Show Dangerous Roman Candles. A fireworks company near New York made the fortunate discovery last week that an employe was filling Roman candles can-dles with both clay and powder. The addition of the clay, it is said, makes the exploding of the candle dangerous, being liable to cause the bullets to come ont of the end held in the hand. The man has been arrested, but denies that he has done as charged. It appears that thousands of dollars' worth of the candles have been tampered with. Some of them have been shipped to customers in various parts of the United States, but they have been requested re-quested to return them to the factory. Officers of the company are of the opinion opin-ion that he did not put the clay into the candles of his own accord, but was prompted to do so by some enemy of the concern. Philadelphia Ledger. |
