Fires at the Powder Works

Last Friday evening about 7'o'clock
some old powder in a building near the
shore took fire from spontaneous COM
bustion. The side of the building and
part of the roof we're blown off. The
few hundred pounds. of powder had been
in the building for some time known as
the old fort.
In the early years of the smokeless
powder plant on Carney's point a high
stone wall about four feet thick was made
and apartments were built. on two sides.
Powder was put into a lpress in one
apartment and the power operated from
the opposite side of tie stone wall. I'm
proved machinery dispensed with the
crude method some years ago.
On Tuesday evening about z o'clock
another old dry house took fire, from
spontaneous combustion and burned
down. 1t was a large house about Is by
~ ieet located at the south corner OF the
works at the turn of the road to the light
house. 1t had not been used for some
time and had little powder in it. 1t was
saturated with the dry ~combustable dust
from powder having been dried in the
building which vas of wood with rub.
beroId roofing. As a consequence it made
a big fire for nearly an hour.
The houses have been built OF late Of
sheet iron which will not take fire.
No wolkmen were near them and nc
II was injured at either fire. The exces
sive heat the past two weeks caused
the powder to burst into flames.

XIII More Than wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly by
wild beasts don't approach the vast num-
Der killed by disease germs. No life is
safe from their attacks. They're in air,
water, dust, ever food. But grand protec-
ton is afforded by Electric Bitters, which
destroy and expel these deadly disease
germs from the system. That's why
chills, fever and ague, all malarial and
many blood diseases yield promptly to this
wonderful blood purifier. Try them, and
enjoy the glorious health and new strength
they'll give you. Money back, if not sat
