TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
COLUMBUS, o.. Dec. ga large boiler, used
at Hayden's rolling MILL exploded this after
noon while number of workmen were stand
ing around it. The explosion killed Richard
Berry, aged 16, his head being blown from the
terribly scalded and burned, and died in few
moments after taken from the ruins of the
boiler house. VIM. Lewis, aged II, was badly,
and it is feared fatally, injured. Geo. Bell had
his head cut open by fragments Of the boiler, but
may recover. John Trainor was terribly scald-
ed and otherwise badly injured. Mick
Mccarthy, furnace boy, was also badly in
jured. The boiler was made of quarter-inch
IRON and was about thirty feet long, and had
been in use for some years. No reason is given
for the explosion, and it is claimed there were
three guages of water in it when the explosion
occurred. The explosion burst the boiler at
the steam drum, tearing the metal in strips.
A twenty-foot section was thrown through
frame building, thence across a wide street and
through ten-inch brick wall, and finally
struck a large apple tree and fell in yard
about 300 feet from the starting point. All
the mill buildings in the neighborhood of the
boiler house are wrecks.
farmer named Newman, who was unload
ing scrap near the boiler house. was thrown
some distance by the explosion, both legs
broken, and he was otherwise SO iously cut by
the flying missiles.
COLUMBUS, o.. Dec. 5.-The only one injured
by the boiler explosion this afternoon, not
mentioned in the previous report was David r.
Davis, who was standing within ten feet of the
boiler when it exploded. He was BADLY scaided,
and his head cut bya falling brick. William
Lewis, one of the injured, had his flesh scalded
off his face, and will be blind even if he lives.
He was blown five feet, and buried under tho
debris. 1t is supposed the absence of water
i'll the boiler was the reason of the explosion,
the iron at the point of the fracture presents
burned appearance, and no point between the
boiler house and the point at which the boiler
finally fell shows any indications Of water.
