Sydney, Sept. 7. An accident of a serious nature is reported from Ural. Three boys got possession of some dynamite cartridges, and while playing with them an explosion took place, with the result that two of the lads seriously injured. The third lad, a boy named Duncombe, was mutulated in a shocking manner, and expired a few hours afterwards. He had a hand blown off, and the abdomen was so terribly torn that the bowels protruded.
