From the Morning Star and Catholic Messenger (New Orleans, LA), 7/6/1873, p. 5, c. 2

On the morning of the 30th, a terrible explosion occurred in the celebrated Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond, Va., by which several persons were killed. Had the accident occurred fifteen minutes later, the loss of life would have been very great, as 100 men are usually employed in that department.
