Doubtless headache torments more peo-

aggravated case was that of Mrs. Mary

A THRILLING ExrERIESoE.
Two Men Badly Burned by n Mysteri-
+ ous Explosion in nm Artificial Ice Vat.

Two Men BADLY Burned by Mysteri-
= ous Explosion in nm Artificial Ice Vat.
A singular accident, which nearly
cost two men their lives, occurred yes
terday morning at the works OF the
Diamond Ice Company, Thirteenth
and Lombard streets. Joseph Kirkley,
who Is employed by the company as
an engineer, and james Kennedy, q
painter, were at work painting the in
terror OF large vat, which Is about
feet deep and 15x3 feet In Dimensions.
This vat Is used for running the water
Into before it Is frozen, and the bot
tom is made OF heavy pine. planks,
while the sides are constructed OF what
is known as boiler iron.
Tho sides of the watts must be paint
cd with heavy double paint before
they are used, in order to make them
last as long as possible. This thick
black paint Is. patent mixture and
has been used by tho company for
nearly year without experiencing
any dangerous results. 1t had been
frequently noticed that sitting odor
usually arose from the paint when 1t
was being freshly applied to the watts.
When Kennedy was about to COM
mence work yesterday morning, Pre5i-
dent Pusey advised him not to go
down in the vat, but to take a long
handled brush and paint from the top.
The man tried this plan for a while,
but finding that he could not SEQ to do
the work properly, he secured ladder
aud descended to the bottom of the
vat. He had not been down there long
when he called to Joseph Kirkley, the
engineer, saying that he was experi-
encing peculiar sensation from the
effects of the chemicals, and added:
ut is putting me to sleep. Come down
and try It,"
Kirkley went down the ladder but
had scarcely reached the bottom OF
tho vat when an explosion took place
and the entire interior was in flames.
Both men rushed for the ladder, but
were caught by the flames before they
could reach the top. Kennedy, who
was ahead pulled his companion up,
but the clothes of both men were on
fire, and before the burning garments
could be removed they were both
badly burned about their faces, necks
and arms. Tho men were removed to
their homes as soon as possible, where
they were attended by DR.. j. Ii. Nor
gan.
The cause OF the explosion is mys-
tery,as there was no fire or light about
the vat, neither were the men smok-
ing. The explosion was accompanied
with a rumbliny sound, but did not
mako q loud report.
