| Description | |
|
|
Tuesday, a girl, 17 years of age, named Nancy Goodhill, met her death in a pit at Little Hulton, near Darlington, in consequence of an explosion of inflammable gas. Two men were nearly suffocated by the after damp in endeavouring to rescue the unfortunate female, whose father, it appears, caused the accident by an incautious exposure of his candle. He was himself seriously burnt.
