Blown to atoms by dynamite.
Three lose lives on James Bay Railway construction.
A despatch from Dunchurch, Ont., says: Rock Foreman Peter Morrisey, his son, William Morrisey, and a young Italian assistant were blown to atoms on Tuesday evening by an accidental discharge of a dynamite blast on the James Bay Railway construction. The accident occurred on the Jamieson contract, about 36 miles from Parry Sound, and a few miles from the scene of the dynamite explosion a month ago, when four men lost their lives. The home of the two Morriseys was in Nova Scotia.
