BOILER EXPLODED.
Four Killed and Forty Injured
at Lebanon, Pa.
Many Of Wounded in Horrible Shape

Weeping Women and Children Seek
Relatives at Ruins.

Lebanon, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE explosion
of a large boiler in a scrap puddle fur
mace at the west works of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Manufacturing Cos.

wreck and ruin of the nine puddle fur
naces Was complete.
Thousands of persons were attracted
to the scene and weeping women and
children crowded about the place max
ing frantic efforts to obtain tidings of
their loved ones.
Physicians were called from every
ambulances and other vehicles were
hurried into service.
The Offices Of the works were at once
converted into a hospital and a corps Of
nurses from the Good Samaritan Hos
pital were brought to the place. Into
this temporary hospital the MANNED
and scalded workmen were carried and
given attention. Some have their eyes
burned out, others their hands blown
off.

lieved, cannot live through the night.
Women and children thronged the en-
trance to the works, crying and beg
ging to be allowed inside.
