DoYLEsrowS. Pa sept 1? Up la Rock
hill township Bucks county, tho farmers
have had troubles Of their own II late
Jnth "a week ago they couldn't safely
e. out In their field, to tlll the soil and
gather tho crops without hrst taking out
an accident insurance policy.
The trouble all lay with the Rockhill
Industrial Company, which took thirty
ton piece, OF old steel from the big steel
construction companies and blasted them
all lp into little bits. - that they could
be worked up over again The Industrial
company made fine proAt on the johs,
although they lost good many pounds
Of metal every time they firrd a blast
They put lot 81 dynamite In the middl"
of one of these blg chunks of steel, made
el"ctrical CONNECTIONS - that tho explosive
could ba fired from .afe distance and
then lowered the metal into deep pit
Tho next step vaa 90 get all ~ the work
men safely harricau,d Then tho button
was pressed and the dynamite went oh
So did tho steel ard IL rlined pieces Of
metal weighing from four ounces up 20
twenty-five pounds all over the country
within a half-miIe radius. When a farmer
was plousliug and there Mas AZ explosion
and a tol-po4nd pi"Ce Of cold steel dropped
into the ground alongside ~ his plough ha
didn't appreciate tha disturbance.
The farmers of kockhill occasionally
take half a day of and e. fishing or rather
they used - do 50 They have stopped
for awhile. one man wa- sitting quietly
enough along lhIce-Miis Run one day
with hi- crc,l op"n beside him lie had
captur,.d four or FIVE fish and put them
la the bask"i, when suddenly an oight-
pound proicCulc fc!l into the Crcel. THIS
man hasn't been fishing since nor have his
ueIghbor-. a. It seems too dangerous an

THREE WOMEN IN DANGER.


A fire which originated in a mysterious
manner about $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing in the home of c.. r. Kennedy, 1853 Col
lege avenue, caused, for a short time. in
tense excitement and fear that three
women-Mrs. Kennedy. Miss Martha Raper
and Miss Mabel Lance-would be cremated.
They were in the upper part of the house.
and when the fire was discovered escape
by the stairway was cut off by smoke and
flames. Their screams brought many of
the neighbors to the yard, and all became
so excited that In their individual efforts
10 assist the women each hindered the
other.
The fire department appeared on the
scene in response 10 an alarm sounded from
the watch tower, and after a half dozen
persons had called for the apparatus but
failed or were unable in the excitement TO
location OF the fire. Several OF the neigh
bors got out garden hose. only 10 find them
much too short. The women were prepar-
Ing TO jump from the window when a lad
der was procured by Ed Craft. living on
Broadway, and placed against the build
ing. The women were assisted on 10 the
ladder by a young colored man who had
gone through the house 10 the room in
which they were imprisoned. In the mean
time others had been fighting the fire.
which burned slowly and caused a great
deal OF smoke. and by the time the de-
partment arrived the blaze was under con-
