BOILER EXPLODES,
Fireman Mualflager Dies at Hospital From
Scalds Received,
The exploding of a boiler at the
Pleasant Gap grist mill, owned and
operated by J. C. Mulfinger, resulted
in the death of his son, Gotlieb Mul-
finger, Thursday noon of last week.
The young man was firing the boiler
at the noon hour when the explosion
occurred. He was in a stooping pos-
ture when the tubes of the boiler were
shot out over his head, but these
missed him. In an instant the escap-
ing steam struck the young man and
scalded him ina most horrible man-
ner. Almost his entire body except
the abdomen, was parboiled.
The unfortunate man, at the direc-
tion of the family physician, Dr. Lee,
was taken to the Bellefonte hospital
for treatment, where nothing else
could be done than to attempt to re
lieve the almost unendurable pains.
Death came Monday morning, and
Wednesday forenoon interment was
made at Pleasant Gap, Rev. Bowers,
of the Methodist church, officiating.
The funeral services were largely at-
tended. His age was eighteen years,

J. 5. Rowe Injured,
the
Power and Mining Machine Company,
J. Bamuel Rowe was severly ipjured
Friday afternoon of last week. The
information received by the family is
indefinite, but the injuries consist of
at least a fractured bone in the leg
above the knee, and several broken
ribs.
Mr. Rowe is now in a hospital at
Hamilton, Oatario, Canadas, and it
was fourteen miles from that place
that the accident happened. The
cause of the accident is not known,
but it is presumed it occurred while
erecting a stone crusher,
The report first circulated was thst
the injured limb was smwputated, but
by inference from sabsequent letters
that conclusion was incorrect.
