The Blasting Accident.

♦ *~~~ Effects of Forgetfuluess. Sydney, October 21 At the inquest a rather sad incident related. A man named O'riullivan, §Tho put-in tlie charge, was working through to meet McNamara, the Deceased. As the men came nearer it "was necessary to warn each other. When the charge whs about to be fired O'JSullivan forgot to give the signal. He remembered the omission after he had got some distance away and ran back, but dropped hiscandle, and then becoming confused rushed away and ran into the tunnel at the other end. O'Sullivan, who assisted to carry out life dying mate, has been committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter.
