Flying Steel Hits Negro.

Fred Mitchell, colored, of 421 North Madison Street, was struck by a flying red-hot piece of steel while working in the Tredegar Iron Works yesterday morning, and received a five-inch gash in his right leg. He was treated by Dr. Gorman, of the City Ambulance corps, who took five stitches in the wound, and he was then taken home.

Dr. Gorman was also called to Thirty-second and Broad Streets, where a pile of paving bricks had fallen upon and hurt Neal Wood, colored, of 1315 West Moore Street. Wood was attended on the spot. He was not seriously injured.
