TIE MIYNEAPOLLS EXPLOSION.

LATER ESTIMATES OF LOSS OF LIFE.
THE NUMBER or KILLED PLACED AT SEVENTEEN
FIVE FLOUR MILLS AND PLANNING MILL DE
sTRoYED-noss 81 100000.
| ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 3.-The first rumors from
| Minneapolis tO-nigh placed the number of dead at
from seventy 10 eighty, but these are not ver'
| fled by inquiry. The explosion took place at the
hour of changing day for night hands, and many
of both were undoubtedly in the building
twenty-five men went on in the Wash
burn Mill at 6:3O o'clock, nouc of whom
were heard from up to $50 o'clock, be-
sides these many of the day force must have been III
the building. Up to o'clock the list of killed and
injured, so far as ascertained. is as follows:
| Big Mill-Grinders, Charles Kenning, Frederick
Merrill and Clark Wilbur oilers, VIM. Leslie and
Chris. Ewing; machnists Ole SHE, Walter Savage
Patrick Judd, Edward Merrill Watchmen, Harry
Hicks, E. W. Burbank, and an unknown man were
killed. August Smith was blown out of the window
and hurt, but not killed.
Diamond Mill-John Boyer, killed; David Ward
had gone out after pail of water and escaped I'M
hurt.
Galaxy Mill-Joe Mantee, who was in the third
story after the wall was blown out, jumped down
into the canal and escaped unhurt
Zenith Mil-TwO men, Wndstrum and Fred
George were killed.
Later investigation confirms tho opinion that the
first estimates of the loss of life were
exaggerated The number Of dead is now placed at
seventeen. There were many thrilling incidents
and narrow escapes. Daniel Day was blown the
whole length of Petit q RObinsOH's mil, through
the rear window and escaped with slight injury
One poor fellow, who could not be rec
oguized, had escaped alive from the eX-
plosion, aid was observed crawling through the
flames toward the track of the Minneapolis and ST.
Louis Railroad, directly in the rear of the Washburn
Mills. He managed TO reach the rail and
there evidently became exhausted and fell back into
the raging fire behind, where his agonies instantly
ended 1t now appears that most of the day
force had gone home, and only the smaller
night force remained The loss of property
~ enormous. but the confusion is too great
for an intelligent estimate ut present. rOngh cal
culaton places il at 81 100000 of which $1,000
600 will fall upon the milling interest
The loss throughout the city by the break
ing of glass; etc. is $4,000 Five flour mills and one
planning mill were destroyed besides adjoining
property including 81 ont of the 1877 runs of stone
in the city.
