POWDER
Blown Into His Eyes by
an Explosion.
Serious Injury to Edward Wright-
Face Badly Burned.
Edward, 16-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. George W. Wright, of 108
Beck av., was injured by an explo
sion of powder Thursday evening.
Edward had a tent in the back
yard of his home, and Thursday
evening decided to take it down.
When the main stake was pulled up
quite a hole was left in the ground.
The lad procured some powder and
.wrapping .it in a piece of paper,
placed it in the hole, and lit a fuse.
The explosion occurred sooner
than Edward had designed. He was
standing beside the hole. Both eyes
were filled with dirt and powder,and
his face was badly burned.
Dr. Harry Todd and D. H. Lewis,
the oculist were called to the Wright
home to attend to the injured boy.
They are of the opinion that Edward
will not lose his eyesight, although
his injuries are very serious.
Because of the accident, it is prob
able that the case against him in
Common Pleas court will be dropped.

Warwick Has an Artesian Well That
Is a Roarer.
Warwick has an artesian well
which is a gusher, says the Fulton
Signal. On Friday last while David
Smith was drilling for water for his
saw mill engine, in the woods, near
the creek south of Warwiok he
struck a large well of water. Its
force was so great as to blow out the
pipes and flood the whole, woods.
They used earth, rocks and timber to
stop the flow, but it still gushes.
They struck this seemingly subter
ranean reservoir at a depth of some
30 feet. The supply seems to be suf
ficient to furnish water for a good
sized city.

Dr. Brice Steane, late organist at
St. Paul's Episcopal church, of whom
mention was made in Thursday's
Democrat, relative to his leaving
the city without paying bills, aggre
gating a large amount, had from
time to time kept a small account
with the City National bank.
The deposits being small, the ag
gregated sum to his credit in the
bank was never large, as he always
checked closely; but the iron-clad
rule in Akron which permits no
overdrawing, he never attempted to
violate, until he was ready to leave
the city.
Just when he was ready to start it
is said that he gave checks on the
City National bank to several trades
men for necessaries.
. Only one of these checks has thus
far been presented at the bank. It
was issued to Byrider Bros., pro
prietors of the Rlack Bear Store, and
called for $10. The chock was given
after banking hours and was a pay
ment on a bill of about' $25. Pay
ment on the check was refused.
