TERRIFIC BOILER F.IPL0SI05. A Pianlns Mill anil two Dwclllnss Wrecked Five Lives Lost P h i l a DEiiPH i a , J ue, 27 A boiler exploded this morning iD the saw and planing mill of Alpheua Wilt & Son, which haa a frontage on the eaut side of Front street, above Fairmount ave nue, from 711 to 7l3, inctaive. One house in a rar court wab ruz -d to the ground and a whole family were bur ied in the ruins. An end of the boiler shot through the brick wall of another house and lodged on the second floor, demolishing everything. Tha .explo. sion occurred, according to all ac counts, at about 7.45 A M. As is cus tomary in planing mills, the furnaces were fired with shavings, which neces sitates a filing up about every fifteen minutes. Tne engineer, Michael Dietel, had just fired up, and was sit ting in front of the end of the boiler reading a newspaper; the end blew out, and he was hurled with it acros Court A, through a wall and into the sacond story of a house standing at the southeast corner of the two alleys. His dead body was fcuud lying in a heap in one corner of the room with bis ribs orushed in and his mouth torn from tar to ear. He was about 36 years old, and leuvta a'wifo and four children . As soon as the police and firemen ar rived they went to extricate the dead and wounded. In a house adj lining the boiler house Jived John MeAvsy and his wife, Mary Ann McAvoy, arid thelatter's three cbildreu by her first husband, named Claude, Stella, and Eva Long. When the boiler parted the eugine house was torn into atoms, without a brick left standing and McAvoy s house suffered the same fate. John McAvoy had "gdhe off to work. Mrs McAvoy, with the as sistance of one of the children, was clear i ing away the breakfast table. The other children were engaged in some other work. The first body found was that ol Claude Long, 8 years of age. There was not the Sign ot a bruise upon it. The medical men who examined it expressed the opinion that the boy died of fright. Stella Long his sister, was next taken out of the ruins very severely injured, but her woundB, it is believed, will not prove fatal. The body of Mrs McAvoy was found beneath a bureau, and wedged be tween two heavy pieces of timber. It took two to extricate it. Eva Long, ageci 11, is missing, and is believed to be buried in the ruins. Houses 11, 12 and 13, Court B, were all more or less damagud. It was 11 into which the end of the boiler and the engi neer were blown. The whole front of" this house was torn away. It was occupied by the Gamble family . Mrs. Gamble and her children were, in the yard at the time, and escaped uninjured. In 12 lived John Hetzle and his family. Strange to say, the only one this family hu. t was a boy ealled Lollie, who was not iu the house, but over on Beach street. He was hit by a missile, but not very badly hurt. Shortly before sundown the dead body of Eva Long was found sitting with a lork in one hand and a broken cup handle in the other. Stella Long has since died from her injuries.
