A shocking accident occurred in
New York, on the 18th instant.
Steam engine No. 8 was working on
a fire near the Bowery Theatre, as
the audience was retiring, when the
boiler exploded, killing five persons
immediately, and wounding thirty or
forty more. The explosion is sup
posed to have resulted from lack of
water in the boiler, the iron plates
becoming over-heated and the cold
water being suddenly putin, generat-
ed n species of gas rs we'll as steam,
thereby causing the explosion, which
blew the boiler into fragments, many
of which were cast long distance
from where the engine stood.
