FATAL POWDER EXPLOSION AT HAZARDVILLE
About two tons of powder in one
of the new press mills of the Hazard powders manufacturing
company at Hazardville exploded at the quarter before 8,
yesterday morning, completely destroying the building and
killing three men who were at work within - Mr. Richards,
a very intelligent powder-maker, from England, and John
Lemare and Joseph Bolac, French Canadians,
besides a horse which Lemare had just driven to the
house. Richards and Bolac were men about 45
years old, and had large families, while Lemare was
about 35 and leaves a wife. The bodies of all three
were torn to atoms and scattered about to a distance of 400
feet, the trees of the surrounding woods being also torn up
and shattered. The loss to the company is $10,000; of
course uninsured. The mill was a strongly built
one-story structure, 20 by 30 feet, and scarcely an atom of
it remains on its former site. Lemare and
Bolac had policies on their lives of $1000 each in the
Travelers' insurance company of Hartford. |
