1901.] THE LOCOMOTIVE. 4£1 more, near .Ionia, Mich. Nobody was hurt. The property loss was about $2,000. This mill has been peculiarly unfortunate, as this is its second boiler explosion, and it was also once destroyed by tire. (257.) — On August 29th the boiler of a traction engine exploded on the farm of Edwin Bass, Jr., in Berlin Township, about a mile east of Maiden, 111. Engineer Ab- bott Lawrence had his leg broken, but nobody else was injured. The engine belonged to James Watson, of Berlin. (258.)— A boiler exploded on August 30th, in Frederick Brueningsen's repair shop, at Hastings, Neb. Nobody was injured, but the building in which the boiler stood was almost completely wrecked. (259.)— A boiler exploded, on August 31st, in the Eagle Foundry, at Cony, Pa.. near the shops of the Climax Engine Company. George Neville and William Hazel were seriously injured, but both will recover. The boiler was blown through the roof of the building to a height of fifty feet, taking the entire roof with it, and badly wreck- ing the upper portion of the structure. [This explosion and the foregoing ones were re- ceived too late for insertion in the regular August list.] (260.) — A boiler exploded, on or about September 1st, in E. A. Poarch's sawmill, at Stony Creek, near Petersburg, Va. We have not learned of any personal injuries, but the mill was wrecked. (2G1.) — On September 2d a boiler exploded on a dredge boat on Moose Creek, near Salmon City, Idaho. Superintendent Dunlap was instantly killed, and four of the workmen were seriously injured. The boilers were new, and had been worked only about four months. (2G2.)— A boiler exploded on September 3d, in Savage & Williams' cotton gin at Personville, near Mesa, Tex. Mr. J. M.Williams, one of the owners of the gin, was killed, and the foreman, Mr. John Beasley, was badly scalded, and may not recover. The gin was completely wrecked. (203.) — On September 3d the boiler of a threshing outfit belonging to G. Edwards & Son, exploded on the John L. Saunders farm, at Honey Creek, near New Castle, Ind. Asa Fadley, the engineer, was injured so badly that it was thought that he could not recover, and his death was reported to have occurred; but according to later advices he was improving, and it was thought probable that he would recover. David Richmond was also injured seriously. (264.) — The boiler of a threshing outfit exploded, on September 3d, at Daileyton, some twelve miles north of Greeneville, Tenn. Engineer Alfred Harris was instantly killed, and Charles Newberry was injured so badly that he died a few days later. John Hatley, John Linebaugh, and John Wattenbarger were injured seriously but not fatally. Mr. Wattenbarger was the owner of the boiler. (265.) — A boiler exploded, on September 3d, in the Musser sawmill, at Muscatine, Iowa. Robert Carter, David L. Dulgar, and John Dulgar were badly bruised and scalded, and at last accounts it was thought probable that two of them would die. The south wall of the building in which the boiler stood was blown out, and the building and its contents were practically ruined. (266.) — A boiler exploded, on September 4th, in M. L. Peck's sawmill on Sideling Hill, near McConnellsburg, Pa. Noonan Mann was instantly killed, and James Craig
