An appalling accident occurs j
red Wednesday morning in the
shell-loading department of the
Winchester Repeating Fire
Arms Co. shops, near New Ha
ven, Conn. Without an instant's
warning six human beings lost
their lives by an explosion, and
another victim died soon after
ward at the hospital. A score oi
others were seriously wounded.
More than 1 50 men and wo
men are employed in the load
ing department, and that more
fatalities aid not result from the
concussion is miraculous.
The hundreds of people who
gathered about the gates imme
diately after the explosion, wit-1
nessed a gruesome sight. Six
dead bodies, blackened with j
powder aud frightfully mangled,
almost beyond recognition, were
lying on the floor. Near by two
injured men were writhing in
agony, and all about were men
running with their faces and
arms bleeding from shot wounds,
unmindful of their injuries, but
trying to assist others and quell
the confusion. Owing to the
number of girls who were carried
out iu a fainting condition, it
was believed that many of them
were seriously injured, and there
was a great leeling of relief
when it was found that in most
cases they were unharmed.
The explosion occurred in the
loading room. Employed in this
room where 150 hands, twos
thirds of them girls or women.
The full complement of hands
was at work in the room when
the explosion took place. Forty
feet of the side of the building
was blown out and hurled in
nieces many feet, and fragments
of human bodies were scattered
iu a sickening manner.
Harrowing scenes were wit-
npcQpH as the vast throntr con-
gregated about the place. As
rapidly as possible the injured
were cared for. In two instances
the suffering of the wounded was
rightful. One was partially
disemboweled.
As rapidly as a victim was
seen to be alive, the sufferer was
tenderly cared for, made as com
fortable as possible and conveyed
with all possible speed to his
home. Two of the bodies had
been decapitated. Others had
been partially torn asunder and
still others had beenj dismember
ed.
The cause of the explosion has
not been determined and per
haps its cause may never be
known. Some ot those at work.
in the room at the time say that
it was due to the iact that a ear-
trids-e in process of loading had
been improperly placed 111 the
machine. Oi the injured those
who are able to talk remember
nothing except a blinding flash
Some did not even hear the ex
plosion.

not? Because they are healthy and strong

Why not catch health ? We can do it

A Wonderful Fish Story.
A wonderful fish story comes
from Port Tamoa. Fla. It is
about a twelve-foot shark, which
was caught in the shallow water
near the beach, a short distance
from Port Tampa. His shaik-
ship appeared to be sick, aud
was an easy victim. The par-
ties who captured the prize nos
ticed that his stomach was con
siderablv distended, while the
lower portion of his body am
tail were unite thin. These
facts excited the curiosity of the
fishermen, and they decided to
dissect it. Upon opening the
stomach a small pork barrel
with one head knocked out was
found. The mouth of the bar
rel was pointing upward toward
the fishe s throat, and was liter
ally filled with dead fish, but
thev could not be digested,
hence the shark was literally
starving to death, yet lie had a
barrel of fish in his stomach.
"Have tried others, bnt like Ayer's
best" is the statement make over and
over again by those who testisy to the
benefit derived from the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. Diease never had a great
er enemy thay this powerful bloodpuri
