Two Men Severely Burned.

On account of the heavy demand yesterday on the hospital ambulances the police patrol of First Station went to the Tredegar Iron Works about 4:30 yesterday and took Walter Rowe and John Christian to the hospital. Both men were fearfully burned when a rope broke and precipitated a bucket of molten iron on them. Christian was taken to Virginia Hospital and Rowe to Memorial.
