NEW YORK, Dec. 18,-Seyen men wore
killed and four injured this morning by
the explosion Of the main steam pipe Of
the American Line Steamship 81. Paul,
while the vessel was lying in dock in
the North river. The dead are Jsmes

jured are Frank Smith, third assistant
engineer; Scott A. Durham, machinist,
England, and Edward Wiachers, en-
gineer: All of these were seriously
soalded and were taken to the hospital.
at the tlme OF the accident, shortlv
after O'clock this morning, there were
thirty men in the fire room aud in the
engineers room. The main steamripe,
which Is three feet in diameter, runs
from the engine to the fire room. It
was this pipo which exploded. The
main stop valve was blown out. The
acciden. Is believed to have been due TO
o flaw in the pipe. The ships engineer
thinks 1t will require several days to
repair tho damage caused by the accia
dent.
Preparations were being made for the
sailing OF the vessel at IL o'clock, bus
fortunately mono OF the passengers were
aboard the vessel. Tho explosion was
OF terrific force. and shook the big
vessel from stem to stern. Following
the report was the sound OF escaping
steam. 1t poured nm IN tho declr fror,
the engino room In clouds, and com.
pietely enveloped the vicinity. From
above tho noise Of the escaping steam
could be heard the cries of men who had
been at work In the engine room, and
who were injured by the explosion.
The nature of the explosion WAS suoh
that 1t rendered acceas to the locality
extremely difloult. AS quickly as DOS.
slble the steam was turned OF and al
most simultaneously four half dead men
scrambled up the iron stairway leading
from the engine room and foil PROSTATE

we're hurried into the cabin and restor-
asives administered to them.
Two more terribly scalded men were
found In an almost unconscious oondi-
ton lying near the bottom of the stair
way and were lifted upon the deck. AS
soon as the stosm had cleared away
sufficiently to render the surroundings
visible five men were found lying IN
various parsa OF the compartment dead.
They had all been scs!ded to death and
their faces and those parts of the body
which were not covered by thair c!osh-
ing looked as If they had boon pa,-
boiled. The other two victims, Folker
and Wilson, died af.sr being taken to
