LAST Saturday morning, just as large
mountain freight engine on the Balti-
more and Ohio drew up to the station at
Benwood, the boiler let go with terrific
force. The engineer and fireman were
both in the cab, and the former was hurl-
ed distance of 100 feet, and landed in a
cornfeld, while the fireman was thrown
in the opposite direction. Both were
much bruised and injured, and their es
cape from instant death was well nigh
miraculous. Pieces of the engine were
scattered around the wreck in profusiOn,
and some were even thrown to this side
of the river. Several persons standing
near were injured by the flying pieces of
iron. The force of the explosion wreck
ed several freight cars standing near, and
few shanties were shattered. HDuses
were shaken in Bellaire with the sem
blance of an earthquake. All the in
jured will recover.
