THE explosion of a steam-tank in the
rendering establishment at East st. Louis,
H., on the 5th, created no little consterna-
ton in the stock yards and vicinity. Sheds
we're blown into splinters and heavy IRON
work went into the air like tissuepaper
One workman was instantly killed and two
others were seriously injured. While John
Caszca, Jerome Tyler and John Meyerhoeffer
were at work about press near the boiler,
the large tank connected with it shot up in
the air like a rocket, crushing through the
roof. In an instant the whole place was
filled with steam, smoke, pieces of iron
and broken timber. The tank, hurled
back, a shattered, shapeless mass. Great
pieces torn from it went flying i'll
all directions, some being found at a
distance of nearly 800 yards. The roof was
torn off completely and fell in, strewn about
like kinding wood. The explosion was ter
rife, and resounded for a great distance.
Men at work in other portions of the estab-
lishment were almost thrown from their feet
by the shock, so great was its force. John
Meyerhoeffer was discovered firmly pinned
to the ground by two heavy beams. He was
still alive, but suffering great agony. The
steam escaping from one of the tank pipes
had spurted on him, scading him almost
from head to foot. He was quickly released
and carried to his home near by. Tyler was
found a moment later in the same condition
MeyerhOeffer. He received some severe
cuts on the face and body, and his head was
badly gashed. He was also horribly scalded.
The body of Caszca was shockingly mangled,
the top of his head having been blown off
and the face crushed to pulpy mass. The
explosion is attributed to gases generated
from fatty substances and tco much steam.
