1893.] Tin-: LOCOMOTIVE. 101 Hurshman, Cyrus Myers, Thomas "Woods, and three unidentified men were killed. R. W. Carew was fatally wounded, aud W. II. Dickey, Aaron B. Johnson, ('. J. Pellman, Jolni Hal|)li, I). H. Handolj)h, Edward Ross, Gilbert Childrcs, Evans Freeman, William Henry, James Howard, Charles Jackson, AVilliam Jackson, Fred Neil, Albert Robinson, Holden Tate, Charles Thomas, and George Wasliington were bad?y scalded, and the physicians said that ten of them will die. When the flue collapsed, the rear head of the boiler also blew out, and the contents of the boiler were discharged among the in- jured persons. <strong>The</strong> Ohio had headway enough to carry her to the river i)ank, and she was made fast and attention was given to the wounded men. Two hours after the explo- sion the ^Egeiis reached the scene of the disaster, and was at once placed at the disposal of the Ohio, and the passengers were taken up the river to Cairo, where the wounded were cared for in the Marine Hospital. (124.) — On May 8th a boiler exploded in O'Brien's feather renovating establishment, in New Bremen, Ohio. Franklin Huencke, an employe, was severely scalded, and nar- rowly escaped death. (125.) — A boiler exploded in Kansas City, Mo., on May 8th, killing Edward C. Kel- leher, the fireman. (126.) — On May 8th a boiler exploded near the town of Mitchell, in Martin County, Ind. Francis Baker was fatally wounded, and three others, whose names we have not learned, were injured seriously but not fatally. (127.) — <strong>The</strong> boiler belonging to Erskine & Co., in Carbon, near Youngstown, Ohio, exploded on May 9th. William Holliday and Lawrence Ripple, who were in the boiler room at the time, were fearfully injured, and Holliday died shortly after the explosion. At last accounts Ripple was living, but it was thought that there was very little chance of his recovery. After the explosion the ruins took fire, aad the entire property would have been destroyed but for the prompt action of Foreman Geddes, under whose direction the fire was soon controlled. (128.) — On May 10th the electric light station in La Junta, Col., was utterly de- stroyed by the explosion of one of the boilers. Not a vestige of the large building was left standing. It was valued at $20,000. Charles Shepard, the night engineer, was blown 100 feet away, striking against a large flouring mill. He was terribly injured, and died in about ten minutes. Lester Edmunds was struck by flying debris, and may die. One of the boilers was hurled entirely through the La Junta planing mill, 100 feet away, destroying a heavy planer in its course. <strong>The</strong> damage to this mill is estimated at $3,000. (129.)— By the explosion of a boiler in a factory in Sheboygan, Mich., on May 11th, Herman Schultz, the fireman, was badly scalded about the face and hands. (130.)— On May 12th two Ijoilers exploded at Lawrence Sz Moore's colliery, Mahanoy Plane, Pa. <strong>The</strong> explosion displaced five other boilers, and wrecked the boiler-house completely. <strong>The</strong> less was estimated at $3,000. (131.) — Four persons were killed and several injured on May 13th by the explosion of the boiler of engine No. 948 of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad, at Lebanon, Pa. <strong>The</strong> killed are Levi Yocum, John Yocum, George SoUiday, and Willie Loudon. Wil- liam Anspach was fatally injured, and his daughter Annie, who had just brought her father's dinner, was also seriously and perhaps fatally injured. George Seller and Isaac Beard were seriously hurt, and several persons who were half a block away received minor injuries.
