Gas From Leaking Main too Much
For Workmen.

Two men were killed. and nearly
a dozen others were overcome in z
manhole of the Empire City Subway
Company OF New York, Friday, by
gas from leaking main.
The dead men, Michael Doom and
Peter Collins, employees Of the COM
pany, went to hunt for leak, which
for some time had filled the con-
ducts with gas, and they examined
all the manholes from 23d street
up to 45th before they descended
into the fatal one at that point on Sth
avenue. When they failed to send
up word. after reasonable time,
Foreman Holihan started down the
manhole to find out the reason. He
was quickly driven back by the fun
es and shouted for help.
Police reserves, fremen and am
balances were summond and even
tually dozen or more persons, fell
low workmen, policemen mad fremen
tried to rescue the two men. But all
efforts were unavailing Each man
in his turn was overcome and soon
had to be drawn by the rope to which
he was attacked.
A few of those overcome by the
fumes were revived on the spot, but
he majority had to be taken to
hospital. The bodies Of the two men
were recovered after the gas was shut

BOILER BURSTS; EIGHT KILLED
Death and Destruction Wrought by
Explosion in Rolling Mill.

A dispatch from York, Pa, says
eight men were killed, nearly score
of others more or less seriously in
jurd and thousands Of dollars worth
of property damaged by the explo-
sion Of a boiler in the York Rolling
Mill late Monday afternoon.
The dead: John Cheney, York,
Benjamin Bremen, Harry Searchrist,
Paoli Puci, Alfred Struck, John
Slossman, Harry Feger, all of Colum-
bia, Pa; Edward filter, Marietta,
Pa.
The boiler, which was located in
the centre Of the mill, exploded
without moments warning.
A rescue party was quickly or
ganized and search for the bodies
was instituted.
Ambulances from New York Hos
pital were hurried to the scene, but
owing to the number of dead and
injured, delivery wagons and other
conveyances were pressed into service
in order that the injured might be
rushed to the hospital.
While the injured were being look
ed after, the bodies Of the dead were
being carried from the ruins Of the
building. A majority Of those kill
ed had their heads and limbs torn
from their bodies, and were so badly
mangled that identity was almost
an impossibility.
The mill had been closed down for
about week, and two score of men
were engaged in making repairs to
an engine. The men were working
close to the boiler and when the ex-.
plosion occurred not one of them was
able to make his escape.
The shock was so terrific that 1t
demolished large portion Of the
mill and sent heavy pieces of twisted
iron and metal in all directions. The
plant of Broonal, Schmidt & Stacey
Company, located near the scene of
he explosion. was badly damaged
and a horse which was standing 800
-ards distant from the mill was in
;tantly killed. Box cars on the rail-
.oad siding. adjoining the mill, were
orn to splinters and several persons
lear the building were slightly in
ured by flying debris.
The shock was felt over the entire
irv. The head Of the boiler, about
oir feet square, was hurled nearly I
block.
The injured are all expected to re s
over.

BOWMAN'S BODY FOUND.

The body of Millard O. Bow
man, who was one of the seven vic
tins of the Mifflinville bridge dis
aster, was found at Steelton, below
Harrisburg, last Thursday. 1t
was fully identified by his brother
Harry and the Superintendent of
the York Bridge Company who
went down for that purpose.
The remains were brought tc
Mifflinville where the funeral was
held on Sunday, and was largely
attended.
The body was taken from the
home of his father-in-law, Levi
Hippensteel and then inferred in
the cemetery, after which the ser.
vices we're held in the Methods,
church. Forty carriages followed
the body to the grave and the
church was unable to accommodate
the congregation who sought tc
pay their last tribute. Scores stood
outside the church, unable to gain
admittance.
Rev. Worley, pastor of the
church, rade a touching and i'm.
pressive address, tears coursing
down the cheeks of many as he re-
viewed the untimely end of him
whom they mourned. The Metho.
dist choir rendered several beauti-
full numbers.
The floral tributes were many
and beautiful, including designs
from the York Bridge Company
and from the school children whom
Mr.. Bowman formerly taught.
