despatch says: A terrific explosion &C.
Cured at 2:3O o'clock to-day at the head
of Stockton slough, on Eldora street. A
crowd of more than 200 people had assem-
bled to witness trial of the new propeller
pump set iu the slough and run by
threshing engine. Those who stood near
were Frustrated, and the body of the en-
Rineer was blown distance of $50 feet
through the crowd. The dead lay pros
trate in every direction, some falling into
the slough from the bridge. Ten or twelve
dead bodies lay in one heap at the north
west corner of the bridge. Others lay
strewn dead and dying on the street, blown
from fifty to one hundred feet. The heads
of some were blown TO pieces. Others
were blown to the ground with such force
as to break every bone 10 their bodies.
The wounded were promptly cared for
aud the dead left undisturbed until the
excitement had subsided, when they we're
removed to the coroner's Office. The ex-
plosion was the result of recklessness on
the part of the engineer. The steam
gauge refused to work, and after the en-
gineer had attempted to fix it and failed.
he screwed down the safety valve and went
on with the work. The explosion occurred
about fifteen minutes afterward. Sixteen
were killed and twenty-six wounded, o.
whom four will probably die. ldany were
blown down ii considerable distance and
escaped uninjured. The body of the en-
CINE, weighing $500 pounds, was blown
over the telegraph wires and landed on
