An explosion occurred in the Mt.
terday. when three men were badly in
jured. Their names are Michael Flynn,
Thomas Burke and Thomas Tighc.
All three were engaged In blasting
and had filled a bored hole with pow
der. Flynn was tamping the powder
and his companions were preparing to
move to n place Of safety when the
charge was exploded.
Before they had time 10 escape the
lying rock and coal submerged them.
and all suffered frightful injuries.
Flynn's both eyes were burned out and
his hand was blown off. and he also
suffered internal injuries. Burkes head
was cut in several places and Tighe's
face was badly cut.
The injured men were removed to
their boarding place at 50? North
Bromley avenue. where Drs. Hall and
Raymond attended them. Flynn suf-
fered intense pain ana is disfigured
almost beyond recognition. After be"
ing cared for as we'll as possible, he
was removed to the Lackawanna hos.
pital. He is a single man, about 25
years of age. and formerly resided in
Wilkes Barre
Burke and Tighe are married men,
Their injuries were trtiing compared

evening that in all probability all will
| recover, but the extent of Flynn's in
Jurics cannot be determined at present.
