BUILDING IS BLOWN UP
Succeeding Fire Does Great Damage
! In Lynn Shoe Factory.
LTNN, Mass., Dec. 6. A boiler explo
sion in , the four-story factory of the
P. J. '.Harney Shoe Company. at
Lynn today destroyed the factory, started
a fire which swept over several acres,
burning three other factory buildings,
the Boston & Maine Railroad station
and a number of small dwellings, besides
causing injuries to 11 persons. That there
was no loss of life is attributed to the
fact that the explosion occurred just be
fore the time for the factory operatives
to begin work. The financial loss is es
timated at $450,000.
Of the injured, six are at the hospital.
None will die. it is believed.
The explosion, besides shattering the
big . four-story factory of the Harney
Company. wrecked several buildings
nearby in the crowded manufacturing dis
trict. Fires immediately broke out. A
heavy, southwest gale was blowing and
the flames soon were beyond the control
of the local fire department.. Help was
called from Boston. In an hour's time
two acres in the West Lynn district
had been burned over, ruining th6 prem
ises of more than half a dozen large busi
ness firms, mostly shoe manufacturers,
and destroying 12 dwellings in Charles
street, principally occupied by colored
people.
The explosion occurred just about 1
o'clock, as the factory operatives were
assembling for work.
The firms whose property was dam
aged include the P. J. Harney Shoe
Company, Tufts & Friedman Shoe Com
pany, H. P. Hood Creamery, Boston &
Maine West Lynn Railroad Station,
Jacobs Leather Stock Company and the
M. J. Worthley Shoe Company.
The force of tht explosion burst the
four machinery loaded floors of the Har
ney factory and lifted the roof. The
wreckage spread outward, shattering the
walls of near-by structnres and aiding
the spread of the flames, despite the
heavy snow and isleet storm that had
started early in the day. - -
In a brief space of time the West Lynn
station of the Boston & Maine Railroad
was on fire. Unchecked by the wide gap
occupied by the railroad tracks, the
flames reached structures on the other
side, licking up first the leather stock
factory of the Jacobs Company, and then
sweeping through the district covered by
small wooden tenements. '
Miss Celia Tradenburn, an operative, is
in a critical condition. In addition to the
direct loss, the shoe manufacturers will
suffer severely front the Interruption of
their Christmas business.
Frightened Miner Loses Head.
. HOUGHTON, Miss.. Dec. . 6. Because
a Finnish miner was careless with his
lamp, one man, William Goggin, was
killed, and three, Dennis Shea John Sulli
van and John Handley were Injured at
the Quincy mine last night. Shea cannot
live.
The miner was splitting powder in his
hand when hot grease fell from the lamp,
firing it. He became frightened and
dropped the powder, burning, into a box
of powder which was fired and caught 14
other boxes. The explosion killed Goggin
and threw Shea and Sullivan down the
shaft 200 feet to the 23d level.
The shaft is badly damaged from the
l&th to the 24th level, and operations are
necessarily held up. Rescuing parties had
great difficulty in bringing up the suffo
catlngminers. Forty men of the nignt
shift had gone-down just before the explosion.
