Casualties.
(, dispatch from Iowa City, Iowa, says that
of the cooking tanks i'll Close d Sons
oer-mili exploded, causing the explosion
four others, and utterly destroying the
ck in the stock-rooms, and the heating
zines, and more than half of the mill.
the men at work in the destroyed mill,
were killed-Chiha, the fireman: Gil
re, foreman; Swaler, Turney, Walter
ton, laborers. Herman Bechtal, work
a in a flour-mill near by, had stepped in
The paper-mill about moment before,
I was instantly killed. The bodies of
ina, Beehtel, and Gilmore were blown five
1dred feet across the street and over the
Ises, and were recovered. The bodies of
rney and Swaler were either buried in
ruins or blown into the river. Walter
ton was seen to go up with the tank, and
,r it, to an estimated height of five hun
ID and twelve feet, and falling went
ough the roof of the paint shop, seventy
IDS away from the mill, knocking hole
ough the shingles, the inch sheathing
q cath, and breaking two rafters. He
$ found this morning lying on the floor of
room beneath. The value of the mil
s S250,000, and the loss of Mr.. Close is
put $50, 1000. 1t is decided that it was
smical explosion; the pressure at the
lers was only fifty pounds, and less at
exploded tanks. The straw is pulped
the tanks with lime and acids, and this
'mical combination must have evolved
explosive force far greater than was pos
lie with steam pressure of forty pounds.
