SHOOKING ACCIDENT.
(Ira Boiler of a Pleasure Boat Explodes it
Sunbury Killing Two and Seriously
Injuring Seven Others.
An accident without a parallel in
the history of Sunbury occurred Satur
day morning, and as a result of which
rhe whole city is in a state of gloom.
We present herewith a complete ac
count of the occurrence taken from
the Evening Item:
Saturday, July 13, 1901, will go
down into history chronicling the most
appalling and shocking accident ever
recorded on the' pages of Sunbury's
history.
About 9:45 a. m., as the streets
were filled with marketers going and
coming, and the Saturday morning's
business was at its height, a distinct,
cannon-like report was heard, and the
ground tiembled as if visited by an
earthquake. People came running
from their homes to ascertain the
cause, and looked at each other in
wonderment, unable to imagine what
was wrong, yet having that indescrib
able feeling that something terrible
had occurred.
In a short time the report was circu
lated that a terrible accident had hap
pened at the the river, near the Market
street steamboat landing, due to the
explosion ot the boiler of the steam
boat, "Montour," the properly of the
Sunbury Boat Company.
Arriving upon the scene, a sight
more shocking than tongue can tell or
pen describe, met the gaze of the on
lookers. Lying on the ground, writhing in
great agony, suffering untold tortures,
and staining the grass with their life's
blood, lay five young boys, while about
one hundred feet away, lying near the
water's edge, the shattered remains of
what was once a steam boat told the
awful tale of just what had occurred.
Soon hundreds of people flocked to
the scene and the horrifying spectacle
was of such a nature that it will live
forever in their memories and will
never be obliterated by time. Bruised,
burned and mangled, dripping with
Wood, with distorted and unrecogniz
able features, the injured boys, in their
terrible pain and distress, called loudly
tor their loved ones to come to their
Assistance and alleviate their awful
sufferings.
Women in their anguish and tears,
wrung their hands in pity while stout
hearted men wept like children. Physi
cians were summoned and were soon
heroically at work in their humane ef
forts to aid and quiet the sufferers.
As soon as the rames of the injur
ed could be learned, they were made
cnown to the large crowd and were as
.'ollows:
Alen K. Fetzer, aged 1 4 years, and
lis brotfler, Arthur Fetzer, aged 8
rears, sons of Police Officer J. L.
Fetzer, residing on Front street.
Charles Keller, 12 years of age, and
lis brother, Frank, aged 8 years, sons
of John J. Keller, of River avenue.
Harry Reed, aged 12 years, step
n of Robert W.' Adams, residing on
.-itrawberiy avenue.
William Pulen, aged 17 years, son
-t Simon Pulen, residing on Spruce
treet.
It was also learned that George
iTrymire, of Shamokin Dam, steersman
n the ill-fated boat was also missing.
While trying to identify the injured,
vlrs. Fetzer, the mother of the injured
fetzer boys, appeared on the scene
nd in piteous appeals asked to be in
armed whether or not her boys were
itnong the injured. The scene when
he discovered the younger son severe
jr injured dnd later found the other
me dead was one that is beyond all
lescription anJ many heads were bow
d in pitying grief for the stricken
uother.
The ambulance and No. 1 dray
agon soon arrived and after the in
ured had received medical attention
hey were conveyed to the Mary M.
'acker hospital, while the dead boy
as taken to Weimer's undertaking
arlors where an examination showed
hat his bick and legs were broken
nd his head terribly crushed.
The complete story of the explos
on as can be learned from those who
ere near by at the time is as follows:
Butler Wendt, of Shamokin Dam
ngineer of the boat left for this suie
f the river preparatory to taking a
-arty up the river on a pleasure trip.
Vhen he landed at the whart on this
de the steam guage registered sixty
uve pounds and he was careful to note
lat there was plenty of water in the
oiler. Alter satisfying himself -that
verything was all right he left for up
' wn leaving Frymire, the pilot in
large, and arrived at the Central
lotel when he heard the report of the
1 xplosion.
Roy McDonald, aged n years, son
f W. H. McDonald, of River avenue
as fishing from the wharf about thirty
et from the boat when the explosion
ccurred. He states that he heard
le report and saw the flying wood all
round and the body of the older Fet-
sr boy go at least fifty feet in the air
nd land near the edge of the bank.
ileing young in years he was unable to
ender any assistance and went in

of
search of help.
William Lawrence and Samuel
Welker, who were employed in the
construction of a flat at the river's
edge at Arch street, were first lo arrive
on the scene and canied the bodies
of the injured boys up on the river
bank. All were unconscious with the
exception of Pnlen and the younger
Keller boy, who had been blown un
der the boiler of the Clement coal
digger near by and was unable to ex
tricate himself. The bodiss of the
others were found lying near the wharf
directly in front ot the boat.
The 'Montour" was recently pur
chased from the Pennsylvania Canal
Company the purchase price being
$4000. The boat was bought to be
used for excursions and a charter was
secured under the name of the Sun
bury Boat Company composed of the
following parties II. A. Reed, Harry
Guyer, II. E. Davis, W. L. Dewart
and Dr. C. H. Peters. At the time
of purchase Mr. Reed had the boiler
thoroughly tested by experts by hy
draulic pressure fifty per cent, in ex
cess to the working pressure.
The test was thoroughly made and
was the same as required and used in
that department of the service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. The
boat was used last Sunday and every
thing worked perfectly satisfactorily.
A NARROW KSCAfE.
All plans had been made for a
pleasure trip up the river and many
guests were in town from Hairisburg,
Williamsport and other places. The
party was beginning to assemble and
in twenty minutes time would have
embarked on their journey. The fact
j that several trains were late prevented
the party from leaving before the time
of the accident.
The body of Georee Frymire was
recovered lrom the water Sunday
morning, torn almost beyond recogni
tion. A coroner's jury is investigating the
accident. Several witnesses have been
examined, but no verdict will be ren
dered until Friday. It appears to be
tne general oelict that the overpro
duction of steam power caused the
explosion.
"Phone to Displace Ticker-
Lackawanna Railroad Will Abandon The
Telegraph.
Following the example of Western
railroads the Lackawanna Railroad
Company is about to install a raiload
telephone system to displace the tele
graph. Both general Superintendent
T. E. Clarke and Superintendent of
the Telegraphic System L. B. Foley
are advocates of the latter system, and
have announced th; company's decis
ion. This new system consists of a tele
phonic service similar to that of the
telegraph. In the place of the tele
graph instrument, telephone instru
ments will be placed along the line.
Printed blanks numbered and running
consecutively to 44 have been pre
pared. It requires only a few words
to fill in the complete order, which is
the only portion to be repeated, the
remainder being printed and absolute
ly proof against error. By the install
ation of telephones the company fig
ures out a saving of sixty per cent, for
operators.
It is planned to connect each tele
phone with a phonograph to record
each order. Discussing the matter
General Superintendent Clarke stated
that the company had decided to
adopt the system after long communi
cations with the officials of several
Western roads, where the service has
been in vogue for some time. The
experience has found it highly satis
factory and after experimenting on the
Morris and Essex division of the
Lackawanna the decision was reached.
One other Eastern railroad, the Penn
sylvania, is employing the telephone,
but only on its branches, notably the
South Fork. The Lackawanna pro
poses to install the telephones with as
much rapidity as is practical.

getting a small piece of ice every day
or every other day, instead of filling
the ice chamber two or three times
a week. The small piece 01 ice can't
reduce the temperature sufficiently,
and the result is that each new piece
melts rapidly and the food cannot be
