Boiler EXplosiOn-EngIneer Killed, Two

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 6.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March D.
The boiler at J, T. Trees dveing establish
ment in this city exploded this forenoon,
killing John Trees, Jr., engineer, and fatally
mi uring VIM. Moreland and Michael Cron-
an, two employees. Moreland was recently
released from State prison, after serving a
sentence for breaking into the safe of the
Arlington Mills. SO great was the force of
the explosion. that the three buildings were
shattered into splinters. Pieces of the boiler
and rocks were thrown four hundred feet,
crashing through the roofs of buildings. but
injuring nobody. The boiler was of New
market make, tubular, thirty horse power,
recently tested under a hundred pound water
pressure, and declared safe. 1t had not beef
in use since Saturday last. 1t is supposed
that when it fired up this forenoon, the
water in the tubes was frozen, and it il
thought that while the boilers heated, Trees
turned on cold water, thus causing the ex-
plosion.

rolling of the saloon car threw everything
into confusion. The stove. in which there
was bright fire, was smashed. The oil can
tipped over and the oil ran out on the cushions,
saturating them. A blaze from the stove
touched them, and in an instant the car was
ablaze. Conductor Dunlap and the brake
man were both thrown over. They made a
tough struggle TO save things in the burning
car but were unable 10 do much. Mr.. Dun

of the freight car head were hitched to the
shackler of the saloon car, and went down
over the embankment with it, leaving the
freight car with only the forward set of
trucks. Both the conductor and breakman
saw the accident at the beginning, and both
were more or less prepared. They foresaw
that the car must bring up at the bottom of
the bank. They clung vigorously TO the
break rods, but their grasp was torn away by
the shock. Their escape with so few bruises
is wonderful. The broken rail showed a sec
ton three feet long entirely out of the rail.

is believed that the rail was broken by the
