Blindness Follows a Prank with a Match and Gunpowder
A boy ages about ten, son of Mrs. Mary Swain, was burned when he dropped a lit match into a can of gunpowder at a neighbor’s house. The ensuing explosion blinded him and scorched his clothes, hands, face, and head. A physician fears sight may be lost in both eyes. Meanwhile, a bridge workers strike in Pittsburg was settled as nonunion workers at Corrall are released and air workers resume. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, ill in Washington, plans Atlantic City rest.
