Dynamite struck by lightning spares thirty men at Ross quarry
A 9 am thunderstorm at Ross quarry near Columbia caused a bolt to ground via insulated firing wires for dynamite. Despite 250 pounds in 12 holes, the blast sparked by electricity hurt none of 150 workers nearby. The incident halted no one and no injuries were reported as observers noted the electrical grounding across many wires. A stray blast threat loomed with 20,000 pounds of dynamite nearby, but no detonation occurred. Governor McSweeney reportedly welcomes another baby girl, his seventh child.
