Explosion at her home, 437 Wayne Street. "Anthony Winblad, the young man who was badly burned about the face, neck and upper extremities by an explosion of powder in the cellar of his home, 437 Wayne street, Jersey City, Saturday afternoon, will, the physicians at the City Hospital say, probably be disfigured for life as a result of the accident, which happened in a peculiar manner. He was clearing a room in the cellar and unconsciously threw something out of his way to one side. It struck a can of powder and before he realized what had happened there was an explosion which was heard a block away. He tried to escape but his effort was fruitless and, when his parents and little sister, who were upstairs at the time, hurried into the cellar to learn the cause of the terrible noise, there lay Anthony almost unconscious from the burns he had received. His cries of pain were so pitiful that his father ran to the City Hospital and notified Warden McAndrew. The latter sent the ambulance to the scene and, after temporarily relieving his patient, the surgeon placed him in the vehicle and hurried him off to the institution, two blocks away."
