hind-Perils of its Manufacture and
Observation-Disclosures Incidents.
Since the expiration of the Roberts oil
well torpedo patent, which was the only
torpedo with which oil wells could be
legally shot, and out of the patent on
which Dr. Roberts made fortune Of
several millions Of dollars, manufactures
Of nitro glyccrine have come into exist
cnCc in great numbers in the oil regions,
and are now scattered in anything but re-
assuring proximity To many towns and
villages. one of the most extensive
nitro glycerine factories in the world is
located between Warren and kinzua.
At this factory they make 10000 pounds
Of the deadly explosive every day, and
score of magazines are distributed about
the country for the storage of the stuff,
which is ready canned for use in the
wells.
CONSTANT ANTICIPATION.
These magazines are supplied by
wagons from the factory, and while mod
ern appliances and legal enaCtmemts have
greatly decreased the terrible casualties
that once characterized the transpOrta-
tatIOn of nitro-glycerine about the cOun-
try in this way. they are still frequent
and frightful enough To keep the com
muuities in which they occur in a state of
constant and fearful anticipation of their
repetition. The wagons in which these
cans of nitru-glycerine are carried to the
magazines. and i'm turn to the wells that

that the passage over the rough roads Of
the region would otherwise make liable
at any moment, and which might explode
a can and anuihilate all within sound of
il. Under the cans zinc tray is fitted so
that any leakage cannot reach the aXles.
In the early days Of nitro glyCerine trans
pOU;atiOu this preCautiOn was not taken,
and it WAS common occurrence for the
acid To leak from the cans, drop on the

were blown to atoms in that way, before

The lower Pennsylvania and Ohio oil
districts are supplied with nitro SlyCcrine

gheny and Ohio rivers The boats are
stiletto shaped craft, 30 feet in length and
4 feet wide They are loaded with 10000
pounds of nitro-glyCerine each and
manned by two men. \ collision be
tween one of these boats and other craft
on the river would be followed by hOrri-
BILE consequences, and they are given Il
wide berth. The men who run the nitro
glycerine boats are instructed to tie up
wherever night OyertakeS them, and not
To run minute after it gets dark. The
men, a. may well he imaSiued, are with
ont fear, and manage their dangerous
craft with nouChalance and independ-
ence that is a source Of perpetual terror
To the crews of ordinary boats, and To the
citizens Of towns 10y which the deadly
cargOeS are run.

/. 4 MARROW ESCAPE.

On one occasion the crew Of a nitro
glycerine boat was Overtakcn by dark
ness at a lonely spot in the woods The
night WAS cold and the men were hungry,
and they decided to keep ON until they
reached the village of Brady'S Bend,
which was three or four miles further
down stream IL was a dark night. and
when they were within mile Of the
town they came suddenly in sight of the
dark form of raft not more than 100
feet ahead Of them. They had only time
to shout 10 the men on the raft To jump,
for a collision seemed inevitable As
they shouted to the raftsmen the men on
overheard and put Us much distance as
they could between themselves and the
expected explosion, with little hope Of
escaping with their lives at that
The men on the raft did not under
stand or appreciate their danger, as they
could not see that torpedo boat was
bearing down upon them. The raft,
moreover, was being pulled in TO shore
to tie up for the night The nitro-glycer-
inc boat came up gently alongside of it,
straight ahead, and Scraped along its edge
as it passed ON down. The moment il
came along side the raft the pilot saw
what the craft was and that il had been
abandoned by its crew. The frightful
consequences that must inevitably ensue
II the boat went down on the river with
no one TO guide it struck the pilot at
once and plunSinC from his raft he swan
swiftly after the boat, caught up with it,
boarded il, and ran il safely ashore and
tied il up. The men who belonged to
the boat, fearful that the citizens of
the place would lynch them, did not put
in an appearance at Brady's Bend, and
have not been seen in the oil regions

I.LOkl -. textile workers. In these
two cases organized labor kept making
demands that the employers could not
grant without detriment to their business
and the surrender Of their rights aS citi-
zens. This brought about organization of
employers. But happily these two
difficulties have been adjusted. But ne
tendency of meeting organization with or
ganization remains. The organization
now beginning in New York, is on a much
grander scale and is destined to become
widespread, and will enlist on its side
lovers of justice and fair play everywhere

DAY DISPATCHES.

CHICAGO, Ills. March 1.-The Nc
cormick reaper works resumed opera
.ions this morning, three hundred and
fifty men reporting for duty. Great
crowds were in the vicinity of the works
carly in the morning, and to their pres
once IL ascribed the fact that larger
number did not apply for work, through
fear Of intimidation. A large force Of
police were on hand to preserve order,
and arrested three or four men who
were noisy and aggressive. Large num-
bsrs Of workmen had appeared carrying
their dinner pals, but were taken in
charge by the strikers and great many
were prevailed upon to remain outside.
Large crowds Of the strikers lined Blue
Island avenue, facing the works, with
the evident intention Of intimidating
any men expecting to get work and
finally the police ordered them back.
They we're slow to move at first, but
when the order to disperse came sec
ond time and the officers advanced they
turned an d ran across the prairies, scat
tering in all directions. The Dispersal
of tho crowd restored confidence to the
minds of the wavering ones who had
been prevented from entering at first.
and they started hurriedly for the
works. The police arrested twenty
men for creating disturbances. one OF
whom was making aspeech advocating
that the strikers use their revolvers and
shoot any ono entering the yards. They
were taken to the police station and all
arraigned for carrying concealed weap-
ons. Revolvers were found on their
psrsons.
