EYES SHUT
WITH METAL.
Slight Explosion at Dry Docks
Covered EmpIOye with
Coating of the Stuff.

James Slorash, IN employe of the
Perth Amboy Dry dock Company, had
assnarrow escape from severe burning
this morning. The man was pouring
melted babbit metal into the stern
bearing of q vessel and it exploded,
covering him completely with the
metal. He was taken to DR.. II. NJ.
Brace, with his eyes closed by the
liquid combination. Upon examina-
ton it was found that he was only a
little blistered. His hands were pro-
tected bv gloves and a workingl suit
over his other clothes saved his body
This protection and the force of ex-
plosion saved him from serious burns.
The mans eyes were glued together
and it was necessary to remove a great
quantity of the lead-like preparation
before he could sec. Some of the fly
ing metal got under his cap and it
was fastened to his head as if by
nails. His mustacne and face had a
fine coating of the stuff. His clothes
were also covered.
Rabbit metal is very bright and the
man with his eyes shut and all of the
fAont of his body covered with a sill
very coating, presented a very odd
spectacle.
The explosion was caused by the
little air vents from the bearing be-
coming clogged. The expansive force
! &c the confined air and gas caused the
OK losion. The propeller was not
injured.

BROWN CASES
CONSIDERED.
Justice Fort Warns Grand Jury
Of the Secrecy of their
Proceedings.
.SbeeiaL To tie Egening Meas.

New Brunswick, Dec. 9:-The
Grand Jury yesterday considered the
several cases against John Brown.
who was arrested at Perth Amboy
some time ago, charged with many
thefts, testimony being given by
Officer Huff and others.
Justice Fort, in charging the jury,
told them to be very careful to keep
their deliberations secret. He said
they had no right by oath, affidavit or
otherwise to make known their doings
and that one of the unpleasant things
they had to contend with was the i'm
portunities of persons who tried to
influence them to indict or not indict
parties they were interested in. The
Justice doubtless had in mind the
Lamar case in Monmouth county.
