his helper. Matthew Smith. both resi-
dents of West Pittston. We're very Sc
riously injured, the latter probably ia
tally. while the building was quite bad
ly wrecked and every window in that
portion where the explosion took place
shattered.
Henderson and Smith were at work
Strengthening IL piston road for the
Stevens Coal company, and were heat
ing it in the fire. The rod is hollow,
and it is now thought there was some
water in it, The effect of the heat
turned this water into steam which
caused the rod to burst. the pieces fly
ing in all directions. Henderson and
Smith who We're close by, received the
full force of the explosion and was
struck by the flying metal.
Smith was struck by a large piece
and his side was torn open. Both We're
taken to the Pittston hospital. The
shock of the explosion was felt
throughout the neighborhood of the
foundry. Portions of the blacksmith
department We're so badly damaged
they will have to be repaired. The
foundry will be idle for a few days.
A half dozen other persons who were
in the blacksmith shop at the time had
narrow escapes from the dying missiles
and several of them were thrown to the
ground
