The explosion of a steam fire engine in
New York, which has already been men
toned by telegraph, was CAUSED as follows:
A FIRE was discovered about nine o'clock
in the evening on the 6fth floor Of No. So
BOwery, directly opposite the Bowery thea
tire. First to arrive en- the scene was en-
gine company No. 8, in charge of Stuart
Carson, foreman, and Patrick W. Hand,
engineer, This engine took position I'M
front of the pit entrance TO the theatre, and
began working.
The engine continued to work steadily
and without incident for thirty minutes,
when an order was issued to take up'' pre-.
paratOry to going home. The machine was
not the one usually in charge of the COM
pany, but the original No l, the first of
the Amoskeag pattern built for the New
York fire department, and had been in con-
tinuous use for two years. .Ai4
As the order to take up was given, an act
of the performance in the theatre concluded,
and crowd of men and boys poured out of
the pit and other doors upon the sidewalk
directly in the vicinity Of the engine. The
engineer, upon receiving the order, turned
on cold water upon his heated boiler, aud
the result was an instant explosion, which
hurled the engine in mid air, and falling in
ruined mass upon the sidewalk. Masses
ofiTon, CRATE bars, and pieces of rails were
| torn from the framework and hurled
through the crowd of human beings, being
thrown in some Instances u distance of one
hundred feet. The steam from the boiler
scalded all within its reach. .s. -
The police of the sixth precinct proceeded
to extricate the dead aud wounded, and
! found the bodies of three men and one boy
| who had been killed outright. The wound-
| ed were taken to the City hospital, where
/ their injuries received prompt attention.
