An Old Boiler Sends Two Men Into Eternity. NEW PROVINCE, Pa., Dec. 29.—An awful calamity startled this communi ty between 8 and 9 this morning. On the old Book farm [now John Ililde brand's] a quarter of a mile northwest of this village, Christian Ilildebrand and Edwin Helm, both men, were instantly killed; the barn and ad joining buildings, with contents, were utterly destroyed by fire and the live stock, to the number of between forty and fifty head, perished in the flames, in this [Lancaster] county. This morning Ilildebrand and Helm proposed to begin cutting feed. Their engine, an 11-horse power second-hand one, was rigged up on the barn bridge and Mr. Hildebrand, with Wm. Eck man, Edward Helm and an 11-year-old lad named Frank Edwards, were en gaged in the work. The eugine had been run up to 163 pouuds of steam pressure ; Helm and Hildebrand wero standing near it,with the Edwards boy between them ; young Eckman was in the barn feeding the machine. Sud denly without a moment's warning the boiler exploded. Hildebrand seems to have incurred the fullflforce of the momentum given to the broken machine. His body was hurled through the air and alighted on top of the wagon-shed, 20 feet from the gronnd. Helm was dashed to the earth, frightfully mangled and instant ly killed. The little Edwards boy was scalded by the boiling water and had his clothes set on fire. Frightened al most to death, he started on a run to the village, his clothes aflame and him self shrieking with pain. He was met on the road by J. Calvin Helm, who pnt ont the fire and started him home for relief. Eckman,who had escaped serious in jury, at once dragged the lifeless body of Helm from the wreck. He then gave his attention to Christian Hilde brand, whose body was seen upon the wagon-shed roof where the force of the explosion bad thrown it. Meanwhile the coals which the ex plosion had scattered over the premises set fire to the large barn in a dozen places. In the excitement little thought was given either to the preservation of the property or the rescue of the im prisoned live stock, and soon the barn was in flames beyond any hope of res cue. Thence the conflagration readily extended to and entirely destroyed the wagon-shed, corn crib, chicken house and other sheds, with all their con tents. Among the property were a pair of mules, two horses, five colts, eight fat steers, fifteen head of young cattle, two cows and eight hog. Eighteen hundred bushels of corn was destroyed; all the hay, straw and grain in"the barn; togstber with much val uable machinery. The fodder cutyer and other implements were totally ru ined . The dwelling house, which stauds near by the burned buildings, was ou fire several times and ouly by great ex ertion of the increasing crowd of neigh bors was saved from destruction. The fragments of the broken machin ery were scattered all over the place, and some of the wheels of the engine were found a hundred yards distaut. A very short time before the wreck Mr. Hildebrand had been in the house and spoke to his wife. Two minutes later the horrified young widow saw her hus band's dead body flying through the air. The skulls of both men were fractured. Helm's neck" was broken, and he was badly scalded and cut. Hildebrand's one leg was cut; he was injured internally and had many bones broken. Dr. Amos Helm made the medical examination. ( I never saw a man act so ridiculous in all my life as that man Thompson did at church yesterday. I'll declare it was a shame. He didn't seem to pay any attention whatever $o the sermon, but sat there and chuckled to himself as though he'd been drinking. He was just as .fidgety as be could be all through the service, and once during the prayer he snickered outright; he actually did, and as soou as the bene diction was pronounced he grabbed his hat and bolted out in a hiyrry. I won der what in the world could have ailed the man.' 'Haven't you heard ? 'No, not a word. Do you know V 'Yes, I think I do.' 'What in the name of goodness was it ?' - 'Twins—they're just a week old to day and he's almost tickled to death.' IN" ppiiyyiFlTfßEE!
