Dreadful Explosion on the Central Railroad
Weregret to record lrightful disaster that oc-
CURED on the Genital Railroad, station l21
about O'Clock p. N. "Wednesday last. We have
taken special pains to get the facts and the follow
ing may be relied on The Engine Maryland, at
tached to sixteen freight cars, and on her down
ward trip, stopped at the station above named for
wood and water. Soon after starting again, her
boiler exploded, with a terrible crash, killing in
stantly the engineer and fireman, aud seriously
scading the breakman on the tender. The road
in the immediate neighborhood of the accident was
torn up for some one hundred yarls, and several
cars dam gcd, to what extent We have been una
BILE TO learn. The locomotive thrown forward
at least one bundled feet from the point where the
explosion accurre d, and landed crOsswise on the
track. 1t is said to be complete wreck, though
built of the best material and perfectly sound be
fore the accident. 1t was manufactured by Bald
win of Philadelphia, and has been in the service
OF the road for about four years.
The engineman, whose name was Kelly, was
found lying by the side of the locomotive; while the
fireman, NJ. Barnes, was blown high in the air and
tell about two hundred yards in advance OF the
train. The name Of the breakman, We learn, Is
Michael Shenahan: though severely injured, hopes
are entertained for his recovery. lie was also
blown up aud lodged on the third freight car from
the tender
From the most reliable information we could
gather it would appear that this irightiul accident
caused by the carelesSness OF the engincman,
in allowing the water in the boiler TO become eI'
hausted and then turning in stream OF cold water
upon "A highly heated surface He has paid the
penalty with his life. The loss to the Company is
estimated ut some sc, 600.
