132 THE LOCOMOTIVE. [September, "We have not learned full particulars, but as the plant was running again, two days later, the damage was probably small. (175.) — A boiler is said to have exploded on June 10th, in the wrecking establishment of T. P. Whitelaw, San Francisco, Cal., during the course of a fire. (176.) — A boiler exploded on June 11th, twenty miles southwest of Huntington, W. Va., at Inez, where the Triple State Natural Gas and Oil company was putting down a test well. Frank Walter was fatally scalded, and several other men were also injured to a lesser extent. (177.) — On June 13th the boiler of Union Pacific locomotive No. 1,831 exploded between Clark's and Haden's, Xeb. Fireman David P. Jenkins was killed instantly, and Engineer Charles Fulmer was injured so badly that he died before he could be removed to the caboose. Brakeman David R. Fleming was also seriously but not fatally injured. The locomotive was blown to atoms. (178.) — A boiler exploded on June 13th, during the course of a fire in the Royal Match Factory, in Clifton township, near Passaic, N. J. (179.) — A boiler exploded on June 13th, in the Big Dick mill at Joplin, Mo. The mill, which belonged to the International Zinc company, was completely wrecked. Debris was scattered for 200 yards in every direction, and the explosion was heard twenty miles away. Six men were in the boiler room at the time, but none of them was injured. Those who visited the ruins said that the escape of these men was as- tounding. (180.) — On June 13th a boiler exploded in Strange & Harden's sawmill, about four miles west of Whitney, on the Alabama Great Southern railroad, near Asheville, Ala. Charles Harden was instantly killed, and the mill was demolished. (181.) — On June 13th a boiler exploded in Baker & Few's sawmill, some five miles south of McEwen, Tenn. Johh Tripp, Oliver Priest, Albert Gunn, and a boy named Holland were injured, and the mill was totally wrecked. (182.)— On June 13th a boiler exploded in the cotton factory at Halifax, N. S. The mill was considerably damaged, but as the explosion occurred during the noon hour, while the operatives were at dinner, nobody was injured. (183.) — A boiler exploded on June 15th, in Philip Stadhem's cooper shop, Phila- delphia, Pa. Engineer John Murgatroyd was fearfully burned and scalded, but at last accounts it was believed that he would recover. Some local Solon explains the explosion in the following rather novel fashion : " The excessive dampness in the air this morning, it is said, affected the draft in the boiler, and in consequence the fire flowed back, causing the steam tank to blow up." This is a brand-new one on us! (184.) — A boiler exploded on June 17th, at the Colorado Fuel & Iron company's mine, at Starkville, near Trinidad, Col. Night Engineer William Pollard and Fireman Martinez Assamonti were killed, and Bernard Cervilli was scalded so badly that he w T ill probably die. (185.) — On June 19th a boiler exploded in the water works at Champaign, 111. The explosion occurred shortly after five o'clock in the morning, and nobody was injured. The damage was small, being confined chiefly to the boiler. The roof of the boiler-house was raised several feet, but it fell back nicely into place again.
1901.] THE LOCOMOTIVE. 133 (186.)— A boiler exploded on Juiie 20th, on the farm of Joshua Strange, nine miles east of Marion, Ind. Ernest Strange was fatally injured, and John Sherron was badly hurt, though he will recover. (187.) — On June 20th the boiler of a big mogul freight engine on the Chicago & Alton railroad exploded at Blue Cut, some fifteen miles east of Kansas City, Mo. Engi- neer George Gerew was killed, and Fireman Willis Crowley was fatally injured. None of the passengers was injured. The tracks were torn up for a distance of 100 feet. (188.) — On June 29th a boiler exploded in Simon Bartlett's sawmill, on George's Creek, ten miles from Louisa, Ky. Oscar Miller, who was running the mill, was badly scalded, and his two children, who were playing near the boiler, were scalded so badly that one of them died during the following night, and the other probably cannot live. Inspector's Report. April, 1901.
