FATAL DISASTER IN THE IRON

At Least Five Persons Killed.

BETHLEHAM, Pa. Jan. 9.-Shortly
after two O'Clock this afternoon a
frighfful boiler explosion occurred
at No l blast furnace of the Bethle-
ham Iron Company, resulting in the
death of four men and a woman.
and in the serious injury of several
others. Ten boilers were located
over the engine-house at an eleva-
ton of thirty-hve feet. Fiveo { these
we're forty inches in diameter and
t~hirty-slx feet in length, and the
others were smaller, and were dsed
for heating purposes. Two of the
largest boilers exploded with terrific
force, wrecking the interior of the
engine-house. One of the boilers
was carried through the ventilators.
and broke through the roof OF the
old mill and fell to the ground. OF.
the ten buildings only three were
left in position The scene that fol-
lowed was one of alarm and con-
sternation. The workmen rushed
to and fro in their excitement, aud
it was at first believed that the loss
of life was much greater. The inte-
rior of the engine-house was filled
with debris, and men were at once
put to work to search for those miss
ing. An hour or so after the bodies
of George Greatly aid Jesse Bright,
the engineers, were found. At the
time of the explosion they were en-
Iaged in repairing the machinery
connected with the boiler. Samuel

No tangible ground for such a theo-

on good authority that there was no
fire in the rear portion of the build

quartered on the upper floors could
have escaped. However, the smoke
was dense, and those who were not

THE destruction of property by
fire in the United States and Canada
during the year 1882 reached a total
of S90,250,000. Over ten million
dollars worth of property was burned
up in December. In so far as these
losses are covered by insurance they
are in the nature of a tax upon in
sured property throughout the
country. But the sum Of damage is
a total loss largely due 10 individual
carelessness.
