FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE IMPERIAL CROWN.
Wc arc sorry to have to record another fatal accident which occurred last night in the Imperial Crown. A man named William Formau (lately working in the Tweedside claim) was employed running the trucks in the forty-foot level, and from what we have heard, must have slipped in pushing the truck into the cage, aud fell a distance of sixty feet. Dr. Croft was on the spot shortly after the accident occurred, but his services were of no avail, as death must have been instantaneous.
