A case of considerable interest to grain
dealers and others was decided in Strat-
ford last week before Judge Rose. Messrs.
Hay Bros. bought last April 'about 4000
bushels of wheat, at 84io per bashed, from
McGrory, Lucknow. MaGrory shipped
1000 beehele to Listowel, wheat advanced
to about 98c and he refused to deliver 1110
balanoe olaimicg not to have sold any
more. !day Bros. took an action to re.
cover the difference in value on the 3,000
bushels. 138100nce wa0 given showing
that he had told parties th it he had sold
all his grain and that he ordered oars for
it all to Listowel and cancelled them
afterwards. Judgment was given for
plaintiffs for 33270 and all coats.
Shortly after 12 o'clock, Thursday of
last week, the sound of explosion was
hoard at the gas works, and flames were
00001 i1euing from rents made through
the iron roof of the malting room. The
maker, Thos. Male wail in the room at
tho thne, and m.is badly burned. Iie
had noticed a leak of gas and went into
the room just before the explosion, The
doors were closed by the pressure Mr.
Male sprang throng( an (meta window
and rolled himself in the geese to smother
out hie burning clothing. He is badly
hnrned about the hands and name, and
MHO along his baok and oboist his face
and head. IIe did not, however, lose coo.
soiousnoss and says he is not burned in-
ternally. f'i'lm medical men think his
burns may not endanger his life, The
cause of the aooklelt was first a mystery
as no part of the apparatus appeared to
have been out of order, but is was easily
understood when Mr, Male himself ex.
plained that he bad removed the water
seal from purifier and forgotten to replace
it. The gas from the retort as well as
from the holder escaped from the room
out iuto the furnace room. Mr, Male
seized a pail of water and ran to all the
purifier. The gas, however, reaohe7 the
furnace and exploied with terrific force.
It had been escaping entil it became
mixed with the air and formed a highly
explosive compound, which apparently
reached the explosive point just after the
maker entered the room. The principal
force of the explosion was upwards. It
wrenolted.the brick chimney ; lifted the
roof a foot from the brick wall, and lore
off parts of the iron shingles. The mach.
inery was not damaged. It is wonderful
that Mr. Male was not k Pei on the apo'.
The force of the ecnion501on lifted it
wooden lean bo from one end of the
building. The flames scorched but cid
not Ore tho woodwork, and were pub out
by turning off the gas from the holder,
which, however was almost emptied.
The lire belt rang and a line of hose was
laid from the hydrant, and did good ser-
vice.
