AcETYLENE GAS ExpLoDEs-
Due to CareIessness Much Damage
Results to Dwelling Ia Lam
caster County.

Frank Hamilton who resides in the
eastern part of Eden township. had an
acetylene gas Ii hting plant installed on
his premises, it being located about
seventy-fve feet from the house, but
nearer the barn The gas was piped
under ground from the plant to the barn
and the tobacco shed. both of which we're
connected up with the new lighting system
and pipe also ran from the plant to the
house, but which had not been connected
with piping in the house.
Wednesday evening about five O'Clock
it was planned to test the new lights at
the barn The Lancaster plumber de-
pended upon his assistant to see that the
stopcock in the cellar of the house was
closed and being assured that it was
closed he turned on the gas at the plant.
1t soon developed there was carelessness
on the part of the assistant. for instead of
it being turned off in the cellar the
stopcock was wide open and soon the
cellar was filed with the gas. 1t found
its way upstairs and soon reached the fire
in the stove which caused the explosion.
the gas in the cellar igniting.
The force of the explosion showed the
three sides of the frame house out at least
six inches at the bottom, splintering the
lumber. The door from TIE cellar to the
upstairs was torn into splinters. One of
the windows of the cellar was under the
long porch and the force of the explosion
tore the porch completely away and threw
it down in pieces in the front yard, at the
same time tearing off part of the porch
foundation wall.
The men, who were near the barn.
quickly turned off the gas at the tank.
A slight fire started in the cellar, but this
was extinguished before damage resulted.
No one was inside of the house when
the explosion occurred.
Mrs. Hamilton had just gone out the
back door on the porch. The door was
thrown against her arm, slightly injuring
her.
That night it was necessary TO pile
cornfodder around the sides of the house
in order to keep out the cold air. The
plastering was torn off in part of the
house and partitions spread apart.
Next day carpenters and neighbors as
with jacks and tools and forced
the sides of the house back into place and
started in to make the needed repairs

Court in regard to newspaper subscrip-
tions:--
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions.
If subscribers order discontinuance of
their periodicals the publisher may con-
tinue to send them until all dues are paid.
II the subscriber refuses to take the

The courts have held that refusing to
take periodicals from the postofice. or
removing and leaving them uncalled for

WELD HUGE STEEL MASSES.
Big Feat Of Kind Ever Attempted
is Tried in Maryland.


Havre de Grace on Saturday was
in the limelight again, for one Of the
greatest scientific achievements of
modern times was accomplished.
The huge iron jaw of stone crush
er, weighing more than 100000
pounds, at the plant Of the Casparis
Stone Company. was mended. "A
few months ago, under terrific pres
sure, this great steel grinder crack
cd, leaving assure Of from four to
eight inches in width. 1t was
thought by experts to be beyond re-
pair, but the Goldschmidt Thermit
Company, of New York welded it
under terrific heat.
This company has been engaged
for the last five weeks in making
mold. Then / 1 huge crucibles were
placed above it, and each was filled
with 700 pounds of thermit metal.
The jaw itself was heated for 20
hours with acetylene gas, so as to
make it ready to receive the hot steel
that would be poured into the break.
WACA SfSl yCn1u6 WAS AL T0dU1U0HS
ignition powder was placed in each
of the crucibles aud lighted. This
powder and the thermit combined
and produced a heat of 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Just Is seconds after
che powder was fred rods were pull
ed, which released the molten mass
from the crucibles, from which it
raced into the mold and filed the
assure in the broken jaw.
It will take II days for the weld
to cool, and whether the operation
will be a success or not cannot as
yet be told. The heat given off by
the operation was terrific, asbestos
boards placed about for protection
burning like paper. Nothing in the
way of steel Welding of this magni-
tIde ever before was attempted.
Hundreds of spectators were on
hand, and moving picture operators
caught the scene.
