Two Men KiI.ed and many Injured.

despatch from Troy, N. y, Dec
"A says: A serious explosion occurred
at : A. NJ. to day at one of the large
mill- operated by Corning x Co., in the
love- part Of this city. Alfred st.
Charles, tender, relieved the
night hand and began filing the boiler
with cold water when it was nearly
empty. The boiler exploded with a
terrific crash. st. Charles was instant
ly killed and his body buried under
the ruins. The remains, when recover
ed, were an unrecognizable mass of
pulpy flesh and crumbled bones. The
clothing only was the means OF identi-
fcation. Thomas Gentleman apuddler
at work under the boiler, was so badly
burned that death ensued hours after
ward, Six other operatives were severe
ly injured, but not fatally. Had the
accident occurred five minute. later
the loss Of lif. would have been great,
because large number of molders
would have been directly in the path
Of the boiler head and where the debris
fell. One wall was shattered and a
portion Of the roof fell in from the force
Of a broken piece, and bricks and tim
bers were scattered in all directions
about the scene. These flying pieces
caused tie wounds to the other men.
The boiler was a new one. The dam,
age to the mill property will be about
SO, 900. A fire resulted in the mill,
but was soon suhdued. Fifty men
we're near the boiler at the time it ex-
ploded, n score of them received slight
flesh wounds from splinters. The flying
part of iron struck pile of pig~iron,
which stopped its passage, else large
number Of men directly III its course
would have been injured. The boiler
,ndpr ho caused the accident al
was killed, had filed his position for IL
years.
