BOILER EXPLOS Oil II. WEST PHILADELPHIA. Pcatrnctloa of Property stod rrobabU Loss of ItlfO. Abont hnlf pnat 4 o'cloolt this mornioe, the citizens of West i'hllndelphia were atartled by conclusion and thundering crash, whloii ttemni U) shake their dwellings to their very fouudationa. It whs not long before It was as oertnlned that a terrlole explosion had ooourred. and in tbe oxoltemenl wnlch was cooslaotly lucrcaslrjg, romor spread that many lives had been lost. The following are the parUoulara of tbe occurrence: At the hour mentioned the boiler In the large wblsky distillery No. 4118 Ludlow (lHuly Oak) Btreet, exploded with a terrlfla effect. Tbe boiler wns placed in a room attached to tbe main bnlldlig. which la an extensive one. and near it was stationed the engine. Tbe explosion demolished the whole building the engine-room being completely wrecked, while Its roof wss blowu to atoms, ecaroely a vestige remaining. Tbe large engine seemed, from its appearance, to have been placed In some llery furnace, and curled and distorted by tbe Annus and heat. The large building; adjoining tbla waa greatly damaged the walls being ahat tertd while the roof was lilted from Its place, and had nettled back with a great ciHt-h, which demolished beams, and made large crevices in the walls. iiud it not been that the boiler was planed In a small building adjoining the distillery, the eflect of the explosion would have been terri ble, and attended with a great loss of life, since there were many workmen engaged in it. At it is the result has been serious, and may prove futul to some of the wonnded workmen. The engineer, Hamuel Sweeney, was badly scalded, especially about the face aud ueck, but not fatally. George Whelley, a fireman, had his okull frneiuied l y a bt am , that came crashing down, and wh fatally sculded. He wan taken to the Hospital, and the latest report was that he had died. Joseph McOrndy, whose duty H was to tend the mush tub, was seriously saalderl, and was takeu in bis home, No. 2J Carltou street. luese men were all taken from the ruins soon aftor the explosion occurred, and amid the wildest exclierueut of the crowd that had gath ered about the scene, and who believed that the debris of stones and burning beams still covered the bodies of other workmen who had been killed, aud burled them from sight. Jiut there were rend y bunds to search heueath the ruins, and it was soon ascertained that none had been killed, and no more had been wounded than those enumerated above. The distillery was occupied by John Flaas, and was run steadily ulmost dny and night to complete a large contract then on hand, but which was deBllued never to be completed, by the dire calamity which so suddenly occurred, and with hitch terrible clt'ect. Near the distillery were three frame build inns, Nos. 411ft, 4i;o, aud 4126 Ludlow street, and owtied by David Kustborn, a colored man, that wet e more or less damaged by the explosion, their windows being shattered by the shower ol (.tones and moilur, aud their roofs being almost broken in by the beams and largo stones andiron which lull upon them. No. 4126 Is oc cupied by Kastborn. A large stone was forced thiough one of tbe windows of the second story, leaving the shufer notnlog but splinters, aud bounded on to the floor Just beneath tbe bed on which two of Mr. Kastoorn's sons wore sleep ing, and then glanced upwards, lifting the bed about three feet, and then letting It down with a Jar thut startled the household, but caused no Injury, Another large stone, which must have been a portion of a window cap, smashed through a door on the first floor, and bounded into a stove, breaking through its iron top as though it were tinsel, aud then burying itself la the oven. The building Nos. 4118 and 4120, tenanted by colored families, were damaged in about the tame manner; some of tbe large boulders and pieces of iron tearing right through their walls of wood as though they were shavings. A portion of the boiler, weighing about one hun dred pounds, was thrown about two squares jrom too i-ceuo ui tuo explosion ami landed in Ludlow street, sinking deep into the ir round. The boiler was almost a new one, and of large dimensions, and its explosion Is said to "have resulted irom negligence in allowing tbe water to get low and the boiler hot, and then pump- ng in a new supply 01 coia water. '1 he aisiiiiery uuuaing was formerly occupied by Charles Harding as a snufl-mill. All tbe morning from the time wtien, tbe first thun dering report was hoaru me piuce nas been througed with people, who'camo breathlessly, fearing mat tne calamity mignt even prove more fatal that the terrible Satisom street ex clusion. Ibe loss is 8 000 on the boiler, engine. and engine-room, these being totally demo lished. The main building can, with no very great expense, be repaired and made strong again.
