Fearing that it was burned in under him, he pushed some fresh sawdust into it, and was crowding it down with a stick, when an explosion occured striking him in the upper part of the face, entirely blinding him. The WOOD boy got him out and led him home, from where he was at once taken to Dr. MERRIMAN's office, who, seeing the serious injury, sent for Dr. TOMLINSON.
