The explosion took place about $40
o'clock, just as the first cake OF ice cut on
the pond this winter was being run up
into the head ice house at the Crockers
avenue end of the pond. What caused the
explosion nobody seems to know. Some
claim that lack of water was the reason
while Others claim that the boiler was
rotten. At any rate it exploded, and the
wreckage which followed shows it to
have been as forcible as It was death deal
ing. The boiler, a horizontal 3D. horse
power tubular one, weighing about
five tons, was thrown through
the end of the large icehouse
TO the center OF the interior and
two OF the men killed were standing In
the house in company with 15 or 20 others
waiting with picks in hand for tho ice to
come In TO be stored. They were knocked
against the side OF the building and one
OF them, John Hehir, never breathed
again. The other, Patrick Hehir, may
have breathed for few minutes, but that
was all.
The end OF the big house was shattered,
a rent about 10 feet high and four feet
wide, through a thickness OF four feet,
including the packing and immense
timbers Of which it was built. showing

Mrs. Stoves True Condition.

Harriet Bcecher Stowo's mind It would
not be II strange thing had this occurred,

to those admitted to the intimacy of the
family, that Mrs. Stoves disease is NOT
Softcning of the brain, as has boon init
