-120 THE LOCOMOTIVE. [August, A large amount of valuable macbiuery was destroyed, and it is believed that the loss will amount to about $20,000. A neighboring cotton gin was also damaged to the ex- tent of about $2,000. (IGo.)— A boiler in Kenny & Newgard's mill in Hawarden, Iowa, exploded on July 24tli, tearing away the west end of the building and seriously injuring Frank Chapman, the engineer. Chapman was sitting just outside the engine room door when the "explosion occurred, and was carried three rods away. His face was literally filled with dirt and gravel, and he will probably be disfigured for life. The boiler and engine are complete wrecks, and the machinery throughout the mill is sprung out of shape. (106.) — On July 26th, two big boilers exploded in Belleville, 111., tearing the boiler-house to fragments, and badly wrecking part of the main building. Masonry and heavy beams were hurled a distance of more than 250 feet. As the explosion occurred in the early morning, nobody was about except the watchman, and he, being in a remote part of the building, escaped injury. Several bricks were blown into an open window- in Charles Knoebel's house, one of them striking his daughter, who was lying in bed, and badly bruising her cheek. Otherwise, no one was injured. The loss is estimated at $20,000. (IG7.) — A boiler exploded on July 26th, in J. ]M. Weatherwax's mill, in Aberdeen, Wash. The fireman, William Welsh, was instantly killed. His body was blown through an opening 14 inches square, but, strange to say, was neither bruised nor scratched in the passage. Frank Lewis, Jacob Kaiser, and James Cowden were also seriously injured. (168.) — A boiler explosion occurred on July 26th, near Salem, Crittenden Co., Ky. John Dambron and George Dambron were instantly killed, and William Dambron was frightfully injured. His arm was torn off, and he is likely to die. (169.) — By a boiler explosion in San Rafael valley. Lower California, on July 26th, Mr. L. Spangler, a prominent American rancher, was instantly killed. Being tempor- arily without an engineer, he had undertaken to run the boiler himself. (170.) — A boiler exploded in Raleigh, N. C, on July 28th. The engineer and fireman were blown a considerable distance, but neither was seriously injured. (171.) — A boiler exploded on July 29th, at Sistersville, near Wheeling. W. Va., and J. H. Rodehaver was burned in a shocking manner about the face and body. At last accounts it was not known whether he would live or not. (172 )_A_ boiler exploded on Martha's Vineyard, Mass., on July 31. We did not learn of any fatalities in connection with it. (173.) — A boiler exploded on July 31st at Newark, Ohio. John Kittle, James Bowers, William Bell, Sidney Bell, and Norman Sillers were killed, and Joseph Shipp, Thomas Edmunds, Albert Kittle, and Luther Sillers were badly hurt. Shipp died the following day, but it is believed that the other injured persons will recover. Two horses belonging to Peter Bell were also killed. Napoleon I. was a fatalist, and among his superstitions was a firmly rooted notion that places and persons whose names b^gan with the letter M possessed immense power over his fortunes for good or for evil. An ingenious Frenchman, evidently inclined to believe that there was some good ground for Napoleon's faith, makes up the following strange list of M's: Six Marshals—Mussena, Mortier, Marmont, IMacdonald, Murat, and Moncey—without counting twenty-six division generals. Moreau betrayed him. Mar-
— 1893.] THE L(MJ().MOTIVE. 121 seilles was the place where he encountered the greatest difticulties at the commencement of his career. Marbouuf was the first to suspect liis genius and to shove him iiliead. His most brilliant battles were Montenottc, Mantua, Milesiino, Mondovi, Marengo, Malta, Mont Thabor, Montmirvil, Monuans, Montereau, Mery, Montraartre (assault), Mont Saiut- Jean, the last at Waterloo. At the siege of Toulon his first point of attack was Fort Jlaibousipiet. Tiiere he singled out Muiron, who covered him with his body on tlie bridge of Arcole. Milan was the capital of his new kingdom. Moscow was the last town that he took. Menon made him lose Egypt. MioUis was selected to cai)turc Pius VII. Malet conspired against him. Metternich beat him diplomatically. 3Iaret was his secretary and his confidant. Montalivet was his minister, and Moutestiuin his first chamberlain. In March, 1796, he married Josephine, and in March, 1810, he married Marie-Louise. In March, 1811, the King of Rome was born. Malmaison, a well-named unlucky house, was his last residence in France. He surrendered to Capt. Maitland. At Saint Helena, Montholon was his companion in captivity and Marchand his valet dc chambre. He died in 3Iay, 1821. The letter M also conies to the front in tiie career of Napoleon HI. He married the Countess de Montijo. Morny is not forgotten. In the war of the Crimea we find Malakotf and Mameion. In the Italian campaign we find Montebello, Marignon, Magenta, Milan, Mazzini. Towards the close of his career Mexico appears with Maximilian, Meja, and Miramon. In the war with Germany he pinned his faith upon the Mitrailcuse, and the names of Moltke and Metz are conspicuous enough in the history of that campaign. N. Y. Sun. Inspectors' Report. April, 1893. During this month our inspectors made 6,697 inspection trips, visited 13,018 boilers, inspected 5,470 both internally and externally, and subjected 728 to hydrostatic pressure.
