William MALONEY of Steubenville, Ohio, shooter for the Ohio Torpedo Co., of Steubenville, was the victim of a disastrous and fatal accident that occurred Tuesday morning at ten o'clock near Cross Creek on the farm of the DUNBAR Bros., where had gone to shoot a well. Geo. HANST, who was an eye-witness, tells the story about as follows: Mr. MALONEY came to the well at ten o'clock and said he wanted to shoot right away. He at once commenced to make preparations. He was the only one about except Mr. HANST who was working several hundred feet away. Mr. HANST saw the shooter carry one can of nitro-glycerin from the wagon to the well and return for another. As he was lifting the second can from the wagon the explosion occurred. Whether the can slipped from MALONEY's hand or he scraped it against another leaking can Mr. HANST does not know. The shooter William MALONEY was blown into little pieces, scattered for hundreds of feet around, and Mr. HANST several hundred feet away, was thrown from his feet and knocked unconscious for several minutes. When he realized what had happened HANST made an investigation only to find that the wagon with its contents and the shooter had been torn into atoms by the explosion. Soon a crowd gathered and the excitement ran very high. The farm is a short distance from Cross Creek and the townspeople gathered rapidly at the scene of the accident. The horses, luckily, had been unhitched and tied on the other side of the well from where the explosion happened, and were not hurt with the exception of a few cuts from flying debris. William MALONEY leaves a wife. He worked for the same firm, and was a former business partner of Frank MCCULLOUGH who was killed May 10 last in a similar explosion north of Burgettstown on the TENAN farm.
