INJURED BY A DYNAMITE CAP.
A boy named Nelson, aged fourteen whose parents reside in Wynyaidstreet, was playing with a dynamite cap yesterday, when it exploded, and blew off the tops of his forefinger and thumb, and otherwise injured both hands. It seems that he took the cap from a chest of drawers in the house, aud, uot knowing what it was, began to examine it, when it exploded in his hands. It is a wonder the injuries were not more serious. He was taken to the hospital, where Dr. Cooper dressed the wounded hands, and the boy was then taken home by his mother. —A r Z Herald.
