Another Explosion.
THIS TIME ONLY 140 POUNDS OF THE
EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND GOES UP.
(Prom The McKenn Miner.)
Saturday morning last preparations
were in progress for torpedoing three
oil wells, situated at Kinzua Junction,
and beloiiKlng to Melvin, Walker
it Howe. Mr. W. W. Bess, an em
ployeenfthe Robert's Torpedo Com-1
pany, and who has been in charge of
their business in that territory, pro
ceeded to the magazine about eight
o'clock in the morning and took there
from seven six-quart cans weighing
in all one hundred and forty pounds.
This amount was to be used in two
wells, and was placed in a barrel of
cold water with a pipe connecting it
with the boiler for heating and reduc
ing the deadly compound to a liquid
state, it being in a congealed condition
when taken from the magazine. The
steam was turned on and Mr. Bess re
paired to the floor of the derrick for
the purpose of cleaning a place tn
All the shells. At this time the well
made a small flow and Mr. Bess pro
posed to run the bailer in to agitate
the well, but one objection was raised
to the venture owing to the amount of
glycerine being in such close prox
imity. There were several gentlemen
standing around eager to see the op
eration performed; among them was
J. O. dishing, store-keeper and post
master at the Junction. Just as Bess
picked up the broom a most tremend
lous explosion occurred, knocking all
the men prostrate upon the floor and
ground, and hurling wood and iron
fragments in every direction. As
soon as the survivors gained theirequi
Hbrium they began searching for the
dead bodies of their companions, and
found lying upon the floor of the der
rick the body of Cushing whose cu
riosity had cost him his life. The
next victim to the terrible disaster
was Lasher, a tool-dresser. His body
was found about three hundred feet dis
tance from the engine house, muti
lated and one leg completely torn off
and the other badly mangled.
Coroner Blair arrived in the after
noon and empaneled a jury and took
the testimony of a few geutlemen, af
ter which the jury rendered a verdict
in accordance with the facts, blam
ing no one.
Mr. Cushing was about thirty-three
years old, and leaves a wife and daugh
ter at Gillmor to mourn the loss of a
fond and loving husband and father.
He was a member of the A.O. U. W.
order, but allowing his dues to run
behind, receives no benefits from that
Bocietv. He is highly spoken of.
Andrew L. Lasher was a resident of
Vanango, Crow ford county, where
llis wife and son still reside. He was
u member of the order of Knights of
Pythias and ulso of the A. O. U. W.
From the latter society his widow will
receive a fund of $2,000.
