PAINT BARREL EXPLODES,
TWO CHILDREN DEAD.
Joseph and Daniel Corage Victims of
Terrible Burns as Result of
"Peculiar Accident.
Explosion of a partially emptied
barrel of asphalt roofing paint, at the
plant of the Whiterock Quarries, at
Pleasant Gap, about nine o’clock last
Saturday morning, so badly injured
and burned two boys that they died at
‘the Centre County hospital between
eleven and twelve o'clock the same
morning, while a third boy is still in
the hospital recovering from the
burns he sustained.
The children were all sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Corage. The two who
died were Joseph, aged 11 years, and
Daniel, aged 5. The one in the hos-
pital is Angelo, aged 9.
Just how the accident happened has
not yet been revealed. The paint was
being used on the roofs of the com-
pany’s houses, standing in a row near
the main plant. The men who were
doing the painting were Wilbur Sax-
ion and Harry Eckenroth. Asphalt
paint is decidedly heavy and stiff and
has to be heated before it is applied
to the roof. For this purpose the men
had a small fire some fifty feet or
more distant from the barrel of
paint. The barrel was lying on its
side with the bung open. One of the
men had poured out a bucket of the
paint, heated it to the required tem-
perature and just crawled up onto the
roof when the explosion occurred.
Both men described it as terrific.
One end of the barrel was blown out
and the empty barrel was blown en-
tirely over the house on which the
men were working, landing about a
hundred feet away. The paint caught
fire and mingled with the detonation
of the explosion were the agonized
cries of the burned children.
Their clothing was on fire but the
flames were quickly extinguished by
the crowd of people attracted to the
Scene by the noise of the explosion.
Joseph and Danie] were terribly burn-
ed on the head, face, arms and upper
portion of the body while Angelo’s
burns are mostly on his legs and the
lower portion of the body. A hurry
call was sent in for the ambulance
and quickly as possible the burned
children were brought to the hospital,
but two of them were so badly burned
that their lives could not be saved.
Angelo, however, will likely recover.
Just what caused the explosion of
the barrel of paint has not been def-
initely determined. The three boys
had been playing around the house
on which the painters were working,
which was occupied by: Albert Alterio,
and naturally were back and forth be-
tween the fire and the paint barrel,
There is. a possibility that one of them
may have lighted a match for the pur-
pose of looking into the open bung of
the barrel and thus ignited the accum-
ulation of gas in it which then
exploded. Of course this is only sur-
mise, as the two boys nearest the bar-
rel at the time of the explosion are
thing about’it. .In addition to the par-
ents six brothers and sisters survive.
The double funeral was held on
Tuesday morning. Services were held
in St. John’s Catholic church, Belle-
fonte, at ten o'clock, by Rev. Father
Downes, burial being made in the
Catholic cemetery,

Bellefonte Central Would Like to Ac-
quired L. and T. Branch.
The question of the purchase of
that portion of the Lewisburg and
Tyrone branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad, between Fairbrook and Stov-
er Station, which the Pennsylvania is
anxious to abandon, was discussed ata
meeting of the board of directors of
the Bellefonte Central railroad, held
in Philadelphia on Friday. The board
was inclined to favor the acquisition
but there is yet no certainty when the
line will be offered for sale.
The report last week that the Pub-
lic Service Commission had granted
the Pennsylvania the right to abandon
the line was a little Premature, as it
was only the examiner's recommen-
dation to the Commission that such
right be granted.” The question will
now be up for argument before the
Commission on November 14th, when
the railroad company “and the op-
ponents to the ‘abandonment of the
line will be given an opportunity to
be heard. It will probably be some
time later before the * Commission
hands down its decision and when
that occurs Bellefonte Central officials
will probably come to a decision in re-
gard to the possible purchase.

A Correction.
In the Watchman issue of October
Workman, of Mingoville.
It appears to have been a badly
bungled up attempt and expressed
awkwardly enough to convey the im-
pression to some that their living hap-
pily was dependent on the post-office
down there.
Certainly we did not intend to con-
vey any such an impression, for while
the post-office at Mingoville is now a
very well paying one the Workmans
are by no means dependent on it,
Mrs. Workman was made post-mis-
tress because she passed the civil
service examination very high and had
given splendid service as clerk in the
office for five years.
While it is true, as we stated, that
the phenomenal growth in the busi-
ness of the office is due to the large
shipments of baby-chicks from the
Hockman hatchery there, Mr. and
Mrs. Workman didn’t solicit that
business, as we stated. It went to
their office voluntarily because it was
most convenient and, besides, was
handled courteously and efficiently.
