GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
Building Wrecked and Two Men
Seriously Injured.

Quite a serious explosion which in
jured two men aud wrecked the pump
ing station east Of Cambria took place
Sunday evening" AS we learn them the
facts are as follows: The pumping at
the station is done with an S-horse
power engine. On Friday night the
water jacket ffoze up so the engine
could not be worked. Sunday Mr.. Nc
Elhaney, the man in charge of the
pumps, IN company with Messrs.
Beardsley and Mallory spent the day
thawing it out and fixing it. The en-
CINE Was got to work all right but the
pump would not work. Suspecting
something wrong with the piping in the
we'll torch was lit and they proceeded
to examine It, AS soon as the torch
was put down the we'll an explosion &C.
Cured throwing the men violently
against the side of the building which
was badly wrecked by the force.
Flames broke out and the building was
partially destroyed. Messrs. Beardsley
and Mallory were both seriously injur.
ee. The theory is that gasoline had
leaked from the tank into the we'll, and
the gasoline had caught fire from the
torch. The building was but slight
shed so the money loss is not great.

boy was of the bully sort, and was
much larger than Abe. One day he hit
me. 1t didn't hurt me. but it fired Abe
and he thrashed him soundly, while
| stood off and cried. l don't know
what l was crying about. Girls never
know. The boys often made fun of
Abes ragged clothes, and of his gawky
movements. Abe was awkward. They
teased him, too. because he minded his
mother. He would often cry because
they pulled at his clothes and tore
them, but he wouldn't tell his mother
for he knew it would make her feel
bad. l sometimes mended his clothes
to keep her from knowing they were
tore. l made Abe a pair OF pants once
for Christmas present. They struck
him middle always between the knees
and ankles. not like they wear them
nov, and he was proud of them, too
They were the first long pants he ever
wore.
Abe made speeches in school,
and they were good ones. too, l
thought. He always was a talker. My
father owned a slave at that time, and
Abe thought heap Of him. He was
mean negro and my father had a
great deal of trouble with him, and Of
ten whipped him. This made Abe feel
sorry for the negro. and l have al
ways believed that then was the first
time the idea of emancipation entered
his head.
ABE used to make ink out of polk
berries and sell it in school. He had
little store. He made money out of
chips.

years old. l hated to see Abe go. He
