TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Philadelphia Families Buried
Beneath the Ruins Of
their Homes.
DREADFUL DEATH OF AN ENGINEER
National Associated Press to the Star.

| National Associated Press to the Star
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 27.-One of the
most calamitous boiler explosions known
in this city occurred this morning IT the
saw and planning mill of Alpheus Wilt &
Son, which has frontage on the east side
OF Front street, above Fairmount avenue,
from I'll to No. 1923 inclusive.
The mill opened for work at the usual
hour-about o'clock. Life was moving
on in that vicinity in its customary way,
and in less than one hour the boiler and
other machinery of the engine-house was
scattered in various directions and had per-
formed its ghastly work.
One house situated in rear court was
actually razed to the ground so that a
stranger would hardly conjecture its previ-
GUS existence; while in the ruins beneath
were buried a whole family.
In another house an end of the boiler had
shot through the brick wall and lodged
itself on the second floor and so demolished
everything that all evidence of habtation,
except the house itself, was absolutely ex-
tinct. The explosion occurred Just about
quarter before o'clock. The furnaces
were fired with shavings, which necessi-
tates firing up about every fifteen min
utes.
The engineer had just fired up and was
oittlhB III tue eIlSlne-nOuSe, reading, ana
before he knew the cause he was a dead
man. He was sitting directly in front of
the boiler, which end it was that blew out,
and was hurled with the huge piece of iron
across Court street, through the wall and
into the second story of the house standing
at the southeast corner of the two alleys
He was found lying in heap in one corner
OF the room with his ribs crushed in and
his mouth torn from ear to ear
As already stated, there adjoined the
boiler-house on the north, three frame
houses, beginning with No. II, in the first
OF which lived John McAvoy and his wife
and three children. When the boiler
parted, the engne-house was torn into
atoms, without a brick left standing, and
No. II suffered the same fate. John Nc
Avoy had gone to work, and Mrs. McAvoy,
with the assistance of one of the children,
was clearing away their breakfast table
All four were in the house at the time,
together with dog. and'when the calamity
came they were all buried in the ruins, and
the only body taken out uninjured up to
10 o'clock was that of the dog. Claud Long,
the son, who was aged eight years, was, it
Is believed, killed instantly. His dead body
was found and extricated shortly after the
explosion.
Stella Long was taken out of the ruins
severely injured, but her wounds may not
prove fatal.
After working considerable time men
came to Mrs. McAvoy's arms, apparently
outstretched, but before they extricated
her dea til had relieved her of suffering.

THE GAMBLING CASES.
Why They are Dismissed in the Police
Court


The Police Commissioners, at meeting
week or so ago, took occasion to pass a
resolution rejecting discredit upon the
manner in which gambling cases were dis
posed of in the Police Court. If the Board
Of Police Commissioners would have been
present in the Court room yesterday after
noon, when the cases of Pate Cumr,;;I,ps
VIM Barwise, VIM. Oliver and Frank Mor'
rissey, charged with exhibiting gaming de.
vices at No. % Longworth stree. we're tried
Defefe jury, they would have seen very
plainly why gamblers are not convicted.
In this case two patrolmen testified that
they had been detailed especially to visit
the premises (where a game of keno was
known to be in progressl discover who was
engaged iE the game and then pull the
house. They did this and carried out the
orders of their superior officers by arrest
ing the defendants. When on the witness
stand one officer stated that the only one of
the defendants he could identify was Bar
wise, the door-keeper
The other officer could not swear that
any of the prisoners were in the house at
the time but thought that to the best of
his knowledge Cummings was behind the
desk. Both the officers stated that they
nau engaged III the game, and when asked
to describe how keno was played they could
not do it. This was all the testimony the
officers had Now, how could Judge or
jury convict men on such testimony, when
there was none shown that the prisoners
had been in the house at all?
If the Police Commissioners are honest in
their intentions and really wish to convict
the gamblers when they are brought before
Judge Wilson, let them have sufficient evi-
dence to do it with. The jury very prop
erly acquitted the defendants on the testi-
mony that was offered
