COMMERCIAL CLUB HOLDS
MEETING.

The regular meeting of the Man
chester Commercial Club was held at
Roe's cafe on Monday evening, when
a number OF important items Of bus
mess were discussed. One Oh the
things In which all OF the business
MEN are naturally interested In is the
financial outcome Of the fair held last
week. Secretary Williams submitted
a partial report Of receipts and ex-
penditures, and as soon as all Of the
premiums are paid and all other out
standing bills paid, he will make full
and complete report, and submit to
the club at the next regular meeting
to be held at keckler's restaurant on
Monday evening, September 27th.
The proposition Of wrecking the old
floral hall and using the material in it
for the new Sales Pavilion to be erect
ed between the two large stock barns
was discussed at some length, and
the committee was instructed to con.
slider the proposition more thoroughly
and report at the next meeting of the
club.
The question of fire protection for
the large number Of buildings which
have been erected on the fair grounds
during the past four years, was dis.
cussed at some length, and commit
tee was appointed to work out 'some
plan OF action.

POWDER EXPLOSION
INJURIES YOUNG man
HARRY MEAD, son OF f. A. MEAD,
In CRITICAL CONDITION IS
RESULT OF BURNS.
INJURIES CAUSE INTENSE PAIN
Leaps Into Water Tank to Extinguish
Flames. Hands, Face aud Chest
are Terribly Burned.

Harry. one of the twin sons OF Mr..
and Mrs. Frank A.. Mead. of near Man
chester, is in critical condition as a
result of injuries received when a
twenty-five pound cask Of giant pow
der exploded ON Monday evening at
about five o'clock. 1t appears that
Mr.. Mead and his boys had been
wrecking the old building across the
road from the house, and were using
some of the material in erecting other
buildings. Harry had gone to the
lumber piles to get some material, and
accidentally threw down a match af-
ter lighting his cigarette. Instantly
the powder became ignited. The
force Of the explosion tore the young
mans clothes in shreds and set them
on fire. In the explosion both hands
were frightfully burned. He was al
il he did not succeed in extinguishing
so burned in the fact and chest. Re-
alizing that he would burn to death
the flames Immediately. Harry started
across the road for the water tank
near the barn, and leaped into it. In
leaping into the water tank he
struck both Of his knees on the sharp
edge OF the tank and inflicted ugly
gashes on both limbs.
Z It Is believed that his eyes escaped
injury, although his face is fright-
fully burned It is impossible at this
time to determine the full extent Of the
injuries; but t>it Is to be hoped that ne
may not suffer the loss of his hands.
