Boiler Explosion" as Stockton.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-Ad-
ditional particulars of the boiler
explosion at Stockton yesterday are
to the effect that, at the time of the
explosion, the steam indicator
showed forty pounds of steam with
a heavy fire in the furnace. Both
ends OF the engine were blown out;
the fly wheel was blown to atoms.
Five minutes before the accident
engineer Avery was warned that
he could never work the engine in
such condition. Avery answered
"She will either work or bust"
Practical engineers and boiler
makers, after examining the boiler
this morning, declare1that it was in
good order and safe. Chas. Harris
had his skull fractured badly and
is not expected to live. Thos. Sed-
wick is not dead as reported, and
will recover. Frank Andrews Is
very badly injured and his re.
covery doubtful. Arthur Tink-
ham, Jr., is very badly scald-
ed; recovery doubtful. Lot Bliss
is very badly hurt and not expected
to live. Milton Hart, badly
scalded, died last evening, No
further deaths or injuries have
been reported. No more bodies
have been found in the slough, but
men are still engaged In dragging
it. The balance of the wounded
are doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected. Uriel, Cosgrove and Avery
were buried to-day. The rest Of
the killed will be buried tom orrow,
except Folsom, whose remains will
be forwarded to his family in
Maine. Parties and balls an
nounced for next week have been
postponed on account of the explo-
sion.
CWe learn from a gentleman from
Stockton, who was an eyewitness
to the explosion, that there were
nineteen killed and as many
wounded. Two of the bodies were
taken from the slough. The ends
of the engine and truck which it
was on were blown fifteen feet.
Some of the pieces of the
boiler were blown over the
tops of the buildings and
landed in the streets. In one
place there were twelve bodies
lying nearly In o heap; one Of them
BUR Informant states, had his head
cut almost entirely from the body,
the neck only holding by few
tendons, while all, or nearly all,
were more or less disfigured.-ED.
