A Gas Explosion. Chambersburg
Herald of Friday says: Yesterday morn
ing when the foreman of the furnace
was ready to cast he notified the en-
| gineer of the fact. AS there was too
| heavy an accumulation OF gas, the
engineer should have notified the filler
at the top, who would have dropped the
bell and allowed the extra gas to pass out
at the hopper. Instead of that he saw
what was coming and skedaddled into
the engine room just in time. The gas
rushed down the pipes to the boiler and
exploded. The bricks and dust flew in
all directions and the shock was plainly
felt by the people living square away.
A mass of smoke shot twenty feet above
the smoke stack of the flour mill. No
body seemed anxious to fool around the
concerns, but by opening up the stack
all danger was removed and the slight
damages were repaired. Those who
were in the immediate neighborhood
said that it felt like the shock of an
earthquake.
A Monster Worm.-The Miffiin Demo-
crat &c Register says; VIM. A. Patton,
young man twenty-five years old, and
a son of Thomas Patton, of Spruce Hill
twp, left his home last fall and located
at Great Bend, Kansas. Az the time he
left this county his health was bad.
Since living in Kansas he continued
growing worse until within the past
three or four weeks, when he went and
consulted a physician about his case.
The doctor informed him his sickness
was caused from tapeworm, and treat
ed him for the same. He required Mr..
Patton to fast forty eight hours, mot
allowing him to eat particle of food,
after which he took dose of medicine
as prescribed by the physician. He
took the medicine at 6 o'clock in the
morning and by 6 o'clock in the even.
ing, sixteen feet of the worm had passed
from him in sections, shortly after
which time twenty-four feet more of the
worm came from him at one time, max
ing the entire length of the worm forty
feet. His father received a letter from
him last week informing him of the
above facts. The letter further stated,
that since he was rid of the huge mon
ster, he felt like a newborn man had a
Y good regular appetite, and was growing
in weight rapidly. The above informa.
tion we received direct from Mr.. Thomas
Patton, who was in our town ON
Wednesday last.
