BOILER ExrLos1oN-One Nun Killed
About tour o'clock last evening loud
report drew the attention of people in the
neighborhood of Girod Street Cemetery to
the paper mill building, on Liberty street.
between Julia and Girod streets. large
rotary boiler had exploded, from what
cause is not definitely ascertained, but par.
ticulars will most likely be positively
CLEANED to-day when the coroner holds his
inquest on the victim. One man, H. e.
Mahan, an employe, was instantly killed,
his body having been terribly mangled by
the explosion and rush Of escaping steam
Sandy Rose was bruised, and it is not i'm
probable he will be out in less than week.
He was taken to the Charity Hospital.
Mrs. Rasherd, living near the mill, was in
jured, but it is not thought seriously.
The boiler that exploded rotates, and is
used for bleaching paper, and at the time
of the accident had on only about sixty
pounds of steam. For the first time the
company had commenced to manufacture
white paper, and the boiler had passed
through the hands of mechanic last week,
when he pronounced it as good as it ever
was. He evidently did not know what he
was saying. One portion of the boiler landed
more than hundred feet from the building,
lighting in an old shanty near Girod street,
doing little damage. Another portion Of
the boiler went in an opposite direction,
harming nothing. The mill itself is not
shattered or torn, and we are informed that
operations will be resumed to-day The loss'
financially, will not embarrass the company
in the least.
nc. Mahan, who was killed, was brother
to C. Mahan, ex-tax collector, and was
employed in the mill. There were many
persons employed about the building at the
time, vet they all escaped with nothing
more serious than great fright.
