other was past redemption. The two

was attributed for the strange case.
The young lady awoke few days lat

cialist said was gone forever had re-
turned, but that the other eye was no
better. There is hope now that the girl
will regain the sight of both her eyes.

HANDLED TT TWENTY YEARS
But the Deadly Explosive at Last
Caught This Man Mapping.

Louisville, Ky.-George Blue, col
ored, probably was fatally injured
by the explosion of quantity of dyn-
amite at a quarry Of the Cave Hill
Cemetery Company. No one was near
Blue when the accident occurred, and
what caused the discharge Of the ex-
plosive is not known.
Other workmen in the quarry had
left Blue, and had gone to another
part Of the quarry, 800 yards from
where the accident happened. The
loud report of the explosion attract
ed their attention, and several hur-
ried to where Blue had been left ana
found him near small fire., his body
badly mangled and his face and hands
burned. He was unconscious, and
could give no account of the acct
dent. Harry Hikes, the quarry boss,
said Blue was in the habit Of drying
the dynamite used for blasting, and
believes that he allowed the explo-
slve to get too hot or that he dropped
Illuminating cap into the fire, which
caused the explosion. There are no
buildings of any description within
several hundred yards of the quarry,
and no damage was done to. property
The quantity of dynamite which ex-
ploded was too small to cause dam
age fifty feet away.
Blue is about 40 years old, and is
single. He is miner, and had been
accustomed to handle dynamite and
blasting powder for twenty years, and
his fellow workmen say he had be-
come careless.
