TWO BURNED WORKMEN MAY DIE, SAY DOCTORS
Andrew Blazis, aged twenty-three, of 1729 Nay Aug avenue, a laborer, and Anthony Grinski, aged twenty-five, of 414 Courtdale street, Dunmore, a miner, who were burned by an explosion of gas in the Manville mines of the Lackawanna Coal company, Friday morning, are in a serious condition in the Moses Taylor hospital.
The explosion was caused when four men walked into a pocket of gas with a naked lamp. Two of the men were only slight burned and after being treated at the hospital went home.
