The Daily Dispatch: November 14, 1860., [Electronic resource], Fatal accident (search)
Fatal accident --A fatal accident occurred at Natchez, Miss., on the night of the 5th lust., during the firing of the cannon on the occasion of a torchlight procession. A man named Thos. Waite, who had just primed the cannon, had placed the powder flask inside his vest, but neglected to put the stopper in. The flash from the priming powder, as the cannon was fired, exploded the contents of the flask — the unfortunate man ran a few steps, and fell dead; his neck was found to have been broken.
