Eighteen Men Killed and "A Large Number
Injured by a Boiler Explosion During q
Fire at Nesnah, Wisconsin.
NEENAH, Wis, Aug. 23.-At II 80
O'Clock last evening the large paper mill
owned by George Whiting. Situated on
the island between this city and 'Menashas
was destroyed by fire. While the burn
ing structure was surrounded by crowd
of spectators, the battery OF boilers ex-
ploded. The roof and the walls were
thrown outward, sending a shower OF
bricks and tfmbers among the spectators.
Eighteen persons were killed, seven
fatally injured and number less serious
ly hurt several OF whom will die. The
mill was a three -story structure builtfouP
years ago at q cost Of 500, 900, and was
operated day and night. When the flames
broke out about fifty men were in the
building. The fire alarm brought several
hundred people to the spot, and they
crowded as close to the burning building
as the intense heat would permit.
About 1 80 q. m, while the building
was mass of fame, the explosion Oc-
Cured without warming. The roof Of the
building was thrown upward and out
ward, the walls OF brick crumbled
and crashed into the street. and
in an instant scores Of men
were buried by the heavy debris.
There was a moment OF silence, and then
q cry of horror went up from the multi-
tude. The first strong impulse to dy
from possible further danger was soon
overcome, and hundreds began the work
of recovering the bodies OF the dead and
rescuing and caring tor the injured.
Body after body was found. crushed and
mangled by the great timbers and MAJ
sonry almost beyond recognition, and
then removed to the City Hall. The in.
tured were carried to neighboring resf-
dences or to their homes as soon as their
identity could be established.
The dead are as follows: John Moore,
Joseph Bridges, VIM. Gueltz, Thomas
Dourgais, Frank Sheffer, GiIber Mericle,
Frank Mandover, Frank Muncimer, Chris
LaiRhouser, John L. Eichowzer, John
Hoffman, Lewis Roesoh, Joe Bull, John
Elke, Thomas letters, - Shoswelsji,
Sylvester Jeijhous and an unknown man.
Fatally injured: Albert HOechm er,
BENZ. Grouse, jos. Schmitge, Joe Smith,
John Suller, - Tingle, - Soeltz. The
loss on building is 500, 200; insurance,
$50, 600.
All that were killed aud injured were
spectators who we're standing east Of the
mill. Those killed were struck by the
rotary, and those injured were hit by
bricks and missiles. It il said the hrs-
man of the mill attended an excursi on
during the day. and at night fell asleep,
and when he awoke he found the mill in
flames. All Of the killed and injured are
poor hard-working people, and nearly ali
the families are left destitute. The mayor
has appointed q committee TO solicit aid
for those injured and for the families Of
the killed.
