Between IL and u 2o'clock Monday
night the boiler of engine 235 exploded
while the engine was standing opposite
the coal schutes in the Jersey Central
yard at Coalport. The explosion oc-
CURED without the slightest warning
and the engineer, fireman and two
brakeman we're sent into eternity
horribly mangled. They we're Albert
Tripp, John Brobst, John Gallager and
William Smith. The engine was one of
the old Cock pattern and had been in
almost continuous service since 1867.
When an ADVOCATE representative
visited the scene the following morn
ing there was not much remaining of the
explosion to show what awful death
work had been done, but enough to
show with what terrific force the
fragments of the exploded engine we're
scattered. Several telegraph poles
were cut as through by a knife, and
the wires we're scattered in all direc-
tions. Large pieces of boiler iron we're
found several hundred feet away, and
trees in the woods on the side of the
mountain we're torn as if by tornado.
What was intact of the locomotive
had been pulled into the round house
and there was little of it to show that
it was once powerful piece of mach
inery. John Gallagher, brakeman, 20
years old, was not on the engine but
had gone UP from the switch to give
the engineer some information con
cerning the shifting of coal. His head
less body was taken out of the river
several rods from the shore by Super
intendent Twining early Wednesday
morning. The body of Alfred Trip,
aged 80, who leaves a wife and four
children was picked up in fragments
against the mountain side after having
ploughed its way through the trees and
shrubbery. Trip had lost leg by be-
ing run over by an engine several years
ago. John Brobst, 60 years of age
leaves a wife and several grown up
children. VIM. Smith, 20 years old,
was son of an engineer on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. They all lived in
Mauch Chunk and vicinity. District

Engine No. 235, which exploded, has
been running night and day for years,
and is said to have been in bad shape
for some time. 1t is also stated that
engineer Tripp made frequent COM

This is a matter of the greatest concern
to the employees of the railroad and

canal, was kicked in1the face by a mule
Monday morning at Hough's lock.
His jaw bone was broken and he was
otherwise badly injured. He was
taken to his home near BOwmanstown.
This reminds us of the old song: "If
you don't want to be kicked into seven
teen hundred kinds of lightning, never
monkey with the hind part of mule" !"
Between the Central railroad tracks
and the canal for many years has been

it has been the contention that this was
the source of the typhoid epidemic in

why not compel the railroad company

and the quicker the better. Force this
