CHARLESTON.
from our own correspondent.)
A lamentable accident occurred at Mount Pleasant on Wednesday to a miner named Edwin Goodall. Ho and one of his mates, named Pratt, were working underneath a high face, putting in a set of rails for a tramway which ran from a shoot to convey the cement from the claim to the machine. Pratt left to cook the dinner, and in a few minutes a quantity of earth fell down, covering Goodall. His mates obtained assistance to dig him out, and upon doing so found him smashed and mutilated in a frightful manner. His body was carried into town, and laid in Mrs Webber's Post Oiiice Hotel, where Mr Broad held an inquest on Thursday at four o'clock. Deceased was a native of Gloucestershire, and had been married a few months previously. His funeral took place at two o'clock on Friday.
