Richard Hall, Of South Main Avenue,
Unearths Relic Of a Boiler Explo.
sion Of June 3, 1866.

Richard Hall, of South Main avenue,
Is one Of the few men living who have
passed through a boiler explosion and
lives to tell of 1t. A few days ago Mr.
Hall unearthed from the land around
his property on Hampton street
piece of bell which was part OF En-
gine No. II. "Lehigh," the one which
so suddenly lost its vitals on June y.
1866. thirty years ago. The metal had
been buried in the ground for ten years
and. when found. it still had patches of
shining nickel on it's interior. This
relic is the only tangible evidence OF
the explosion which Mr.. Hall has re-
tanned If the scar upon the fortunate
engineers forehead be not considered.
The explosion happened at Washing
ton, n. j. Mr.. Hail was in his first
year as engineer His train, a coal"
was standing on the line about a half
mile this side of Washington. The
fireman, William G. Bortree, now on
the Winton branch. had left the cab
and Engineer Hall was alone. With
out warning there was roar and the
rear end of the boiler blew out, the
force of the concussion hurting the en-
gineer u distance of six cars down the
track. He was stunned and appeared
as if dead. A message to that effect
was sent to Scranton and was printed
I'm the newspapers. After an hours
Inconsistencies Mr.. Hall showed signs
of life and he afterward fully recovered
after a long Illness Had the fireman
been on the engine at the time he would
surely have been killed as his side of
the cab was even more badly shattered
than the right side. The old engine Is
still in existence as No. 141. The cause
of the explosion was heated boiler
and no water.
