DELAYED BLAST
MAY COST LIFE
Samuel Long Seriously Injured
When Investigating Slow
Fuse at Quarry

Milton, Nov. 29.-Thinking the
fuse attached to a heavy charge cf
dynamite had gone out, Samuel
Long, aged 60, of Winfield, en-
ployed at Vance & Co.'S lime kiln
at that place, leaned over the ex-
plosive just as it ignited and was
probably fatally injured by the
flying rocks and debris.
Long. with several other en-
ployes, was quarrying limestone.
They had prepared the dynamite
and lighted the fuse but alter wait
ing for some time for the explosion
the men decided that the fuse had
gone out and went to relight it
Mr.. Long had just reached the spot
when the tardy explosion came.
A large rock struck him on the
side of the head, knocking him to
the ground SenSeleSS.
Frank Trutt, another employe at
the kilns, was about six feet back
of the injured man. He escaped
without injuries.
When the air was clear of smoke
Trutt saw Mr.. Long lying on the
ground, with blood streaming from
the wound in his head. With the
aid of the II en- at the kilns he was
removed to his home at Winfield.
Yesterday morning he was taken
to the Mary Packer hospital at
Sunbury and word from that insti
tuition today is to the effect that he
is in very critical condition with
slight chances for recovery. Sew
eral operations have been perform
ed on his head and his left side,
which was completely paralyzed by
the accident, shows slight i'm
provement today, as he can move
his fingers.
