Fatal Boiler Explosion.
Narrow Escape of Calvin p. KimbIe,
Engineer, and killing of Two of
his Train Crew.

On Friday morning last word was re-
ceived here by telegraph that the engine
of the D. & H. fast freight, running be-
tween Wilkes-Barre and Oneonta had
blown up, killing part of the crew, and
fatally injuring the engineer, Calvin P,
Kimble, son ofIsaac Kimble of Blandin,
and brother-in-law of Sheriff VIM. B.
Roadknight. AS no definite information
concerning the catastrophe could be OBJ
tained up to the time of the departure
of the noon train, Mr.. Roadknight and
Frank Kimble, brother of the engineer,
went to Carbondale, where the latter's
family lives, and where they were greet
ed with the welcome intelligence that he
had escaped with comparatively trifling
injuries, and had been able to assist in
the work of clearing up the wreck.
The evening papers gave detailed ac-
counts of the explosion, from which it
appears that the blow-up occurred half
a mile south of East Windsor, N. Y, at
So'clock in the morning, while the train
was on its return trip to Wilkes-Barre
The train was making its usual speed
of thirty miles an hour when the boiler
exploded. The noise and conclusion
brought the people from their houses.
Twisted iron and steel was showered over
the neighborhood and the main part of
the boiler was torn from its fastenings
and 0afanulfaH fhrn,,nh -
terrific force.
Carter, the brakeman, and Bradshaw,
the fireman got the full force of the ex-
plosion. The former was struck on the
head and body by flying pieces of the
boiler and killed instantly. Bradshaw
was pinned against the floor and ter
ribly scalded. He had also been struck
by parts of the storm of flying pieces of
the boiler and cab. On the other side,
Engineer Kimble closed the lever and
stopped the train as soon as possible,
some of the steam scalding him about
the head, arms and body, but not seri-
ously. He was able to aid in the rescue
work and to return to his home in Car.
bondale later in the day.
The crew got Bradshaw out of the
wreckage first and hurried him to Sus
quehanna, where he was admitted to the
Simon Barnes hospital. He died five
hours later. The body of Carter after
much difficulty, was extricated, and after
it had been literally cooked by the escap.
ing steam.
The engine was pulling train No. 50,
which was in charge of Conductor Geo
Breese, of Carbondale. Carter had
climbed into the cab just few minutes
before the explosion and was talking tc
the fireman when the accident occurred
There was not the slightest warning OF
the disaster, and the men on the engine
had no possible chance of escape.
The news of the wreck was telegraph
ed to Scranton and Carbondale, and
Trainmaster Rosenstock and DIR. Miles
took a special train from Carbondale tc
the scene of the disaster.

ScrantOn's New Lackawanns Depot

The formal opening of the new Lack
awanna Station, at Scranton, took place
last week, when the board of trade Of
that city served a banquet to the hierarchy
of the road, who came up from New
York on special train. The architecture
of the structure, which is located at the
head of Lackawanna Avenue, is of the
type known as French Renaissance, and
it was erected at a cost of nearly half a
million dollars. Exclusive of train sheds
and marquise, or Overhang of glass, it is
240 feet long and SO feet wide. The train
shed extends 900 feet on the west side of
