February 5, 1890 - Something Fishy Going On, Big Cinder Explosion and Minersville Boarding House Fight with Red, Hot Poker

A pike (fish) caught in Iowa had a Johnstown PA Bank Book in its stomach. Believe or not. 
Big cinder explosion at Cambria Iron causes all kinds of damage. 


Minersville Boarding House - Albert Elgick stabbed with red hot poker by Andrew Robinus. Officer Boucher was the one to respond to the call.
