The tank was already charged but Mr. Shaw, the dispenser, thinking that it needed rj -1 charging took it out to the de -1 partment for charging and i turned on the gas. William ' Parker, a polite and trusty col ored boy, who has been in the . employ of Hood & Grantham for three years was assisting, and when the tank exploded a piece of it struck his right leg [ at the kneejoint and almost tore the leg off. Mr. Shaw was badly shocked aud received 1 some slight bruises, but was not hurt seriously. It was first ■ thought that the colored boy's leg would be to amputate, but Drs. Sexton and Highsmith, who dressed the wound, think they can save it. The directions for charging | the tanks are 175 pounds of , pressure, but this one had 300 , pounds or more, an oversight , on the part of those charging it. Nearly one side of the building iu which they were ■ working was blown off. New Enterprise. i _____ DUNN TO HAVE A TANNERY. I > Messrs. G. L. Cannady and - E. F.
