Was Not an Explosion.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Kindly allow me through your columns
to correct the report Of the "so-called eN-
plosion" at McBain q cos Narnish
Works. Manchester. Va, which appeared
In your issue of yesterday.
There was no explosion. the kettle used
by me was being cleaned and a boy about
the works asked his brother for drink
Of water, some drops Of which must havI
fallen in the kettle that ignIted the resi-
due. and no DANCE was done the Kettle
or building.
The notice taken of II in your issue
Is misleading. as there was no varn,sh In
the kettle only residue, and a spark
would not have ignited il under any
circumstances.
Kindly give me space for this statment
Of facts and oblige,
Very truly yours,
