BOILER EXPLOSION.
WAVE OFFERING OF LARD. [Per Press Association.] HAMILTON, March 23. A peculiar explosion occurred at the Co-operative Bacon Company's works, Frankton. Lard rendering operations were being proceeded with when something went wrong with the steam heater underneath. A loud explosion was heard, the effect of which was that a big boiler of lard, weight 2cwt, was blown right up through the roof over the telephone wires, and on to the middle of the road. Two men were standing by, one within a foot of the boiler at the time of the accident, and a third was close alongside on the other side of the partition. Fortunately no one was injured.
