Death by Scalding-Four Men Killed by
 aBursting Boiler.
 PORTSMOUTH April 3.-A terrible catastro- phe occurred at the saw and blaming mill of Booth, Carman & Co.,, on Ferry Point oppo- site High street, in this city, yesterday morn ing soon after the mill commenced work, by which four men lost their lives instantly another IS dying and four others are dread fully scalded. It seems that after saving up a couple of logs and at ten minutes to 8 o'clock the mill was stopped to repair the nipple of the feed pipe of the boiler, and, as was customary during the winter, most of the hands employed about the mill rushed down in the fire room to keep warm while the mill was not in motion. When the men were fairly huddled together the pipes form ing the back connection gave way, and the steam escaped in terrific volume through the furnace doors into the fire room, cover ing the throng of men who had gathered there with fire and steam, killing four in- stantly and wounding four others. Andrew Brown (white), Thomas Greek, Moses Con- way and Luke Whitehurst (colored) were scalded to death. Robert James and Robert Brown (colored) will die from their scalds Lew Mingo, Lorenzo Backus and Edward Morton (colored) were badly scalded, but their injuries are not necessarily mortal
