Williamsport Banner. FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. On Tuesday morning the neighbors of W. IL GERNERT, on Itedingtou Avenue, were startled by a loud explosion which caused considerable commotion, and which resulted in a serious destruction of property and a narrow escape fromjoss 'of life. Mr. GEIMERT bad a fine new range of the "Alderman" pattern set up in the south corner of his kitchen, do the back of his house. In the front of the range was a cast-iron " water-It:wk." with pities running to and from_ a reser voir in the secinid story. :On Monday night the waterlin the water-back, or ai, least in the pipe., froze, and when a fire 1 w.ts built in i the ange the steam , not find ing an escape, exploded the water-back with a .feaqul concussion.

Another piece flew out. through the dining-room and , sitting room and broke a window. One piece smashed the iron register in the ceiling over the stove, and another was driven through the panel of pantry door, - a leaf torn from the table, and the range made a total wreck. The room weaned with fire and smoke, and a conflagration might have ensued had not Mr. Gramm used the kettle of water to pet out the tire. The scene was a frightful 'one, everything being covered with dust and ashes and the debris of the range, and pieces of fur niture being scattered about.. Dr. 8.

VENNOR AGAIN. The Montreal weather neer has bad another revelation as to what is to dome in a weather lay. Writing to the Albany Argue under date of February 5, he says : The second cold period in February will reach us on the 22d, 22d, 24th and 25th days. This, it is probable, will be extremely cold along the valley of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers, northern United StatCs, and to the westward. Feb ruary will certainly end'cold. The second heavy snow Storm of the month should, by my theory, come on us about the tit , teentb, and this bids fair to be heavy, with drifts and fairly cold weather. We have yet. to get our heaviest SifiNfalls of the winter, and some of these are certain to extend through March. Up to the 15th the weather should be moist. • • THE BOILER EXPLOSION, We take the following particulars of the explosion of-the boiler in VAN HORN'S mill, a brief notice of which appeared in the I llzesntrea of last week, from the Troy Gazette of Thursday last : • f' Tuesday morning Mclntosh Hollow, in Ward townshil., oh the headwaters of the Tioga river, was the scene of an ap palling calamity that resulted in the death of two men and the wounding of another. Some time last summer, Lester G. Van Horn, of Troy township, built a steam saw mill on the Fall Brook road, about eight miles from Troy, and was cutting the timber from a tract of land that he had taken to secure a debt. Fngaged with him as having partial charge of the busi ness was 3lahlon M. Luther, of Troy township, residing near Granville Sum mit. Soon after starting last summer they found that the boiler of their engine, which Iran an upright boiler placed, in a horizontal position, did not afford thorn _power enough. In negotiating for a new boiler with Reid S Cooper, of Elmira, they bad a workman sent out and some of the tubes of the boiler plugged to in creams the steam makingcapacity of the engine. The engine had worked well up to 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning, which our readers will remember as one of intense cold. The boiler was set in a stone arch in the lower story of the mill, and at the time of the accident L. G. Van Horn was acting as fireman, and was sit ting directly in front of and a few feet from .the boiler. Charles Campbell, .or Leona, and M. M. Lgther were • at work about the saw up stirs, when suddenly the boiler 'exploded with terrible force, tearing the building to pieces and hurling fragments of stone, iron and wood thro' the air in every direction. The head of the boiler, a mass of iron weighing MO pounds, struck Van. Horn on the head, killing him instantly, and Was hurled 25 rods, burying itself in the earth, The dome, a piece weighing Weird Madrid pounds, was thrown still farther. A flying piece struck Campbell r n the side of the head, causing injuries) from whiehbedied an hoer afterwardi. Luther Wilk bruised and face tilled with ashes.-:* Another min, who was atwork on a skidway some distance from the mill, heard a terrific exp'oshin, and .look ing . bp, aarrJ the pit tilled with • boarda, 'timbers, stones and other flying debris of the and bad hardly time to hide under the skidway when a heavy iron fragment fell where he had been standing. The destruction was terrible. The mill was totally deetroyed,tbe l arth had not one stone left upon another, rind over the space of about two acres the ,ground was strewn th ick with timbers. 'boards, fragments of machinery, stones and pieces of the boiler. Help was imme diately summoned, and Dr. E. (I. Tracy rind Dr. C. F. Paine ware Called to the scene of the (limiter. On arriving they found Van Horn and Campbell dead, and Luther uninjured except from bruisestand the skin of his face filled with ashes. Van Horn's head was crushed, the banes 4)f, the skull bCing broken in many pieces. ,No wound's appeared on Campbell except a cut on the head and a discoloration of one side of the face, which may have been the result of scalding by steam. The cause of the explosion has been variously given. but it is apparently the result of, superheated steam, caused by low water in, the boiler. If, as seems probable, the primp tube was frozen, the exhaustion of water in the boiler would create the con ditions for a terrible explosion." RESOLUTIONS OP RESPECT. The following resolutions of respect to the memo ry of J. E. LILLEY were adopted at a regular meeting of Open Hand Grange No. Via, P. of H., held at Leßoy February 10th, 1880: WurttgAs, By the death of J.

This beautiful, commodious hall in which we meet, is a monument to his liberality and practical interest in the Patrons of Husbandry. While in the en joyment of health his place here was-sel dom vacant, and no duty devolving upon him ever failed of prompt and cheerful fulfilment. As Patrons, we can best hon or his memory by emulating his example. In the death of Brother DELoNo, his family have been deprived of one who always made home cheerful, community has lost an enterprising, industrious upright citizen, and the Grange one of its brightest ornaments and moat useful members, and the Order at large an in telligent, loyal Patron. While we mourn the dispensation which has removed from our midst one so emi nently worthy the high distinction he had attained, we bow in humble submission to the decree of the Great Master, who has called him from the labors of -earth, to enjoy an eternity of rest. While he was yet toiling be heard the ever gentle voice saying "Come unto me, for my burden - is light," and gladly obeyed. 'To our bereaved sister, thus widowed, and aged mother, bereft of a son, .we offer our sympathy, and direct them for consolation to One who rules in heaven and among the children of men, and who never willingly afflicts; his children. - As a token of esteem for our departed Brother, it is ordered that this minute be spread upon our records, a copy sent to his bereaved widow ; and the Husband man-, Farmer's Friend, and .pipers of Towanda be requested „to publish the same.
