Is Number of Boys in Reform
School-It is Being En-
larged.


Parkersburg News.
AT this time there are two hun
dred and seven-seven boys in the
reform school at Pruntytown.
They range in age from six to
twenty years of age. They are
each learning a trade, and if he 70
desires any boy after leaving the
institution may become of some
value to himself and the public.
The management of the school is
composed of strict disciplinarians,
and the training given each boy is
effective and will at all times be
such as to show that he has had
attention paid to his education.
The increasing number of in
mates in the school has made it
necessary for an enlargement of
the place. AT the east end of the
main building is being erected a
handsome three story brick struc-
ture, which will have the same ca
pacity as the former.

Fatal Boiler Explosion in
Arbuckle District,

Saw Mill Operated by William
Wood in Ruins.

THE DEAD.
Deputy Sheriff, w. 81. Ballard,
head mashed.
VIM. Blain, head and arm blown
Joe Taylor, head mashed.
One of the worst boiler explos-
ions in the history of Mason county
occurred Saturday morning about
10 a. M. April &c. 1902, on the
farm of VIM. Blain, on Nine Mile
creek, in Arbuckle district.
The explosion occurred in the
saw mill of VIM. Wood, and as a
result three of Mason county's best
citizens are dead.
The mill was in operation at the
time of the explosion, and had
there been fifty people about the
mill they woul1 have doubtless
lost their lives as the oonoussion
and flying debris was terrific.
Deputy Sheriff w. III. Ballard
was sitting on his horse near the
mill. when the explosion occurred
and his head was mashed, as was
also the head of his horse. Mr.
Ballard was taken to his home al
Pliney.
VIM. Blain and Joe w. Taylor
both employed at the mill were
instantly killed. the former having
his head, arm and leg blown off;
the latter receiving injuries in the
head causing instant death.
A singular instance in the acci.
dent was that all of the three men
and horse killed received their fa-
tai blow on the head.
The funerals of Messrs. Blain
and Taylor were held Sunday al
the church at Beech Hill, by Rev
d. 81. Ried, of the M. E. Church,
South, this city, and their remains
were laid to rest in the Concord
Church burying grounds.
