Fearful Explosion

Tho Albany IN. w Journal Of Thursday has an
account of an explosion that morning, Of so ton
boiler In the Edison dlstillery. 1t says;
The building In which the boiler was placed was
| east of the main building, but 90 great was
the force of the steam that the branch Of the
safety-valve, piece OF cast iron weighing 1o
| pounds, was driven through the main building
carrying away the greater portion Of the rear Wall
of the extension, portion of the front, and was
found imbedded In q lot on Broadway two hundred
yards off Another piece was found la Churtn
street. two blocks off, the doors of the boiler were
carried one hundred yards north, and FOUND upon
vacant lot; another piece penetrated the fooi Oh
building facing the river, and portion was car
ried into tho river. Not more than 3ou pounus y.
this ten-ton boiler were to be seen IN tne room
had been placed In. The boiler Is literary demo
ished, and the addition to the distillery, building
thirty feet front and three stories hisn Is cut in'o
Q mass of ruin.
The remains of Cyrus Edison, the owner OF the
establishment, were found In the second story OF
the istlery sixty feet north Of the boiler room,
between the braces under steep tub, with por'
ton of his face cut off, one boot off his foot the
sole of the other carried of, and bis body horribly
manged
nized by his clothing
James Donnivan, q laborer on the works; his
head and legs were severed from his body.
Among the rubbish was found leg for which
body was carried into the river.
Daniel Boyle, plumber in the employ of Peter
Smith & Sons, was badly scalded, blown into the
river. but was rescued from drowning. His arm
was broken.
Phex McCaffrey, in the employ of the same
firm, was also badly scalded, and was found with
his pants and boots stripped off.
There Were quite a number of workmen in the
establishment, some of whom narrowly escaped
death. u. Preslie, carpenter, was in the new
building at the time when Mr.. Edison was found
After the explosion he found himself surrounded
with fragments of the structure uninjured.-
Others were stunned by the shock, but were not
injured.
OF the cause of the explosion, there are variety
of opinions, but the most satisfactory one is that
all new boilers are apt to foam the engineer may
have been deceived in the quantity of water in
the boiler, and had also neglected to notice the
steam-guage until the water had reached low
DEPTH and that the sudden admission of cold water
had caused collapse The boiler had been tested
two days before and was found to bear double
the quantity of steam necessary for carrying on the
works.
Up to the latest accounts there was no owner to
be found for the leg found in the distillery and
general impression prevailed that the remainder of
the person was thrown into the river. A dense
concourse of people still going to and coming
from the scene of the disaster.
