The article submitted concerning the explosion at the Oakdale cork plant was mis-dated. It should have been labled as coming from the Jan. 21, 1903 McDonald PA Outlook. Vickie

Jan. 31, 1903 McDonald PA Outlook Explosion at Noblestown Henry HIGHFIELD, 43 years of age and W. E. AVERY, aged 45, were terribly cut and bruised and are in a serious condition as the result of the explosion of a gas engine at the pumping station of the Midland Oil company, a mile from Noblestown, late Thursday. HIGHFIELD and AVERY were working some distance from the station when the engine stopped. They hastened to learn the cause and just as they entered the building the explosion occurred. Both were blown from the building, their clothing aflame. Other workmen came to the rescue and cared for the injured men. The fire destroyed the station and much valuable machinery and tools. The loss will aggregate several thousand dollars. The cause is a mystery.

J. A. SNYDER and H. W. DAVIS badly injured at Oakdale on Tuesday. Two men were seriously burned by an explosion at the Bruenning cork factory, in Willow avenue, Oakdale, at 8:30 Tuesday morning. The men were at work in a cistern when their lamps ignited either from firedamp or natural gas and both were buried in the cistern. The injured are: J. A. SNYDER aged 45 years, superintendent of the Bruenning plant; burned about the body and badly cut and bruised. He was taken to his home in First street, Oakdale. H. W. DAVIS, aged 50 years, who was assisting SNYDER; burned about head, face and hands, cut and bruised and otherwise injured. He was taken to his home in Spring avenue, Oakdale. Oakdale has no water system and depends upon cistern and wells. The cork factory is supplied from a large cistern about 15 feet deep on the side of the hill above the plant about 25 yards from the main factory. The cistern is supplied by several springs and seldom fails. This morning, however, the water supply was not good. Supt. SNYDER knowing that there was plenty of water in the cistern, decided to see what was wrong. SNYDER and DAVIS arrived at the cistern about 8:20 and lifting the trap, started down the ladder. SNYDER was first and carried a lighted lantern. There was about three feet of water in the cistern and just as SNYDER reached the water there was a terrific explosion that was heard over the entire town. The top of the cistern was blown off and found some yards away. The report brought almost all the employees of the cork factory and many others to the scene. A number of the workmen, headed by W. BOVARD, W. J. EVANS and J. M. DIXON, went down in the cistern and found DAVIS pinned against a wall. They took him to the surface. When the explosion occurred SNYDER was knocked to the bottom of the cistern, but before he fell into the water the flames whirled about him, burning him in a horrible manner. Many hundred brick and stones fell on him and when the rescuing party found him he was unconscious.

This town is said to have been founded before Pittsburgh. For a hundred years or more Noblestown has been known throughout Western Pennsylvania, and yet at no time has there been a population to exceed 800, and at present there are not more than 600. This town in old times was notorious far and wide as "a very bad place." Liquor was free and gambling and fighting were daily occurrences. But churches and schools have done their work and now Noblestown will in morals and manners compare favorably with any place of its size in the State. Many French and Belgian miners are here, a frugal and industrious people, and many of them are buying homes for themselves. The coal works in the vicinity are, however, not running more than one-third time. There is one mail each way each day. Boardwalks are scares and except in fine weather the mud encountered by the pedestrian reminds him of McDonald. There are here the National Coal Company store, and those of HOFFMAN, WACKER, Mrs. ELLIOTT, and the novelty store and bakery of Mrs. COLLINS. The public school has two rooms, over 100 pupils, David TAYLOR being principal. The Methodist Episcopal church has a comfortable chapel. There are over 100 members. The Rev. Mr. HATFIELD of Midway preaches there every Sunday morning and at Midway every Sunday evening. There is here also a United Presbyterian church that worships on the site of the old Seceder church. They have no regular pastor, but are supplied every Sunday. The Rev. Father GALLAGHER of the St. Patrick's Catholic church resides near the church and took us through the new church, which under his supervision has undergone many improvements. The church is finished in the best of taste, and everything is arranged in a style pleasing to the eye. The ventilation is first-class, and this can be said of but few church buildings. This is one of the strongest church organizations in the valley, the membership being over 1000. Father GALLAGHER superintends missions at Bulger, Montour, and Imperial and he is recognized as one of the most energetic, persistent, and effective workers in the country. Rents are not so high as in McDonald. Forty Years Ago March 24, 1894 The Pittsburgh Leader boasts that it was the first paper in Pittsburgh to insert advertisements at 1 cent a word.

At a congregational meeting of Westminster congregation on Saturday it was unanimously decided to build a church in Burgettstown.

R. BUCHHEIT 200 feet. Messrs. DOUGLASS and T. J. WILLIAMS are making preparations to lay a 2-inch line from SMITH's corner down Lincoln avenue to Arabella street. McDonald is now well protected by the forest Water lines. Fifteen carloads of mud have been removed by the railroad from between the passenger and freight depots. Much remains. This mud has been carried there on wagon wheels and horses feet since January 1892. The new water company met Monday and organized by electing C. R. BUCHHEIT president, ad Richard GLADEN, Mr. STURGEON and Mr. ARGYLE directors. About $14,000 stock was subscribed. Oil notes. J. A. LITTLE No. 4 came in Monday and shows a rather light well.

SCOTT No. 1, and FISHER Bros., Florence Oil Co.'s, and the Philadelphia Co.'s wells, all near the MONREAN, are expected in within a few days. The J. P.

S. H. COOK will be installed an elder of Robinson's Run U. P. church Sabbath morning. He was ordained and installed a ruling elder in this same congregation November 27, 1862, and served until 1876, when he became a charter member of the First U. P. church. The Nickelplate and Champion mines will be idle until autumn. A driller named MEYHER was badly burned in a gas explosion at Candor last Friday. The rig was burned. Fashion Notes. A charming dressing jacket of pure white crepe and Irish lace is make like a shawl. The sleeves are formed by the points of the shawl, and a ribbon gathers in the fullness at the waist. There is a craze for gowns where the waist is a tiny bolero, pelerine, or sailor collar of the skirt material over a blouse of thin material or lace. The military jacket has taken well. There is a lavish use of braid in frogs, epaulets, and bindings. Everything is to be tucked. Tucks in all sorts of circular and crescent shaped designs are presaged. Twenty-five years ago March 26, 1909 The Komoko club has secured Frank RICHTER of Pittsburgh, a well-known actor, to direct the cast in their production of "Jane." The McDonald Relief club has extended aid to fifty-two worthy families since Christmas. The calls for help have been more numerous this month. "Puffed out very full at the back" is the Paris degree for the hair. The puffing is accomplished by a wire cage worn underneath.

DOUGLASS, and D. L. WILLIAMS were in Harrisburg Tuesday and attended a session of the Legislature as spectators. The Woman's club met Wednesday in the home of Mrs. J. C. ROGERS.

Walking down the main street this morning a resident noticed a great improvement in front of the COOK-SHANE building. Some of the awnings had been taken down and some of the hitching posts had been removed. These hitching posts make a stable out of the main streets and if all wee dug up, McDonald would present an improved appearance. The Pittsburgh Commercial club boosters and 15 Oakdale businessmen arrived in McDonald Wednesday morning for a visit. Fifteen Years Ago March 28, 1919 A number of fliers passed over Clinton last week from Akron to Pittsburgh.

G., 319th Inf., stationed at Quincerat, France, regarding "Bun" TROY's death says: "We all faced death for two nights and it was on the second that Bun was hit by an eight-inch shell.
