Engineer King A Victim Lack
of Water Cause.

Engineer William King, LOG Race
street Cumberland, Fireman W. Oster,
Keyser, W. Va, and Fireman W. E.
Grammar, Roanoke, W. Va, were killed
Tuesday morning about 8 O'Clock when
the engine attached to train Of 46 cars
blew up at Ro1amer, just east of
Rowlesburg, W. Va.
An investigation conducted by Mas
ter Mechanic Stewart resulted in the
discovery that the explosion was
probably due to the crown sheet Civ
ing away because of lack of water.
The boiler was torn from the frame,
one car of the train behind the demol-
ished engine was derailed, together
with four cars of a train passing on the
west track.
Traffic on the B. & 0. was virtually
at standstill for several hours due to
the wreck.
Engineer King had been employed by
the B. & o. for nearly twenty years,
working for the past fifteen as engi-
neer. He was we'll known among rail-
road men and was one of the most popu-
lar trainmen on this division. His father
was formerly Waterman for the B. &
U. at the Baltimore street crossing in
Cumberland and was employed by that
company for many years.
