Eight persons were injured, some
seriously, and the home of Andrew
Jones, No. 607 West Jackson street,
partially wrecked last night as the re-
cult OF the explosion of a one-pound
sub-calibre shell or cartridge, which
had in some manner been placed In
the FIRE and burst with a force that
knocked the members of the house
hold down, sent fire, burning wood and
ashes in all directions and created
pandemontum for a few minutes. The
more seriously injured are Mrs. Ham
mac, whose leg was broken when the
shell struck her, and Miss Balna Ham
mac, whose clothing ignited and she
was terribly burned from her feet
almost to her breast.
The accident occurred last night
about z o'clock and created much ex-
citement in the neighborhood, the ex-
plosion being heard for some distance.
Four physicians were summoned i'm
mediately and the injured were given
medical attention and it is not thought
that any Of the injuries will prove
fatal.
THE INJURED.
Those who were wounded as a re-
suit of the explosion were as follows:
Mrs. Hammac, leg broken and badly
burned about the body and lower
limbs.
Miss Balma Hammac badly burned
rom waist down.
Chas. Hammac, a boy about l6 years
old. badly burned about the face and
hands.
Andrew Merritt, a man, face and
both hands badly burned.
Baby girl of Andrew Jones, about
four years old, left leg severly burned.
Mrs. Sam Jones, slightly burned
about face and body.
Three-year-o child OF Sam Jones.
face and hands severely burned.
Baby of Sam Jones, eight or ten
months old. both hands painfully
burned.
SHELL TEN INCHES LONG.
The brass shell which exploded was
about ten inches IN length and atout
two inches in diameter, shaped like
an ordinary cartridge, but being hol-
low at the butt end, where the powder
was placed, after which the end was
plugged, so that it presented the pp-
pearance of solid brass or iron zig
sile. The explosion was. of Coz "a,
caused from the heat of the fire ,.vd
when 1t occurred the shell was hurried
out into the room and 1t is thougTt
that 1t struck Mrs. Hammac. which
accounted for her leg being croRs1.
She was sitting directly in from; ~
the fireplace and the shell was foUnd
about four feet in front of the keni1n
When the explosion took place G5r~
and ashes were blown in every Gree
ton. and this, together with the ex-
plosion of the powder, was what
burned the others OF the party. The
house was badly damaged.
How the shell happened to be In the
fireplace seems to be a mystery. IL

Mr.. and Mrs. F. e. Trumble OF Cas-

Greenmount yesterday afternoon. after
simple and beautiful services which
were held in the First M. e. church.

she had been in failing health, and
at last an operation seemed necessary.
1t proved hopeless, yet this sweet
young girl, with q courage many older
people might admire and envy. was
brave and patient through all. trying
to cheer her family who were at her
bedside as she was slipping gradually
away from this world through the
ivory gates OF rest. Saturday night,
at 11:20, just before the new year, the
youngest child of Father Time was
born, Maude slept the sleep that
