his breast pain
fully fcorched and his hands and arms
literally cooked. He groped his way
through dense clouds Of smoke to the
tiase Of the main shaft and climbed the
ladder. AS Carson emerged from the
opening he presented ftightful specta-
Gle. Physicians believe he will recover.
