NEWARK, N. j.. Sept. A boiler
explosion which caused a panic for a
time in the business center of the town
occurred in the engine room of the Han
son-Van Wrinkle company, manufacture
ers and dealers in acids, chemicals and
dyestuffs, o market street. Six men
were badly injured as a result of the
explosion, and damage to the extent of
$4,000 was done.
Two pieces of the boiler weighing a
hundred pounds and fifty pounds re-
spectively crashed through the roof of
the Evening News building. THEY fell
into the composing room where many
men were working. The hundred pound
piece kept on, going through the floor
of the composing ROOF into the edito-
rial department, and, although no ore
was injured, something of a panic fol-
owed the crash.
