/ CuLrABTE-0n Monday last tire agent Of Adams
Express Company, in this city, received box,
marked merchandise, for some party in this sec
| ton, and while il was being transferred from the
wagon TO the store it exploded, and the contents
were scattered in all directions with terrific force.
/ Luckily, they did not come in contact with any
one, or we would have to chronicle very serious
accident as the box contained highly combustible
matter, acids, etc That such goods should have
| been marked merchandise, proves intention on
the part of the shipper to perpetrate q swindle
upon the company, if not worse, for everybody
knows that the Express Company will not take
such dangerous freight We hope the offender
will be traced out and punished as he deserves.
