Hard finding the colt better one than he had
supposed, authorized his friend Mr.. Gordon to
protect him in the bidding to the extent of $1,000
When this limit had been reached Mr.. Gordon
says he stopped bidding. The auctioneer did not
tnnk trdi SO, and to every raise OF $500 or $1,000
presumably from Mr.. Gordon. The offers rose
rapidly in this way until Philip Dwyer, who had
taken TAKEN his brothers place as bidder reached $15,-

toneer t Then, after pause, he knocked down
the colt to his owner for $15,0o5. Instantly AIr.

FRlcHTFuL CALAMITY.
A Battery of Boilers in an Iron Mill
Explode.
Three Men Killed and Many Others
Terribly Scalded.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 2.-Shortly after 8 O'Clock
this morning, a battery OF boilers at the Solar
ed with disastrous effect. The night workmen
had Just been relieved by the day force when the
explosion occurred. That portion of the works in
the vicinity of the boilers was flied with cloud
of steam. Through the dense mist came shrieks
and groans, which told the employees beyond the
reach of danger that frightful calamity had
overtaken number of their fellow workmen.
As soon as the steam cleared away, a rush was
made for the spot where the explosion occurred,
when it was aseertained that the mud drum of the
boilers had exploded, and that the escaping steam
had scalded IL men. Closer investigation showed
that of that number IA were badly burned an d
that three were fatally injured.
The news of the terrible disaster quickly spread
and soon there was wild rush of frightened
wives, mothers and children to the scene. There
was silence for a moment, and then a Woman's
wall was heard, and another and another, until
there was nothing but discOrdont chorus of fem
inine shrleks, and moans, and cries of anguish
occasionally rise above the wOmens voices. 1t
was an awful scene The injured were found ly-
ing in all positions, some of them being so far
away from the battery that it seemed impossible
that they could have been injured by the explo-
sion.
before Frank Murray, boy, was taken out from
under truck where he was thrown. In addition
to being .scalded he was terribly crushed by the
weight of iron that was piled on him.
James Cattoc and Frank Martin suffered most
from the escaping steam. No hopes are enter
tanned OF the the recovery recovery OF any one Of the three
a majority will carry marks of Disagreement as
long as they live.
The interior of the finishing mill presented
terrible sight of desolation after the accident The
boilers, six in number, form battery, which is
located in the extreme southwest corner of the
mills. The mud drum runs lengthwise under all
six boilers. 1t was the end of this which was
blown out with such force as to scatter destruc-
tion on all sides. All of the, boilers were unseat-
ed. Two were tilted back, and others were on
end. In the rear the whole wall of masonry was
moved outward. The head of the mud drum was
blown directly against the cylinder head of one of
the engines. smashing it in pieces, and blowing
the whole head inward. From this the steam
rushed out with a loud kissing sound Large
stacks of hoop iron were blown all over the mill.
Machines were upset and roll turned over. The
iron machines and benches were all thrown to-
gether in inextricable Masses under which sever
al men were buried.
Mr.. Powers, chief engineer, says the boilers
and mud drum were inspected by the Hartford
Boiler Insurance Company two months ago, and
were then pronounced safe. He is certain they
were all right when he left last evening, and can
only account for the explosion on the ground that
the iron in the mud drum was too weak to stand
the pressure to which it was subjected.
