The BrattIeboro Explosion.

A subscription paper is being circulated
for the purpose of helping j. a. Church in
repairing the damages from Tuesdays
boiler explosion Thousands have visited
the scene of the explosion, and the great
wonder is how 1t could have occurred
when so many people were near without
loss of human life Some of the workmen
in the factory were carried across the
room by the conclusion and covered with
litterings from the splintered building,
though none of them were seriously in
jured, and Mr. Corbett, whose morse was
killed, was just in the act of unhitching
the animal when the great missile struck
it, Mr.. Browns barn, which was badly
shattered, was moved two feet off its
foundation. Nobody seems to know the
cause of the explosion, and it will there
fore be difficult to prove the responsibility
for damage, which falls heavily upon Mr..
Church. 1t is quite likely, say those who
have Investigated, that the water was
either low in the boiler, or the latter was
old and defective
