A shocking accident happened at the
Brush Heap mine at Kingston, on the evening
of the 12th inst. Richard Joy and William
Hutchens, two miners, were blown to pieces
by the explosion of fifteen sticks of giant pow-
der. The explosion occurred 150 feet under
ground, and how the accident happened will
never be known, as the only witnesses to the
mishap were blown into eternity. Both were
young men, neither being over 21 years of age.
The funeral took place in Kingston on Thursday
of last week, and was one of the largest ever
seen in the mountain city. The deplorable oc-
currence has cast a gloom over the entire com-
munity. Both the victims were the main support
of their mothers and sisters.
