OGW A \ MI An explosion occurred h wolfs garage on South Main street shortly before o. | clock Monday afternoon. Jerald Wolf, son of the proprietor, and Clarence Kahn | were saving a large sheet iron oil tank | apart to make two make two smaller | tanks and Clifford Rugby, the 13-year- i | old son of Merton Bugbee, was sitting l astride the tank watching the workmen. | The men had been steadily at work on | 1 the job since noon and only few inches remained to saw. The tank had once contained gasoiene and a small quantity, probably not over a pint, remained down ! in the curve Of the tank which was ly ing on its side. Air was admitted through the rapidly widening cut made l by the sawyers the mixture became just | right, when a spark from the saw did the rest. Mir. Wolf was blown one way and MT. Kahn the other, both escaping with minor injuries. Young Rugby fared the most. Peter Flynn, who happened to be near, saw him running out all ablaze. MT. Flynn wrapped his coat around the boy and sRothered the fire as quickly as possible. The boy was taken to the Ehouse across the street where he was at. tended by Doctors Jennings and Me
 Laughltn. He was painfully burned about the head and hands.
 Many people living near or passing at
 
 ed the roof, blew out. the windows, and wrecked the inside of the garage.
 The fire company responded to the call of z1 in, record time, but the resultant fire had. been pretty well conquered by Mr Wolf and MT. Kahn.

 snow, with a temperature which dropped 2 as low as -S7 degrees. All day and for three days before the wind has sung , steadily a little north of east.
 l The time changes te be adopted by the railroad, effective next Sunday, are not f as yet settled upon. It was rlmored on l Monday afternoon, and with pretty good 2 evidence of correctness, that the first ? schedule has, been to a considerable ex- tent abandoned At least so that bids on the new trains have been called off, . It would be a serious handicap for the I'big mills in the town to have the last l southbound mail train leave here at PAS : instead of 6.45 If that schedule waf k allowed to remain, there would probably
 be some method established by the de. . partmert to dispatch New York mail : via the boat train which will leave a
 little after 8 instead of s.3o.
