A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION of an engine of
the Western Maryland Railroad took ace
At Union Bridge, Md, yesterday afternoon
resulting in the death Of the engineer, John
w. Rumspert, and the severe wounding of
the fireman, George Carr. For some minutes
before the explosion occurred the engineer
was oD the top OF the cab screwing down the
SAFETY valve, and in q position In which he
could not see the steam gauge, and as the
blower was on 1t is presumed that steam
generated very rapidly, and that the explo-
sion was OccasiOned by excessive pressure
The explosion was terrific, tearing the she'll
OF the boiler into small fragments and
throwing portions of the machinery fully
one thousand feet. The engine is a com plete
wreck, even the frame being torn in pieces,
and will not be rebuilt. An INQUEST has
been held and the jury rendered a verdict
that John w. Rumspert came to his death
by the explosion OF engine No OF Western
