FOUR KILLED, MANY HURT. /
Exp Iosion of Boiler in Iron and Steal
Works. IA

Lebanon, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE explos-
ion of large boiler in Scrap puddle
furnace No. at the west works OF the
American Iron and Steel Manufacture
Ling Conpany's plant late this afternoon
caused the death of four workmen, and
about forty others were more or lesf
seriously injured.
The dead:
Jacob B. Kicker.
Walter Turner.
James Hissinger.
Jacob Nine.
The calamity is the worst that ever
occurred in Lebanon. The boiler ex-s
ploded without warning, and in an In
slant the entire place was black with
death-dealing debris. The wreck and
ruin of the nine puddle furnaces 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. The excitement was
so intense, however, that a long time
elapsed before any information could
be given them.
Physicians were called from every
quarter OF the city, and the hospital
ambulances and other vehicles were
hurried into service. The offices Of the
works were at once converted into
hospital, and corps of nurses from the
Good Samaritan hospital We're brought
to the place. Into this temporary hcs-
pital the MANNED and scalded were cars
ried and given attention.
1t is impossible to learn the names Of
the injured. Some of them, it is be-
lieved, can not live. Women and chil-
dren thronged the entrance to the
works, crying and begging to be allow-
ed inside.
1t is feared the list of dead will be
materially increased when the ruins of
the nine wrecked puddle furnaces are
explored. The exploded boiler was
hurled high into the air and passed
over the offices. burrying itself In the
south bank of Quittapahilla creek, sew
eral hundred yards away.
No information could be secured at
the temporary hospital at the works.
The plant has been closed, and work
men are clearing the debris.
1t is not known whether the explos-
ion was due to defects in the boiler or
not. The boiler, which was 1900 horse
power, broke squarely in half, one part
sailing thru the machinery and wood
work of the mill. The roof collapsed
and the flames from the puddle fur-
naces under the wrecked boiler set fire
10 the debris. The fire force of the
however, had the flames ex-
.inguished in fifteen minutes.

Was Against Property, Not
Individuals.

The District Commissioners have de-
clined to grant the request Of George w
King. treasurer of the First Co-opera-
tive Building Association, for the refund
Of tax paid on April last under pro-
test upon certain property held by the

sive. were due and unpaid prior to the
time the property was conveyed to the

ruled that as the taxes were levied
against the property and not individuals.
and as they Wee not paid, they con-
stituted just lien against the property.
Mr.. King renewed his request. and the
Commissioners, after considering sec
ond report made by the Assessor. have
reached the conclusion that they can
not cancel the taxes or refund the

CEMENT WALK ORDERED
ON | STREET MUST STAND
Protest Filed by Certain Residents Has
No Effect on Com
missioners.

Unfavorable action has been taken
by the District Commissioners on the
protest of Susan E. Lovejoy and others
against the proposed laying of cement
sidewalk on Street, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth northwest. The Com
missioners will inform the persons in
terested that the work was ordered by
the board because of the wornout condi-
ton of the old brick walk, and as the
result of numerous complaints.
No action will be taken at present by
the Commissioners on the request of
Oscar w. White that new pavement and
cement sidewalk be laid on Street
northeast near New Jersey Avenue.
This conclusion is based on the report
OF the Computing Ell sineer, that the
granite block pavement on the street
is In fair condition, and that the brick
sidewalk is In good shape.
