AN EXPLOSION. 



FIRE RECORD. 



INCORPORATED. 



On the morning of December 9, an 

 explosion in the hot water boilers of 

 Edgar Bros,, at Waverley, Mass., did 

 considerable damage to the heating ap- 

 paratus and glass, and for a time the 

 stock in the houses was in danger of 

 ruin from the cold weather. Neighbor 

 Peirce proved his neighborliness by 

 securing for Messrs. Edgar, after a big 

 hustle, temporary heating apparatus 

 just in time to save the plants. The 

 explosion was not due to any defect 

 in the boilers, but to neglect to open 

 the valves when building the fire.
