1901.] THE LOCOMOTIVE. qj and considerable damage was done to surrounding property; but there were no personal injuries. (74. ) — A flue bursted, on March 1st, in the curled grass factory at North Judson Ind. Nobody was injured. (75.) — A slight boiler explosion occurred, on March 1st, on the Leared farm, near Findlay, Ohio. Three persons were in the boiler-house at the time, but none was injured. (76.) — Three boilers out of a battery of six exploded, on March 2d, in the P. & R. C. & I. Company's Bast colliery, at Big Mine Run, near Ashland, Pa. Considerable damage was done to the boiler-house and the surrounding buildings, but nobody was injured. (77.) — On March 2d, a boiler exploded in Jacob Lindernood's grist-mill, at Creu- zet, Gallia county, Ohio. Brady Lindemood, Emmet Sheets, and Samuel Parker were instantly killed, and Bert Irion was injured so badly that he died a few hours later. George Chick, J. L. Dailey, and John Tryon were also seriously injured. The building was wrecked. (78.) — A boiler exploded, on March 4th, at Colliery No. 12, Lansford, Pa. Daniel Shovelin and two other men whose names we have not learned, were badlv scalded. (79.) — An oil well boiler exploded, on March 5th, on the Given lease, on the Brady farm, in the Island Creek held, near Toronto, Ohio. The boiler-house was demolished, and the boiler was hurled 30 feet in the air; but nobody was injured. (80.) — A heating boiler exploded, on March 6th, in Charles W. Reimers' green- house, at Crescent Hill, near Louisville, Ky. The total property loss was probably about $2,000. (81.) — A boiler exploded, on March 6th, on the tug-boat Nettie Tiee, belonging to the Hudson Towiug Company, of Hoboken, N. J. James Curtin received injuries which may prove fatal, and Harry Free, John Mahler, and Thomas Wright were badly bruised. The explosion destroyed the whole superstructure of the boat. (82.) — The State Normal College at Shepherdstown, W. Va., was totally destroyed, on March 9th, by an explosion which wrecked the building and then set fire to the ruins. The explosion is believed to have been a boiler explosion. The property loss is estimated at $30,000. Fortunately the accident occurred during a half holiday, and no stu- dents were in the building. (S3.) — On March 9th, the boiler of W. A. Downs' sawmill exploded at Montour, near Marshalltown, Iowa. L. G. Carter and Harry Smith were badly injured. (84.) — On March 11th, a boiler exploded in the Doremus laundry, on West Madison street, Chicago, wrecking the entire block of buildings on the south side of Madison street, from Loomis street to Throop. Thirty-six of the employees of the laundry were in the place at the time. Katherine Kelly, Bessie Kucaba, Emma Sebreska, Minnie Olson, George Pihl, Frank Hanniman, Martha Jacobi, and an unidentified man were killed outright, and Theodore Van Alten died in the hospital next day. The number of injured is estimated at twenty-five, and at last accounts it was thought that some of these would die. It appears that the buildings were not very valuable, and that the damaged stores did not contain any great quantity of valuable stock. The property
