for two weeks and was undergoing its
first test. Just as the locomotive had
been run off the switch there
was puff of steam, n loud re-
port and the men were blown
III every direction. An eXGinirla-

the crown-sheet of the boiler had given
way, though it was supposed it would
stand at least 800 pounds. 1t is believed
there was some defect in the workman
