wagon in the Kinzua district, in the Brad
ford field, and was finally blown up like
most of the "well shooters" Nothing was
ever found of France but one knee-cap,
picked up 200 feet from the scene of the ex-
plosion.
George Dolan was carrying two or three
cans of nitro-glycerine in bag through the
outskirts of Red Rock, q town in the Brad
ford field. He fell and the glycerine ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion knocked
down several houses, and all that could be
found of Dolan was part of one foot, weigh
ing less than pound. He was man who
weighed over 200 pounds.
An extraordinary case was that of Charles
Berridge, who was killed by an explosion
in the Allegany, N. Y, oil field. He was
standing in a gulch, the sides of which were
abrupt, and not many feet apart. A nitro
glycerine magazine exploded near him and
less than ten pounds of his flesh could be
found. The ground, at the time of the ex-
plosion, was covered with new-fallen snow,
and. although the body was so nearly annihi-
lated, not single drop of blood stained the
snow. The body of Berridge, except tae
ten pounds that were found, had disappeared
somewhere, no one could tell where, as
there was no mark on the snow anywhere
in the vicinity to give any clew. Berridge
was a prominent oil producer and diligent
search was made for his remains.
The number of deaths in the oil country
from these explosions will probably reach
IS or 100. Near Scrubgrass, below Oil
City, two men were killed in one explosion,
and all the remains that could be found
were buried in cigar box. A man ON the
opposite side of the river was badly stunned
by the force OF this explosion. The men
were pumping a well and finding hidden in
the woods near the well a can containing
what they supposed was lard oil they put
some of it on the engine to lubricate it.
The explosion of course followed i'm
mediate1y.
The recklessness of men who handle nitro
glycerine, is often remarked. France, whose
death is noted above, at one time had an
assistant in hauling nitro-glyceriEe, and
their mode of unloading the wagon was to
toss the cans to each other as if they were
bricks. Each one knew that the failure to
catch can meant instant death, but they
took the chances. The use of nitro-glycerine
has been the means of adding greatly to the
petroleum output. The increase, on ac-
count of it, is placed at many millions ol
barrels.

therefore, was not subject to its terms. This
claim is, of course, untenable, but is inter-

: The Ball Corset has soft
eyelets. Soft eyelets are
loops of corset lace stitched
into the corset; softer,
smoother, pleasanter, neater,
more womanlike than metal.
The Ball is the easiest ever
worn by woman. The ease
is due to covered coils of fine
wire spring in the sides:
These springs hug the figure
gently, and yield with every
little strain.
The Ball is "boned" with
Kabo that never breaks or
kinks or rolls up or shifts
from its place.
You can wear a Ball corset
two or three weeks; and, if
you don't like it, return it to
where you got it and get your
money back. The manufact-
urer pays the merchant to do
that.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

In compliance with the act of the last
Legislature NAL FINGER, Superintendent
Of schools, is having a Teachers Institute
held in many counties in the State this
ummer PROF CHAs. d. MClvER and
PROF f. A. ALDERMAN have been en-
ployed permanently TO hold these instl-
tutes For few weeks this summer
PRuFs E F. MOSES, NJ. G.. S. NOBLE, and
J. !. JOINER are holding institutes. The
news that comes to US is that these insti-
tutes are largely attended by the teachers
of the several counties and that great and
lasting good is accomplished. The great
need In public education is efficient teach
ers and if the institute conductors can in
-pre public school teachers with greater
diligence in study and increased desire
for knowledge they will do a work of in
calculable value to every man in the State.
The only hope Of educating the people
lies in efficient public schools.
The editor Of the CHRONICLE was in
Ienoir Que day during the session Of the
Caldwell County Institute which was con
duCted by PROF. CHAs. u. MclVER
Eghty-three teachers were in attendance
and they all seemed deeply interested and
glad Of the opportunity to be aided ID their
difficult and important work. Besides
the teachers who attended regularly there
was good attendance of the intelligent
and substantial citizens of Caldwell coun-
IT, In addition to the lectures OF Mr..
McIvER on every topic that concerns
teaching, there were lectures given by
PROP RoBT. ROUND, DIR. A. A. KENT, and
DR. 4. L. BEALL, and instruction in elo-
cution by MRS G. D. MCIvER- We have
no doubt that the weeks work ip this
Institute made an impress that will be
felt for years to come in the public schools
OF Caldwell county. The Lenoir Topic
speaks in terms of high praise Of Mr..
AciyER's address on the subject OF Public
Education.
