INNOCENT LOOKING BARREL
explodes, Injuries Bangor Man and
Causes $500 Blaze.

Bangor, Me. Nov. S.-Georgc a..
Prescott, Il blacksmith of 519 Main
street, was rolling an empty asphalt
um barrel, which had once contained
black varnish, along the basement of
the four-story brick building at liz
Exchange street. occupied by the
Peavey Mfg. Co, shortly before 10
O'Clock, Wednesday morning. Pres
colt had a lighted lantern in his hand
and, suddenly, there was an eNplo-
sion which shook the entire building
and caused the occupants of other
buildings in the vicinity to come run
ming to their doors.
The right shoulder and sleeve Of
Prescott's coat was blown almost
completely off by the force of the
sudden eutrush of flames. His arm
end shoulder and the right side of his
neck and face were painfully burned
He was not injured so severely, how
ever, but what he was able to walk
unaided to a physicians office. where
he received medical attention.
The flames spread rapidly and an
alarm of fire brought the members OF
the fire department in short order
Had it not been for the promptness
with which they responded it is like
~ that the fire would have been a
bad one. The flames shot up the real
of the building to the second story
~ c'h'af Mason and his men sue
ceeded in checking them there. There
was pile of shavings which cam
from the cant dog handles which tn
f>eavey co. manufactures ON the sec
ond story and there were also som'
empty oil barrels about. But the firt
WAS kept from them and was soor
under control.
The damage to tile building, which
is owned by Pope d. McKinnon
amounts to about $500 The loss is
fully covered by insurance. The dam
age to the Peavey Co. machinery and
stock is not large.
