A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
A FIGURING Mill at Stryker, O., Torn to Pieces
and Three Men Killed.

BRYAN O., June 28.-A terrific boiler ex
plosion occurred last night at Stryker, small
place eight miles from here, in the Touring mills
of Behren & Shaefer. About forty men were
employed in the mill at the time, and the ex-
plos on was so terrible in its force that the large
mill was blown almost to atoms, and among
its debris were buried twenty-seven Of the
Moves. eleven of whom were extricated in a
dying condition. The explosion so great
that pieces of the boiler, machinery and stones
from the mill were hurled through the air a dis
lance of a quarter of mile. One piece of the
boiler about three feet square, weighing, proba
bly,, more than 100 pounds was sent flying
through the roof of a house fully quarter of a
mile from the mill 1t took nearly the whole
roof off, and the falling tmbers seriously in
jured Miss Nellie and George Winters, two of
the occupants of the house The cause of the
explosion not know, but it was the most ter
rifc that ever occurred IN this section.
Ed Foster the engineer, was thrown nearly 300
feet He was terribly scalded and mangled
but lived for three hours. O. r. Ayers, his
assistant was hurled through the roof 300 feet
away. He has since died. The following are
the killed;
Edward Foster, E. R. Ayers. James Fisher,
dead: James Shill, w. Roop and ]. II. Brennan,
mortally wounded. Frank Douglas, j. Ramsey,
John Weller and Michael Cooney are so badly
hurt that they may die.
The latest reports from there are that seven Of
the victims are dead. Besides these mentioned
above, eight others were seriously injured,
while nearly every person in the mill was more
or less injured. The work of extricating the in
jured was not completed until early this morn
ing While the work being carried on,
women and children, whose fathers and hus
bands were buried in the debris, filled the air
with their lamentations The scene was indeed
pitiful one. 1t is thought more of the injured
will die

height of FIVE hundred feet. From this point
the pyramdal roof (ifty-ive feet high will be-
gin. All the stones which have been laid thus
far have smooth finish on the inside but the
stones of the next course jut a little on the
inside, and the next ones little further,
and so on, these corbels forming the
support for the interior arch, which
will be the base of the pyramidal
roof 1t is expected that the monument will
reach height of 500 feet in less than two
months time Steps will then be taken to com
mence the work upon the roof, and while that
work itself will not occupy more than three
weeks, the preparations fer it will be so delicate
and of such different character from any here
tofore made, that it will be some time before the
laying of stone is begun. By the LIST of Novem-
Der it is confidently expected that the structure
will be under cover and practically completed
There will be some finishing touches to be
made, perhaps but these can wait until next
year, if necessary Very detailed and carefully
prepared plans show how the roof is to be con
structed and everything has been arranged in
advaDca
