| Description | |
|
|
At Netherton Colliery an oil engine appears to have run some time without exploding the contents of the cylinder which collected in the return and eventually became ignited and caused a somewhat smart explosion ; the flames appear to have burned the attendant and set his clothing on fire, and he succumbed to his injuries a day or two later.
