Casualties.
A dispatch from Iowa City, Iowa. says that
one of the cooking tanks in Close Il Sons
paper-mill exploded, causing the explosion
of four others, and utterly destroying the
stock in the stock-rooms, and the heating
engines, and more than half of the mill.
OF the men at work in the destroyed mill,
six were killed-Chiha, the fireman Gill
more, foreman Swaler, Turney, Walter
Sinton, laborers. Herman Bechtal, work
man in a four-mill near by, had stepped in
to the paper.mill about q moment before,
and was instantly killed. The bodies of
hundred feet across the street and over the
houses, and were recovered. The bodies of
Turney and Swaler were either buried in
the ruins or blown into the river. Walter
Sinton was seen to 60 up with the tank, and
over it, to an estimated height of five hun
dred and twelve feet, and falling went
through the roof of the paint shop, seventy
yards away from the mill, knocking hole
through the shingles, the inch sheathing
ben cath, and breaking two rafters. He
was found this morning lying on the floor of
the room beneath. The value of the mill
was $250,000, and the loss of Mr.. Close is
about $4,000. 1t is decided that it was a
chemical explosion; the pressure at the
boilers was only fifty pounds, and less at
in the tanks with lime and acids, and this
chemical combination must have evolved
an explosive force far greater than was pot
sible with steam pressure of forty pounds.
