The main building is constructed OF
wood, three stories in height with an old
fashioned roof such as was customary to
place on mills built half a century ago.
: An eli OF the EHme height and descrip-
tion joins the mill IN the inside toward
the river and on the: side of the angle
formed by the two buildings stood the
brick boiler house, one story In height.
In this boiler house were two Kendall
and Roberts boilers OF 30 horse power
each, and it was their explosion which
scattered death and destructi n in all
directions.
These boilers were comparatively new,
having been in use only about two years,
and were inspected and pronounced to
be in good condition about two months
ago. Tue boilers were in charge Of Sill
vinus Brarlt, who was considered an ex-
pcrienced man, ana no suspicion was
entertained tnat any danger was to be
appsehended from them.
Ihe mill started up as usual this morn
ing. aud the employees were oil at work
In their various departments when the
crash came. Just before tho explosion
Brault's wife passed the mill, carrying
her husbands breakfast to him In the
fire room, and one OF the employees re-
marked to his neiehbor that Brault
would nave m late hreakfast Mrs Brault
had scarcely entered the fire room door
when the explosion occurred, and in an
instant terror reigled supreme. From
appearances both boilers must have ex-
ploded at once.
The boiler house was completely
wrecked and ono OF the heavy boilers
sent crashing through the side Of the
mill. The ooiler struck the side OF the
building at the level Of the second floor
anu tore its way upward through the
weave shop and spooler room and 6nslIy
lodged on the top floor in . mass Of
wrecksge.
In an instant the employees were panic
stricken ano bat for the prompt action

tween a large beam and piece of the
machinery, and death must have resulted
instantly. Ihe next body found was
that of Fireman Brault, who was found
in the wreck of the boiler house.
As soon as the explosion occurred the
Centrevilio fire department was called out
and q mum ber OF physicians summoned,
who attended to the injuries Of the en-
ployes, many OF whom were badly hurt.
When the trcmen arrived they immedi-
ately commenced work In the ruins OF the
boiler house to find the body of Mrs.
Brault. who was known to have beon I'm
the building at the time OF the explosion.
After a halt hours hard and dangerous
work the body OF the unfortunste woman
was found and tenderiy carried to the
place where the body of her husband
rested, and laid by his side.
The large chimney of the boiler house
was cut and cracked by the flying frsg-
ments and as the crowd kept forcing its
way into the mill and vicinity the fire.
men stretched ropes around the wrecked
mill and forced tho crowd back to a place
OF safety.

injured that be died subsequently.
Ben opi HouIe received several broken

body and arms; Arthur Grevsis, a dyer,

ments OF tho boiler; Ellen Levsr, q spool

The PopOcrats claimed that there
was no gold in circulation In the
United States. One leading free
silver shouter in this county paid
two dollars to find out that gold
could be had from the banks of the
city. 1t Is true that many, fearing
the election OF Bryan on the free
silver platform, were boarding their
gold, expecting In the event OF the
success of free silver to secure large
premium. The result of the election
OF Mckinley assured all that there
would be no change in finances, and
in consequence silver or paper
dollar was as good as gold and the
result was the go d was brought out
OF its hiding places and rushed into

that no more gold was wanted, the
