dows at the upsightly mass within, where the
fremen were busily engaged with picks, shovels,
and lanterns in clearing away the debris in the

fortunate man has been blown to atoms, and

accident.

The boiler is stated by Mr. Welch, the pro.
prietor OF the turning and scroll-sawing esta-
blishment, to have been almost new, having
been in use only about two months 1t was
purchased at cost of $4,000. There is as yet
no explanation of the cause of the explosion;
and as the engineer and fireman have both un-
fortunately persisted in the disaster, there is
probably no means of ascertaining the true solu-
tion of the accidents indeed, it is doubtful, even
il they were alive that they could tell much
about the matter. Mr. Welch says he had always
considered the engineer an extremely cautious,
prudent, aud conscientious man, and he had
been employed in the establishment for the last
three or four years. The loss occasioned to the
factory by the explosion is stated by the pro-
prietor to be in the neighborhood of $15, 900,
though, of course, up to the present time, he
has no opportunity of making u detailed and
careful estimate. Mr. Mitchell, who occupies
the adjoining premises, computes the damage
in his case sustained by the accident at about
$1,000, while the destruction which has resulted
to the dwelling house of Mr.. Hausman, No. 30S
Twenty street, where the refractory boiler
ultimately landed is estimated at $4,000.
