Disastrous Explosion.

HoILIpATsBURG. Pa, Jan. 3e.-The
most disastrous affair that has happened
in this section for years occurred here
this morning, when a boiler exploded
in the large rolling mills Of the Holli-
daysburg Iron & Nail Company. Three
persons were killed, four more may die
and tweuty others are more or less in
jured.
When the accident occurred this NOM
ing. at 7:l5 O'Clock. about a hundred men
were at work at the mills. a thirty-foot
cylinder boiler exploded without any
warning, spreading death and rain in
its course. The report of the explosion
was heard ali over the town, and several
blocks away houses were shaken aud
dishes were ratified on the breakfast
tables. As soon as the noise of the eN-
plosion was heard, the men made wild
dash for safety, and the majority escaped
with but slight injuries. In short time
a largo crowd of people were collected
The cause Of the explosion Is mystery.
Engineer Lloyd Cramer was standing by
his engine at the time Of the accident.
He SAYS the boiler had 100 pounds OF
steam or. IIo was not hurt. The boilers
had been repaired and tested about sixty
days ago. Il IS thonght there was no
water in the boiler. The boilers were
placed over pudding furnaces and heat
ed from their fires.

When it exploded il blew open and
went through tine roof tearing out the
entire end OF the mill, and was then
hurled about 300 iccL 1t crushed through
the mil roof, throwing The beams and
iron IN all directions, completely wreck
ing that par. OF the plant As the steam
escaped with the explosion the furnaces
were demolished and stacks were thrown
down. \ number ofpUddieys were burr
I ed in the ruins. The end of the boiler
was found 800 yards from the mill.
