ACETYLENE OAS PLANT
DOES MISCHIEF
AT HAMLINTON
Tho Homo of O. L. Simons, a Mer
chant, Badly Wrecked.
An explosion of gas wrecked the
home of C. L. Simons, a merchant at
UnmMntnn WnVtIA PnllTltV Pn.. Jit I
, , , I
10:30 Thursday nignt.
As it almost Dy, an act oi x-rovi-
dence all or tne memoers oi tne mm-
Ily escaped Injury though the wreck
ing of the house was nearly com
plete, and It Is In such shape that the
well nlanned Christmas festivities
will have to be held elsewhere.
That their lives were spared, how
ever, is tne one Dest imng iuai iuy
will have to be thankful for at tne
holiday season.
The force of the explosion was so
great that the house was lifted from
the foundation, floors twisted" in all
sorts of shapes, and one side of the
bulldlne completely torn from the
main structure.
In the cellar of the building, -which
is a large modern home, Mr. Simons
had installed an acetylene gas plant
of fifty-light capacity. The presump
tion is that the automatic shut-off did
hot work and that after the tank had
filled to Its capacity the gas kept on
generating until the cellar was fill
ed. Then, It Is believed, the fur
nace Ignited the gas nnd the explos
ion followed.
The plant had been freshly charg
ed during the afternoon, bo there was
plenty of gas for a terrific crash.
Viewing the wreckage leads one
to wonder how the family escaped
death. At the time of the explosion
Mr. Simons was next door in his
store. The explosion was so great
that the windows in the store build
ing, which is fifteen or twenty feet
away from the house, were shattered
and the roar, together with the
breaking of glass attracted Mr. Sim
ons' attention. Just a few minutes
nrevlous his daughter Claire, aged 15
years, had telephoned to her father
that the lfchts had gone out and that
there was something wrong with the
plant. He told ner not to oouer
with It for a few minutes and mat
he would look Into the matter. Be
fore he had time to make an Investi
gation the explosion occurred. It
would appear that he was mignty
fortunate in not being In too great a
nurry, lor nuu uc omi
lar when his daughter telephoned
it is a hundred to one that he would
have been caught-by the force of the
exoloslon in the cellar,
The telephone which Miss (jiaire
used Is on the wall directly above the
gas plant. That she didn't loiter
nhnnt tho rnnm manv seconds after
telephoning to her father Is also an
other piece of good fortune for the
explosion lifted the floor where she
had been standing and shattered
things considerably In that part of
the house.
After telephoning to her father she
left the room and went to the porch
In the rear of the house, where her
mother had gone for some reason
just a minute or so before. They
were both somewhat out of the zone
of the crash and escaped without a
scratch.
Airs. Sanford Williams. Mrs. Sl-
mons' mother, had just a few minutes
before left the dining room to retire
and she was spared from Injury by
being on the second floor of the build-
in? Not five minutes before she had
climbed the stairs which after the ex-
Dloslon were found to he heaved
loose and the bannister even torn
away from its fastenings.
Two children, Donald, aged
years, and Clay, aged 6 years, were
in bed on the second floor when the
exnlosion occurred. The room they
nrmmied was but little damaged, and)
while the force of the explosion help-
ed them out of bed without much fuss
they were not In the least hurt ana
they came bouncing down the rickety
stairs in Jig shape with eyes as big
as saucers and hair standing straight,
There was still another most for-
tunate feature In connection with the
time that the explosion occurred.
There had been Christmas tree doings
in the Methodist church at Hamlin-
ton and the people from the country-
side all turned out to enjoy the fes-
tlvltles. They got through with the
celebration early and everything had
just about been wound up for the
nlght, In fact, many ot them naa aa- area eignty-nve ana luretj-ieniuu

felicitations and also to mase tne last aiiiuuwu Beginning at, iue soutn
nnrchaBes before the day of all days west corner of land late of John Call-
of the winter season, when bang went
the gas.
Flames shot out from the house,
fnilnwine the exnlosion, and then
evcrybody got busy. They workea In-
divldually and in groupes out tney
worked effectually and the fact that
there were so many willing hands
about the place at exactly the right
time saved the wrecked home from
fniiintr nrev to the flames. Atter a
hard tussle the flre was extinguished,
While during all the excitement
there was much rushing about to'see
if all noses could be counted, after
the flre had been put out there was a
more systematic search made by all
hands and It was found to the Joy of
everybody that all answered to roll
call and that nobody had been even
hurt just a little.
A little later the pet cat was found
and while he waB ruffled up a bit he
was all right and his fur Is straight-
ened out and he is as slick as a
whistle. But the canary. The sweet
songster bad a fine Uttle home ot Its
own In the dining room. The home
is still about the building, but the
door has sprung on lta hinges and the
bird hasflown. He left In such a
ktirrr that there was no farewell mote
and ,K u Bresumea tne svubwot wm
I to tho tall timber. With an open win-.
ter and mild weather he may hold
out, but If it cools up some the 81
mons's hope he will muster up cour
age enough to come back And look
things over and see for himself that
things1 could have boon worse.
