The Vulcanizer In Dr. Wilson's Dentist Office Explodes With a Great Report. Quite an excitement was created on South Ohio street this morning at 9:30 o'clock by the sound of an explosion in the dentist office of Dr. Wilson at No. 307 A crowd was soon assembled and the doctor's anxious friends overrun. The cause of the scene was the explosion of a vulcanizer What caused the accident is difficult to explain. It had been lately sent to New York and a safety valve attached, but the latter seems to have been of no avail whatever. It failed entirely in doing the work expected. The instrument was blown to pieces and the front window of the office wrecked completely. There were two ladies in the operating room at the time but fortunately no one was injured. The damage will amount to probably $100.
