About O'Clock yesterday morning the

building joining ard Immediately west of the

offices Of the company were also badly dam

OF, and everything 1nlscellancously shaken
up. Ihxcngtne y. thu 'rorat used-np piece
torn to splintets. The engine had hauled a
train into the depot, and stood there about
twenty minutes when the explosion took
placc; the engineer having hold Of the lever
at the time. and being In the act Of starting
the engine to drive out
two severely and one slightly. The engi-
ncer, Mr.. Charles Stake. and tie fireman, q
young Ind named Albert Corwin Miller, zero
roughly handled. Stake has some terrible cuts
on the head, and several wounds on the right
breast, where large pieces Of glass were driven
the head, while his face Is sacrificed with bits Of
broken glass. One OF his fingers is also broken
or dislocated. The sWftch1nan, named Tho
mas Sayers, WIS struck on the knee by mis-
sfle Of some kind and slightly injured. A
number OF other persons we're standing about
ut the time Of the explosion, but ran to the
further end Of the building, and escaped the
falling roof
Stake and Miller had their wounds dressed,
and were taken home. Both will recover. =
a number Of hogs, on platform car next
the engine, were Killed.
The engine Is an old one, the boiler of
which has been leaking for some time. We
understand from one Of the wounded men
that 1t has been repeatedly reported unfit for
service, and been condemned rs unsafe. an
explosion has been anticipated for some time,
and when young Miller went to work In the
morning, he said to bis mother, "Wel1,
mother, II tho pony don't explode to-day OF
Tomorrow, We'll have new one Mondny."
That the explosion was not attended with
loss Of lie Is almost miraculous. As It is, the

better record for immunity from Incidents
than any other in the United States, Is heavy
