EXPL0S10H At three-thirty this afternoon a switch engine brot to this city, from Meacham, Conductor Charles Stacy, Ticket Agent P. Rogers of Meacham and a strangsr workman, named Jim Kay, all three suf faring terribly from burns inflicted by the explosion of a can of powder. Stacy and the ticket agent, Mr. Rogers and a workman from the construction crew at Meacham, were unloading cans of powder from a box car to the depot platform. In setting one of them to the platform, it exploded The consequence, while not fatal to either of the three men, was that all are burned in a frightful manner. They rolled them' selves in the snow to extinguish the Are which had been ignited in their clothes. The engineer and assistants loaded them into the engine and brot them to this city where Dr. Bacon dressed the wounds. Tne skin was actually burned off their hands, their faces were black as coal, some of course which was only smoks and washsd off. Two finger nails were blown off Mr. Stacey's hands. The agent is perhaps burned the most seriously, the workman being least hurt of any. At four o'clock all were having their wounds washed and dressed butthe pains are still very severe. No exact details could be secured at the late hour but it is evident that something other than the powder was in the can, as the jar was not sufficient to explode the powder.
