EXPLOSION OF CARBIDE
AT LINCOLN WEDNESDAY
Seriously Injuries James Ross, Who
May Lose Eyesight

Just before noon Wednesday NOR
ming, James Ross was filling a car
bide tank which supplies gas for a
lighting system, at the home Of VIM.
w. Truitt, in Lincoln, Delaware,
three miles south of Milford, and
had completed his job. He was. in the
act of turning on the lever which
permits the gas to flow through the
pipes to the lights, when the tank
filled with 200 pounds of carbide, eX-
ploded with a heavy detonation,
which shook the neighbOrhOod for
nearly a half mile around.
James Ross is a tall cOlOred man
about As years old, who has never
smoked or used tobacco, and the fill
ing of the tank was his usual duty.
He was experienced, and because or
his not having even matches about
him, no cause can be assigned for
the explosion. The tank is in the
ground and it is necessary to un-
cover it when cleaning or filling Is
necessary.
The explosion fractured Ross
Jaw bone and broke off all of his
upper front teeth, while the carbide
filled his eyes completely.
He was rushed to the Marshall
Hospital, where he was treated and
effort made to save the sight of the
injured man; what the result will be
only time will tell.
No damage was done to the resi-
dence or nearby property, but the
tank and equipment for operating,
was destroyed. Several persons had
contracted to have the lighting sys-
tenn installed; but are now hesitating
to complete their part of the deal.
