HUGE PULLEY BURST.
strange and startling accident &C.
CURED at the dynamo station at High
gate early Monday morning by which con-
siderable damage was wrought. A great
foot | ron pulley in the wheel room,
weighing many hundred pounds and rum
ming at very high speed, burst with n
noise like 10 inch gun. A fragment
crashed out through the side of the build
ing and landed la the rapids many rods
| below, leaving a hole where it went out
big enough to let a man through. Other
fragments went up to the floor of the
dynamo room 20 feet above, ripping up the
hard wood flooring. The big line shaft
kept going and a section of the pulley that
remained on the hub banged away at the
heavy, 3-ply Pinch belt. Tho belt stood
the great strain a few seconds, playing
havoc with the dynamo that supplies the
commercial section of the village. When
at last the dynamo stopped jumping
around he operator in charge of the sta
ton, bounded over the big bulge in the
floor and shut off the power.
