Isanih Cates, married, of Coalport,
was slightly injured.
Ro far as could be obtained the par.
ticulars of the accident are as follows:
A portable sw mill had been put into
a smail tract of woodland near Fiyn-
ton, the purpose being to cut op the
timber preparatory to its being shipped
to the marke. Flynton is a small
village oni the line of the Cresson &
Trvons rifiroad. The mill was owned
and operated by J. A. Burgoon, and
there were these men omployed on
the work: ldsiah Gutes, his son Frank,
Deawetrivs Motiough, all of Coalport,
and Harry Burgoon, son of the owner,
residing pear SL Augustine,
All of the employes were in the mill
when the holler suddenly exploded
with awl force, instantly killing three
of the men, injuring the fourth, and
blotting the mil to atoms. The noise
of the explosion was so great as to be
heard a distance of thove miles. Those
whi iret came opon the scene of the
accident conld find few remains of the
mill. Its parts had been scattered to
the four paints of the compass. The
bodies of the three desd men were also
horribly mangled, and pieces of flesh
and clothing were strewn for one
hundred or more yards about the place
of the'disuer. An idea of the force
of ibe explosion may be formed when
it ini stated that a part of the body of
unfortunate Demetrios MoGough was
found in the swinging top of a tree

While the cacse of the accident is
