NEESAH. Wis, Aug. 23.-At 11:30
o'clock last evening the large paper
mill owned by Geo. Whiting, situated on
the island between this city and
Menasha, was destroyed by fire. While
the burning structure was surrounded
by crowd of spectators an immenre
boiler exploded. The roof was blown
off and the walls thrown outward,
sending a shower of bricks and timbers
ar7ong the spectators. Fifteen persons
uere killed, seven fatally injured, and a
number less seriously hurt, several
whom will die.
The mill was a three-story structure,
buIt four years ago at cost of 500, 600,
snd was operated day and night. When
the flames broke out about fifty men
weFs in the building.
The fire alarm brought several hun
dred persons to the spot, who crowded
as close to the burning building as the
EnteDse heat would permit.
About 80, while the building was a
mass of flame, the explosion occurred
without warning.
The roof of the building was thrown
upward and outward, the walls of brick
crumbled and crunhed into the street,
and IN an instant scores of men were
buried by the heavy debris.
There was a moment of silence and
then a cry of horror went up
from the multitude. The first
strong impulse to fly from pos
sible further danger was soon overcome,
and hundreds of willing hands began
the work of recovering the bodies of
the dead and rescuing and caring for
tAe injured.
The injured were carried to neigh
boring residences or their homes as soon
as their identity could be established.
Body after body was found-crushed
and maugled by the great timbers and
