Colliery accident.
Yesterday evening a miner named Edward Roddy, employed at the Denaby Main Colliery, living at the new buildings, Denaby Main, was admitted into the Doncaster infirmary suffering from a fracture of his thigh bone. Whilst working in the pit during the afternoon some coal fell from the face of the bank and threw him down to. He is progressing as satisfactory as can be expected
