Torpedos Exploded

Portsmouth. O., Aug. 17.---Peter Callihan, a machinist at the Norfolk and Western terminal, was terribly injured as the result of letting his wrench fall in a box of torpedoes, which exploded with terrific force. The tin box was imbedded in Callihan's face and a pair of pliers had to be used to extract in.
