BIG FLY WHEEL HURST
FATAL ACCIDENT AT CAMBRIA
MILL, JoHNsTowN, Pa.
Three Men Killed and Nine Others
More or Less Seriously
Injured.

JOHNSTOWN Pa. January 21.-As re-
suit of the breaking of a governor belt, al
lowing an immense fly wheel to run away
and burst, in the Cambria Steel Company's
No. rail MILL early today. three men are
dead, three are fatally injured and six are
more or less severely wounded. The known
dead:
Edward Cablosky, fifty-six years of age,
caught and held by heavy iron girder,
while he was scalded to death.
The fatally injured:
Jake Updyk, severely burned and scalded
Sevac Emeri, skull fractured some bones
broken.
Covac Sewowitch, badly burned and
scalded.
All the injured were taken to the Cam
bria Hospital. When Engineer HishlOck
who was standing by his engine, felt the
jar of the immense fly wheel running wild
caused by the breaking of the governor belt
without pausing to consider his own dan
ger, he rushed to the steam valve and tiled
to stop the engine He was too late, how
ever, for the explosion of the wheel was al
most instantaneous. Flying pieces of metal
broke steam pipes and released the scalding
vapor, they contained red hot pieces of
metal and were hurled against the
wooden walls and roof, setting them on fire.
At the same time water pipes were broken,
flooding the floor to a depth of couple of
feet making escape difficult for the in
jured, When the fire had been extinguish-
ed, the search for the dead and injured be-
gan, and it is blieved that all have been
recovered though at first many more were
thought to have been killed and injured.
Edward Cablosky was struck by heavy
steel girder while sitting on a coal car eat
ing his lunch. His body was badly crushed,
but death resulted from the scalding steam
Most OF the injured men received their in
itial hurts from pieces of flying metal. after
which the influx of steam scalded them.

NO COAsTING ON STREETS.
Judge Kinbau Makes Ruling
Against DANGEROUS Sport,

Judge Kimball of the Police Court this
morning decided that 1t is a violation OF
law for sleghing parties to use the streets
for coastng purposes, and announced his
int ntion of breaking up the practice by
imposing fines when cases of that character
are called to his attention.
The announcement was made during the

ed in court on a charge of disorderly con-
duct Policeman Brown, who appeared as
the complaining witness. reported to the
court that since the snow and ice has been
on the streets there has been considerable
parties coasting down 31st street across the
iDtersecting streets.
Special complaint. he said had been made
about the manner in which they crossed P
street. which is traversed by street cars,
and that numerous narrow accidents had
been averted by narrow margin. Pedes-
TRANS in crossing 31st street on the hill
virtually took their lives in their own
hands because the sleighing parties took
no notice of them and followed each other
in rapid succession. The officer said tina I
the merrymakers had paid no attention to
repeated warnings from the police and that
the arrest was made in order that the mat
ter should be decided.
The court upon hearing the facts decided
that the charge had been sustained against
the defendants. whom, the officer said, were
on the hill last night. The court said, that
although there no particular law to
cover the Offense. ii could be classed under
the head of disorderly conduct. which COW
cred anything out of order. and sleighIns

GU. of order A fine of So each which was
imposed on the defendants was paid.
