A SCENE OF HORROR.

A Boiler Explosion at Pittsburgh Kills
Five Men and Injuries Dozen Others.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March ia battery of
boilers at the West Point boiler works of r.
Monroe & Sons, on the corner of Twenty
third and Smallman streets, exploded short
ly after 10 o'clock, completely wrecking the
plant and burying a number of men in the
ruins Five have been taken out dead and
three badly injured, and there are still a
number in the ruins. A dozen others were
quite seriously injured, some of them, it is
thought fatally The names of the dead al
ready removed from the wreck are:
August Lindebaugh, engineer, frghtfully
mutilated; Charles Allenbacke laborer, head
and body boiled; Daniel Clark. boIler-maller,
mangled and scalied; John Remheimer,
boiler-maker, badly scalded; James Carton.
Martin Connors, who was so terribly
scalded that he viii die, is "a years old and
unmarried He came to this city short
time ago from Baltimore. The names of
the most seriously injured are: John Forest,
q helper, aged 26 years; Harvey Barr, a
helper, aged p years; William Kelly, John
Barber, Frank Maneske and james CARNEY,
boiler makers Cartney was recently mar
ried. The others are single.
The explosion occurred just after the
noon whistle had sounded, and many of
the workmen had left the works to get
their dinners. The conclusion shook
the buildings for several squares. In
few minutes a large crowd had
gathered about the wreck, and the
scene was most agonizing. Wives
mothers and children ran about wringing
their hands and crying, eagerly search
ing for t eir loved ones. The first body re-
moved vas that of the engineer, Linde-
baugh. lie was almost unacceptable.
Allenbacke's remains were next taken out,
and in few minutes the mangled body of
Clark was found Remheimer, Howard
and Carton were next removed.
The cause of the explosion has not
been learned. The building was a large
0ne-stOry brick structure and was for
merly occupied by Wi liam Smith & Sons,
pipe manufacturers The plant was a
valuable one, aud will prove complete
loss Nothing remains but mass of brick,
mortar and timbers. The firm was unable
to approximate the loss, but it is safe to say
that it will reach 100000. The conclusion
shattered windows and damaged houses for
three blocks, and it is a miracle that more
peODle were NOT killed or injured
