DAMAGES OF $4,000.
Caused ny n Broken Pulley Mt the WI
nOOski Wooden Mills.

Tho worst accident to happen at the
plant of the American Wooden company
| i'll Winooski occurred Tuesday morning
at eight O'Clock when a pulley broke,
causing a heavy damage to the com.
panys machinery The loss cannot be
estimated at present, but it will exceed
$4,000.
About eight o'clock the people OF the
village heard a terrific explosion and
many believed that il was caused by dy-
namiting rock where the addition to mill
No. 3 is being built. 1t was soon learned
that seven foot pulley in wheel house
No. suddenly gave way and broke to
pieces. This cause the wire cable TO have
no means OF connection, the result being
that 80 feet of the fve-inch shaft. which
runs from this wheel house east to an
other machine house, ran wild, until II
twisted itself into mass OF shapeless
iron causing II to snap of at each end
The iron bridge over which this shafting
ran was also torn from its holdings and
the stone pedestals were badly damaged.
Heavy pieces Of machinery broke from
their fastenings and fell to the floor OF
the wheel house, carrying destruction Ia
their path and landing on the floor 100 feet
below Outside of the wheelhouse fast.
enings on the shaft were also broken.
falling in the raceway below and on the
ground The wooden stairway which
leads along the shaft was broken TO
pieces. The wheel house itself suffered
considerable damage, big holes being stove
in the side and a piece of iron flying
through the roof. making another hole. In
the lower portion of the wheel house
valuable machinery was in working order
and this is also damaged to some extent
Parts damaged here include governors
hangers, pulleys, machine attachments
and regulator, valued at about $3.50.
Whep the pulley broke. the machinery
through the plant grinded and as soon ~
the shaft broke the machinery at both
lends continued to work until it stopped
Itself. for lack OF power. If the shaft had
broken in only one place the damage te
the machinery would have reached into
1.-THE hundreds OF thousands OF dollars. The
breaking OF the shaft prevents the mil
from being run by water power 1t will
take many weeks to repair the damage
and in the meantime steam will he useC
; to keep the plant in running operation
At the time the accident occurred no one
was in the Immediate vicinity.
