A NAPHTHA YACHT

ENplodrs with Tcarfully Fatal Results.
BUFFALO, n. Y, August AT 1
O'Clock this afternoon. while the yacht
Cedar Ridge. owned by Dir. i. l..
Croker, of East Buffalo, was being
gotten ready for trip down the river.
and Just as the engineer had started the
fire. TWO explosions occurred on board
in rapid succession. The yacht at once
took fire and burned to the water s
edge.
OF those on board the following were
killed: Ethel and Larney Crocker.
girls, burned: Howard Crocker. boy.
drowned. John Rubenstein. carpen-
ter working on the dock, was burned
to death by his boat-house taking fire
from the boat
The injured are Charlotte Crocker.
MISS NJ Lean. a friend-both badly

burned.
The explosion was due to tho naphtha
by which the boiler was heated. Mr.
Croker is superintendent Of the New
York Central stock yards at East Buf-
falO, and the three children killed be-
longed 10 him.
As soon as the explosions were heard
a boatman named Caleb Tolsta got a
boat. and. hurryIng alongside, picked
up Miss Mclean. who was badly burned.
She was taken 10 the Homeopathic hos
pital. She is about twenty eight years
Of age.
The people who hurried to the scene
were first attracted by the sight Of Mr..
Crockei 8 little son. who stood on the
Yachts deck in a dazc1 condition al
most surrounded by the flames. lie
seemed unable 10 move. and when a
man named Charles Schweig1 reached
a pike-pole to him. the boy did not take
hold Of it, and a moment later he fell
back into the fire and was burned to
Crisp IN full view Of the horrited spec
tators. Mr.. Sch weigel S face was badly
scorched while he was trying TO get the
little boy to grasp the pole.
Attention was now directed 10 John
Rubenstein, the carpenter. a man about
thirty years old, who was clingiug to a
rafter in the she'd that extended out
over the yacht. lie could not be
reached and after hanging few mo-
ments he apparently became suflOcated
and dropped in the flames below. lie
leaves widow and five small chill
dren.
The yacht was what is known as a
naphtha launch. 1t was of fifteen tons
burden. 1t is supposed that some de
feet IN the tank allowed the Daph sha to
leak out. and when the engineer struck
match to light the fuel under the
boiler. the loose naphtha exploded.
The boat was bought by Mr.. Crocker
in New York; last spring. 1t is com
pletely destroyed, as is also the boat
house. The condition of Miss Mclean
and Charlotte Crocker was reported
late Tonight az serious. bur not necesss-
rlv fatal Mr. Crocker himself barely
escaped with his life. His wife } as
been very i'll, and it is feared she can
not survive this shock.
