ECHOS FROM
A BAD EXPLOSION.
A Salisbury Piston Head Bursts and
Injures Pour Charlotte Mta.
The Salisbury Ico Company has
recently had some trouble with a
piston rod which bad become Dent
where it enters the head. The
piece was , sent to the Mecklen-
burg Iron Works, at Charlotte, to
bo straightened. The head on
the rod was a pieco of iron weigh-
ing over three nunureu pounus
and measuring six inches thick and
sixteen inches in diameter. This
-was heated yesterday so the rod
could be gotten out. After it was
taken from the furnace and put on
the cround there i was a tremen-
dous explosion and the large iron
head He w to pieces and scattered
all over the shop. The accident
resulted in the ; serious injury
to C. M. Bell, a machinist; .
W. Severs, a blacksmith: Arthur
Frazier, a striker and the black
smith's helper, and; slight injury
to Peter Crawford, a colored yard
hand. V
The Observer says:
4 'Severs had
his left leg broken between the
knee and ankle, his right leg
slightly cut and one nnger was
broken. His shoes were cut to
pieces. Annur grazier pu a
compound fracture of his right
leg between the knee and ankle,
and was also cut on the face and
head. Peter Crawford,1 who was
standing a few feet from the forge,
was slightly burned on the face
and arms. Mr. Bell was the
worst hurt of the four men. He
was standing by a pulley lathe,
12 feet to the loft of the rod, when
the accident occurred. A large
Pce of the piston had curved
in shape, struck his left leg just
below his hip. 'I be iron penetrated
the flesh to and past the bone, lay
ing open the flesh and muscles m a
: '
ia the
ammonia, pump and it is thought
the ammonia' gases that had seejied
into the iron, expanded under the
heat and that this caused the ex
plosion. I
The iron works will soon have
another piston ready for the ico
company. In the meantime, how
ever, the factory continues to run
and supply its patrons with ice.
