A TERRINC EXPLOSION} 5
‘ ’1 rFiv-e Men Instantly Killed In a Large
Tannery InWoburn, Mass.
SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED.
Erhe AEcident Occurred Just as the Start- :
lug Up Whistle \Vas About to Be
Blown—Theories Advanced as to
the Cause of the Trouble.
WOBURN. Mass, April 2.—-At an early"
hour today one of the boilers. in the old
COnn tannery in this place exploded with
terrific force, killing five men and injuring
seven others. The dead are Austin Clem-
ents, foreman; Patrick Lally, fireman;
Patrick McGonagle, oiler; Frank McMahon
and Patrick Riley.
Michael McGuire, internal injuries;
Patrick Keefe, bad scalp wound; John
Tracy, scalp torn off ; Herbert Sanders, col-
ored. badly burned about the head and
severalribs broken; John Kenney, scalp
wound; William Rhinedress, injuries to
hip, and John Jennings, cut and bruised.
There had been trouble witl the boiler
for some time. and early this morning
John Parker, foreman of the plant, was
called to the boiler room to see if it could
- be fixed. It was found that the water sup-
ply cOuld net be satisfactorily adjusted,
but this was remedied, and by the time
the tannery opened for the day it was
thought that the boiler was all right.
Five minutes before 7 o’clock Mr. Par-
ker entered the boiler room and ordered
that the whistle be. blown to start the
works. The rope attached to the whistle
was pulled, and instantly there was a fear-
ful explosion. The big iron smokestack on
the boiler house was blown high in the air
and fell across the roof of the shop, and
the tall brick chimney fell in a thousand
pieces, crushingthe engine room beneath
it. . '
When the smoke and dust cleared away".
a scene of wreck and ruin was. revealed.
Men hurried from all parts of the town,
and the work of removing those buried
under the ruins was commenced immedi-
ately.
_ Five Men Killed.
The piteous cries of the injured pinned
under the, debris urged the rescuers on to
rapidwork, and in. a short time the dead
bodies of the fivezmen had been removed,
and sevenof the injured had been taken
out.
It was then found that one of the four
boilers had been blown to pieces, complete-
'. 1y wrecking'the boiler house ..and..-demol-. ’
ishing several sheds near by. The head of
the boiler fell in Conn street, 300 yards
from the tannery, and the .boiler tubes
were scattered in every direction.
The falling chimney. and smokestack
practically wrecked the tannery building
itself, and the structure will have to be
rebuilt. It is not known how many men
were in the tannery when the explosion oc-
curred, but when the roll of employees was
called shortly before 11 o ’elock seven men
were missing. It is not known whether
or not they had begun work when the ac-
cident happened.
The fire department was called out
promptly, and the work of removing the
wreckage and taking out the dead and in-
jured was carried on under the direction
of the fire chief.
The tannery is a three story brick build:
ing and is fully insured.‘ The boilers,
which are of 150 horsepower, were inspect-
ed only yesterday and declared to be all
right. It is believed that the explosion
was caused by the exhaustion of the water
in the boiler.
Forest Fires Raging.
CINCINNATI, April 2.-—Dispatehes from
points in western Kentucky and southern
Indiana report that the forest fires are still
raging. The loss is estimated at $200,000
in Kentucky. Dispatches from Bowling
Green, Ky., report that the homes of Otis
Smith, James Waters and Henry Eiler
were burned. The families mounted horses
and escaped. Henry Eiler was so badly
burned that he died, and a negro farm-
hand perished in bed on Eilcr’s farm.
William Edwards of Anetta was burned
to death while fighting the fire.
Fate of Li Hung’s Assailant.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-——It is said at the
Japanese legation that the young Japanese
who shot Li Hung Chang probably will be
sent to the mines of northern :Japan to
serve his life sentence. The locality is
much like Siberia, and a sentence there is
dreaded by the Japanese as little short of
death. The unofficial reports Of the sen-
tence make no reference to the trial or con-
viction. It is understood to have been a
civil trial, as a. military trial would have
resulted in death.
Italian Elections In May.
LONDON, April 2.——The Chronicle’s
Rome correspondent announces that a

or of Premier Crispi, when he will an-
nounce his programme. In the meantime,
the correspondent adds. the premier’s
chances of victory are greater than ever.

PHILADELPHIA. April 2. —A paper prints
11 story of a fight in a New York restau—
rant between James J. Corbett and the
Australian known as Young Griifo. , _
According to the story, Corbett, with -
his manager, William A. Brady, and sev-'
eral friends, was seated at a table when,
Grifi‘o came in. The Australian invited
Corbett to drink with him. _ Corbett turned 5
his back and ignored the invitation. , ‘
Griffo angrily announced that he was
willing to bet $10 then and there that he.
could stand 11p before Corbett for four'
rounds.
Grii‘fo also said:

son can do you. ”
Corbett replied. “Here, you little whip-
per snapper, go about your business, or
I’ll take you across my knee and give you
a spanking. ”
Grifi‘o’ s response was a blow aimed at
Corbett’s jaw. Corbett stopped it and
slapped Grifl'o on the cheek so heavily that
the lightweight fell ito thefloor... ? _
Corbett stooped to pick up his antago-
nist. Grifio suddenly kicked him upon
the jaw. Corbett reeled and fell. His
head struck the leg of a chair. This made
a severe gush in his scalp.
A messenger. boy was sent for a doctor,
and Grifi'o hurried away. Corbett’s wound
was found to be a slight one. A piece of
court plaster was all the dressing it re-
quiled.
The row occurred, according to the sto-
ry, in a restaurant in upper Broadway
