Two men were killed in an accident at the Niddrie Pit, Midlothian. They were engaged in getting ready a steam-pipe when they were overcome by the intense heat. One of them (Thomas Banks) was suffocated, and the other (Thomas Keary) became unconscious, and, falling to the bottom of the shaft, was killed.
