ford. The boiler, which wee of 404 ores power. was
one of three, on the Cornish principle, paced side by
side at one end of the works, sad was used to supply
steam for the vesoils is the pattern dyehouse. The
stoker had fortunately left the finng-up room
when the explosion took place. The load
report was heard at a great distance. The boiler
was lifted from its seat, and a great portion of
it was torn from the met and carried a distance
of 18 or 20 yards. The roof of the boiler Isom, was
blown off. and a partition wall of the dyehouee, and a
portion of the roof were blown down and carried away.
Bricks, stones, and pieces of iron were scattered in •
deem shower in all directions around, some portion of
the ironwork being found at • distance of 150 yards
from the place. Ilsay workpeople in the dylocuis
had very narrow escapes, and we regret to say that
two of them, an old man named William House, and a
young man mimed lame Brook, were very severely scalded
and otherwise injured, by the overflow of steam end the
shower of stones and bricks. The former was removed to
his own dwelling house, and the latter to the Bradford
leflonary. They are both in a precarious muddies. One
large atom fell through the roof of Mr. W..Sutcliffe, manager
of the works. The cause of the accident is attributed to the
thinness of some of the boiler plates. There was an ample
supply of water ire the toiler, and the safety valve and other
apparatus were in perfect working condition. The boiler
was put down by Mr. Crooked, of Mulford, ten years ago.
