THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN,; PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1864
BOILER EXPLOSION IN THE
TENTH WARD.
Cornelius do Baher's Fac
tory Damaged.
Several Persons Billed and
This morning at twenty-five minutes before
eight o'clock, a frightful boiler explosion took
place at the gas fixture and chandelier manufac
tory of Messrs. Cornelius & Baker, on the North
side of Cherry street, between Eighth and Ninth
streets. In order to understand the details of the
disaster it will be necessary to give a description of
the factory buildings. It will be rem&bered that
the old factory was destroyed by fire in 1853 and
the firm took possession of the present structure in
February 1856. In order to guard against "a similar
calamity great care-was taken to make the building
entirely fire. proof. In fact no wood was used In
their construction, and the structure was made
almost entirely of brick, stone and iron.
The buildings five stories in height occupy three
sides of a square lot, with a large open space in
the centre. Windows open into this court yard.
As an additional precaution against accident the
boiler and engine room were lo,;ated in a separate
building which occupied the north side of the
quadrangle. In this building there were two
boilers in use, and an engine of twenty-five horse
power. The building in which-the engine and
boiler were placed was of brick, a single story in
height, and the boilers were in abasementlower
than the surface of the ground. There was a ctum
ney five stories in height connected with the en
gine house. There was also a small building used
for stamping metals which occupied a portion of
the quadrangle.
THE DISASTER THIS MORNING.
Beta een seven and eight o' clock this morning,
when the hundreds of v , orkmen employed in the
building were busy at their respective duties, the
boilers exploded with a frightful noise, dashing
the buildings in the quadrangle to pieces, and
tumbling the tall chimney already described into
a heap of ruins. A large space in the wall of the
north wing of the factory was dashed in, the
windows, and in some cases the iron sash
of the main buildings were broken in, and frag
ments of brick. work and other rubbish were hurled
in throngs the windows. The escaping steam also
entered the nearest windows and a frightful scene
of confusion ensued. Three men were killed in
stantly at their workbenches and several others
were more or less injured. The workmen who
had escaped unhurt rushed for the doors to escape
into the open air, and some of them in their fright
leaped from the windows.
As soon as possible the injured persons were
rescued from the ruins, medical aid was procured
for them, and they were subsequently removed to
the Pennsylvania Hospital in the Ambulances of
the firemen which were brought to the spot with
commendable promptness.
THE EFFECTS OP. THE EXPLOSION OUTSIDE THE
FACTORY.
One of the boilers seems to have been rent in
twain about six feet - from one end. The smallest
end, near.y six feet in length, and folly three fee:
in diameter, was, carried up into the air, pass.
ing over the western side of the factory,
traversing a distance of- about fourteen hundred
feet and falling finally in Cherry street, below
Twelfth. The mass of iron, weighing probably
more than a ton, after traveling a distance of four
equates, fell upon a one -storied building occupied
by Jolty:son & Co. ,bottlers, No. 1121 Cherry street.
It crashed through the roof, dashed out the brains
of John Porter, a workman who was loading a
wagon, made a wreck of the vehicle, passed 'out
through a large open door-way, wrecked a second
wagon inihe rear, struck the earth, rebounded,
and after passing through two intervening fences
landed in the yard of a house nearer to Twelfth
street. The main body of the boiler measuring,
probably, eighteen feet in length, was also thrown
up into the air, and- passing up over the factory
building it took a directly southern direction, and
landing upon a range of stables in the rear of the
William Penn Hotel, on Market street, below
Ninth, it made a wreck of the stables, killed a
horse and injured Mr. Lewis Robinson, a drover,
from Carlisle,•who happened to be in the stable at
the time. A smaller fragment of iron was thrown
over into Eighth street, and after grazing the build
ing on the southwest corner of Eighth and Cherry
streets, and knocking down an iron awning -post„
it fell in the street without injuring any person.
Many dwellings in thevicinity suffered considera
ble damage from broken glass caused by the vio
lent concussion in the air. This concussion, to
gether with the noise of the explosion and the
crashing of falling brick work, frightened all the
horses within its influence, and a number or the
animals ran away. adding to the excitement and
contusion which prevailed.
The disaster gave rise to an alarm of fire,. and a
tinge crowd gathered in the vicinity. The firemen
went to work at removing the rubbish in the yard
in search of persons who might be buried under
the ruins. All sorts of ridiculous rumors were
afloat, and the friends of workmen employed in
the factory were agonized with the uncertainty as
V, which prevailed for some time. A
under Chief Ruggles, were
large
g th e e ho ir o s y af o e f t
police,
promptly ur on duty and preserved order.
THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
The cause of the disaster is involved in complete
mystery. The boilers which exploded were consi
dered entirely reliable. They were built by Mor
gan' '
Orr & (:o. of this city. and they had been in
use for about three years. They were frequently
inspected, and only within a few days they were
carefully overhauled. On Saturday night the
steam was blown out of them, and they were fall
of water this morning.
In order that the firm might exercise a super
vision of the engineer there was a steam guage in
the counting-room of the factory. The engineer
states that he left the engine room for a moment to
procure some at tide for his machinery, and while
in the office he looked at the guage and found that
it indicated 65 lbs. lie was on his way back to the
engine room when the explosion took place. He
says there was not a sufficient pressure to run the
engine at full speed, and he was about to try and
get up more steam.
This statement is confirmed by one of the clerks
in the office, who looked at the guage five minutes
before the explosion took place, and it then stood
at 65. It is also stated that the injection was sup.
plying water to the boilers a few minutes before
the explosion took place.
The engineer has been in the' employ of the firm
for ten years, and he was esteemed a perfectly
Competent and trustworthy man.

for ten years, and he was esteemed a perfectly com- !
petent and trustworthy man.
THE KILLED
So far as could be positively ascertained at the
time of our going to press there were five persons
who were killed, and it is feared that tne number
will be increased. Three of the workmen em
ployed in the factory were killed outright. Their
remains have not yet been identified. They have
been planed in the hands of an undertaker, by di
rection of Messrs. Cornelius S. Baker, in order that
they may be put in such condition that they can be
recognized.
John Porter who was killed at Twelfth and
Cherry streets, and Thomas Albertson who died
after his removal to the Hospital, make up the ag
gregate of five.
It is also feared that a Mr. Snyder, a bricklayer,
who was at work in the yard, was buried beneath
the ruins. He has not been seen since the acct.
dent, and a strong force of men are engaged in re
moving the rubbish in search for his body.

SPRING RUN or Lrm BER. —During the past two
weeks, immense quantities of timber, boards,
shingles, &c. have been floated down the Alle
gheny from the head waters of this stream. The
run has been much larger than for many years.
The unprecedented advance in price has served to
stimulate lumbermen to unusual activity in get
ting all the lumber possible to market. Thus far
the greater bulk of the present run has gone to
Cincinnati, Louisville, and points below, and the
Pittsburgh market is still unusually barren of
supply. There is, however, a large reserve in the
pine regions waiting the "moving of the waters,"
amply sufficient, we are informed, to meet almost
every reasonable deman . d. —Pitizburgit Chronicle.
