RECKLESS FOLLY.
A Man Puts Giant Powder in an
oven to Thaw.

- FdtS FoWueT IN an
oven to Thaw.
Yesterday afternoon man 10y the
name of Fred Boleger came into the
city i'll n great hurry to buy "A stove.
and gave an account Of another acci-
dent caused by the careless handling
Of giant powder which, as no one was
seriously hurt, is rather amusing. Mr..
Boleger stated that he lives about
seven miles east of the city on the
road to Rockford. and at present il
boarding at his house a gang of men
who are in the employ OF August Ilse,
the contractor who has charge of the
work ON one Of the new blocks going
up in this city. Yesterday this gang
of men in the course of their labors
had need of some giant powder, and in
order 10 thaw it out one of the party
put quantity OF the dangerous stuff
into the oven of Mr.. Bolegcr's kitchen
stove. The result can be imagined.
Stove and house both took trip
heavenward. Fortunately no one was
seriously injured, though Mrs. Bole-
ger and her little girl were slightly
nurt, and all present were very badly
scared. 1t is safe to predict that the
good lady in future will object to
having her oven used 20 bake giant
powder in, for the compound, like
some kinds OF yeast, has tendency
TO rise altogether too fast.
Although this incident is rather
amusing than otherwise, it is very
easy to imagine how it might have
resulted in terrible fatality, and it
goes to show the reckless manner in
which totally incompetent men are al
lowed to endan9er their own and their
companions lives. Simply because
man has handled powder for long
time, il does not follow that he is
experienced or competent.
A gentleman claiming TO be thor
oughly conversent with the compost
,ion and effects Of the explosive, in
formed reporter that right in this
city the stuff is being used with Grim
inal negligence. For instance, he
states, that he has seen men take of
the paper wrapped around a stick OF
powder and throw it away 10 blew
"poU' p''N oplSStst IL SllgnJ
conclusion would cause il to explode.
The powder is made OF mixture of
nitro glycerine and sawdust, and tine
glycerine saturltes the paper 10 such
an extent, that rocks can often be
blasted with the wrapTings
III this is true, and il certainly looks
plausible, il ls high time that meas
ures were taken by the public to pro.
tect themselves. In many cities engi-
neers are required to pass rigid ex-
animation before licenses are granted
them. Some such plan might we'll be
adopted in the case of men who have
charge Of blasting. Such measure
would save many mans life, which
is being put in jeopardy day after day
by the reckless folly Of bis boss, and
and would cause the newspa pcrs TO
fill with more cheerful matter con.
siderable space which is now devoted
70 recording the details and fatalities
Of terrible explosion.

by his efficiency and was chosen a delegate
