Explosion and Fire In a Factory.


The explosion of a fuse, followed by
fire, in building of the Climax
Fuse company at Avon, Conn,
caused a panic among the 20 EN-.
ployes in the building and resulted in
the death Of IL persons and injur-
les that doubtless will prove fatal to
at least two others.
The town having no fire department,
there was no way of coping with the
flames which spread rapidly and In
less than an hour after the explosion
those who were unable to escape were
burned to ashes. A great crowd that
collected saw the bodies of men and
women roasting in the fire and were
powerless to even check the flames.
The exact cause Of the accident may
never be known, but 1t is believed that
In an effort to burn out a stoppage in
one of the machines James Joyce
caused an explosion of fuse with the
hot iron he held in his hand.
Those who were in the room where
the explosion occurred and who came
out of the place in condition to tell
about it say the explosion was not a
severe one and ordinarily would not
have caused panic.
Innammable material nearby, how.
ever, was set on fire and the room soon
was mass of flames. In an instant
there was a mad rush for the doors
end windows and during the scramble
many were pushed back into the build
ing, while others were severely
burned.
