SEVERELY SCALDED.- We record the
first accident of the season at our Canning
House and with the exception of a severe
cut received in the hand by daughter o.
Mr. +, Ungcr last season, the first since
it began operations. On Saturday morn
ing last, Mr.. John Harman, ono OF the
eappers was practicing some athletes, by
balancing himself on his hands on the edge
of one of the exhaust tubs, that was about
half full of boiling water when he lost his
balance and fell in. He WAS promptly cX-
tricated by several Of his fellow workmen
but was of ooul Sc badly scaded. His right
arm, side and leg were immersed IN
the boiling water, having fortunately sue
ceeded in keeping his head out. lie was
taken home and medical aid summoned
He will probably suffer for several weeks
hut with care, his case viii not be dan
gerous one 1t is probable that this bit OF
experience wiz teach caution TO al The
aoIkmen.
