A Horrible Aceldent at the Colebrook
Furnneces.
Lepaxox, Pa., Nov, 5.—~One of the
most horrible accidents occurred last
evening at the Colebrook furnaces that
was ever known here.
On Saturday evening the iron broke
out at the hearth of No. 1 furnace and
was checked with great trouble. Last
evening at b o'clock it again broke out,
causing sad havoc in several families.
Ten men were engaged with block and
fall breaking the large mass of iron,
when, without a moment's notice, the
iron burst out on the west side, flying
in every direction, and about thirty fee
in the air.
Among those working at the place
were William Snyder, Isaac Seigrist,
Harry Bohr, Harvey Beck, Henry Fer-
tig, John Bohr, Enoch Isenhauer, Benne-
ville Eck, E. H. Tice and Henry Fore-
man.
The first four were covered with
a mass of molten metal and were burned
to a crisp when found in the debris,
John Bohr had his haiills and feet
badly burned, Isenhauer’s entire body
was seriously burned, while Benneville
Eck is dangerously burned, with but
slight hope of recovery.
ce and Foreman, working at the top
of the mantle, jumped on to the roof of
the slackhouse and escaped with slight
burns and bruises,
A large force of men were put to
work immediately after the iron had
been cooled by the fire companies,
Harry Beck was the first victim found,
burned to a crisp on the first mantle,
At 6:20 William Snyder was found
buried in three feet of molten iron. The
bodies of Siegrist, Fertig and Bohr have
not yet been found.
Weeping wives, mothers and fathers
are among the throng of people waiting
to identify the dead. Those who were
taken out were taken to the Good
Samaritan hospital.
The other bodies may not be found at
all, as the heat was so intense it is likely
they were burned to ashes.
