MAN WAS KILLED
 AT POWDER WORKS
B. 3, Baggett Lost His Life in
 an Explosion
BODY BURNED TO A CRISP
John Goodlet Was Seriously Burned. He Had Sufficient Presence of Mind to Jump From TrestIe
 Into a Creek

Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn- ing. there was another fatal explosion at the plant of the Birmingham Powder works at Boyles' Gap, about five miles north of the city. on the line of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad.
 R. B. Baggett was killed and John Goodlet was seriously injured
 Like the explosion which occurred at the same works on July F last, the acei- dent occurred in what is known as the corning room, where the corning mill is operated.
 Goodlet's Presence of Mind.
 Baggett and Goodlet were the only men at work in this department at the time, and had been adjusting a belt on the ma chine. Goodlet had started to leave the building and was in fact just going out of the door when the explosion took placa He was badly burned and started to run along the tramway which leads from til1s department to the other buildings of the plant. After going about hundred feet he jumped from the trestle into a small creek which runs under the trestie at that point, and rolling over in the water smothered the flames. In making the jump he broke his right ankle and sus- tained other injuries. He was resting as easily as could be expected under the cir cumstances last night and at St. Vincents 8 hospital, where he was taken shortly after the accident by Warner & Smileys ambulance, it was said that he stood a good chance of recovery, although his injuries are very serious.
 8ageett's Funeral.
 The funeral of R. B. Baggett will take place at 10 o'clock this morning from his late residence on the Tennessee road near the Louisville and Nashville cross ing at Boyles.
 The cause of the accident is not known positively. but 1t is believed that the rollers in the corning mill became over heated and ignited the powder The corning mill is the machine which forms the powder into grains.
 Burned to Crisp.
 The building in which the fire origi- mated was completely destroyed and as a consequence the body of Baggett was burned to a crisp. The fact that this building is widely separated from the other buildings prevented general con- migration of the plant.
