Two Men Shockingly Injured.

Two men, named Webb and Chambers, who were employed in blasting operations near Conisborough yesterday, sustained serious injuries, and were admitted to the Doncaster Infirmary.

Webb lost both his hands, and Chambers was badly injured in the eye and on the forehead, and also sustained a fracture of the hand.

The men are being attended to by Dr. Willey, resident surgeon at the Infirmary, and hopes are entertained of their recovery, though one of them has been under chloroform, and his condition is critical.
