Another Reading Locomotive Explodes, Bacrificing Five Lives, Pormsvirie, Pa., Nov, 15. —A most dis. tressing accident occurred on the Phila. dedphia and Reading railroad at Conner's Crossing, a short distance north of Bchuylkill Haven, when the boiler of Mogul engine No. 563 exploded, killing five men and probably fatally injuring another, Engine 5683 was northbound with a Baavy train of empty cars. William Cowhey, with his crew, had brought up a train of empty cars, and after running them into the Soin hoy yards, boarded engine 563 at the Mine Hill crossing, with the intention of reaching their homes in that way, and, as is customary, took possession of the cab. Dobbins, who escaped instant death, was crowded out of the cab and was sitting on the tender. The men had barely been on the en- gine two minutes when the terrible fatal explosion occurred, throwing the crews into the air in all directions, and to eternity. The unfortunate men were horribly mangled, two of them being blown to atoms. Cowheys and his fire- man were blown up against a high em- bankment, and the former's face was crushed to a jelly, while Moyer's body was badly crushed, The killed are: Henry C. Allison, en- fines of No. 563, residing at Palo Alto; ves a wife, William Mackey, fire man of No. 583, Pert Carbon; wife and one child. William Cowhey, an engi- neer, on his way home to Mount Carbon; leaves a wife and ten children, William Kendrick, conductor, of Port Carbon; wife and four children. William Moyer, Cowhey's fireman, Palo Alto; single, Besides the above Michael Dobbins, « Mount Carbon, a brakeman of Engines Cowhey's crew, was badly scalded and will probably die.
