Investigating the Explosion.


The first men to arrive at Mrs. Edwards
house after the explosion found 1t
in the condition as stated in the
Butler papers last week, and also that the
ruins of the porch were on tire-some rags
and other rubbish under the debris We're
burning, and the fire had spread up tho
shattered side of the house to the ceiling
OF the porch which was also burning.
Their FIRST duty was Ia extinguish the
flames, and they say that had they been
five minutes later, the house could not
have been saved. That is the evidence Of
Mr.. ]. n. Muntz aud one of his employee
who were first at the scene.
Now the nitro glycerine men sag that an
explosion Of the fluid will not produce fire
so it must have been the fire that produc
ed the explosion, and Mrs. Edwards was
probably trying to melt the top oil can
at the time of the explosion The ordina-
ry nitro glycerme can is made to hold nine
quarts. though but eight quarts are carried
in it. as the stuff expands. They are made
square or rectangular, are carefully solder
ed so as to prevent leakage, and have two
nozzles on top, with n handle between
them and one at the side. \ t the hearing 9
| before Esq. Walker, Mr.. Wonderly testifi-
ed that certain shooter was in the habit
of leaving empty cans in the mouth of the
| coal bank to the west of and below Mrs.
Edwards place till he stopped him The
shooter or shooters who left these cans in
Mrs. Edwards fence corner are responsible
for her death, though none of them were
called before the jury. They all have in
struetions from their employers to return
the empty cans To the magazine and in no
event to leave them out over night.
However, as the magazines are usually
placed in out of-way places, some OF the
shooters, to save little time when return
ing home late in the evening have been
hiding their empty cans. Some years ago
two young mon walking in the woods near
Parker came across a couple of cans hid in
some bushes, and one of them, not know
ing what they were, gave them kick.
The explosion killed both men. junk
dealer of Petrolia picked up piece of inch
pipe through which some nitro glycerine
ha been poured and shipped it with his
other stuff to Pittsburg. 1T was purchas
| ell by young machinest, who attempted
| to cut a piece off it with chisel one day,
| and was killed by the explosion that fol
lowed A young man from Clarion county
says that while i'll company with some
other boys they found six empty glycerine
cans in the woods, they made pile of dry
leaves and wood, put the cans on top OF
pile and then set it on fire. The explosion
that followed was immense, but the
strange part of the thing was that two of
the cans did not explode. They were
thrown off the pile and it took another fire
to explode them, and they made as loud a
a report as the other four. All vessels
which have contained the terrible fluid are
dangerous and should destroyed by
shooting into them
