New Bern, n. c., Jan 19-Speaking of
the explosion at Sullivan's saw mill, the
New Bern Journal says:
The cause of the accident was quite
p1.obahlv due to carelessness. but no one
lived to explain even if an explanation
was possible There could have been lit
tie water in the boiler as the objects
around were dusty after the explosion and
the bodies showed little or no effects of
scalding. Sos it appears clear that with
the hot fire from the shavings which the
fireman Nd Just showed into the furnace,
a cold stream of water was forced by the
injector into the super heated metal of
the boiler, condition that makes an ex-
plosion inevitable. A small fire was start
ed in the sawdust, but was easily ex-
