EXPLOSION AT THE FERRO
ALLOY PLANT

An explosion at the Ferro Alloy
plant, near Philo, Wednesday aft
ernoon at $3.50 o'clock, caused for
time considerable excitement,
however it seems to be pretty well
established fact that it was not sab
otage, but was an accidental explos-
ion, perhaps caused by an error in
certain mixture in which water got
into the furnace. One man was in
jured by flying glass, but it was
miracle that many were not lnjur-
ed. One furnace was wrecked and
part of the roof of the building
torn off
The plant was shut down i'm
mediately following the explosion,
