Joseph COOK, iron moulder, while at work in Abrams & Kerr's foundry on Monday afternoon, in carrying a ladle of moulton iron, stumbled and fell. The hot metal splattered his face and eyes burning him badly and rendering him totally blind. Dr. Andrews dressed the wounds. Cook has a wife and one child.
