Tlie most terrible result of this explosion was one of the most singular iu tlie records of casualties. On Haymiller street, over half a mile distant by map measurement, in a lice line, three little girls in a trot it yard were jurnpiugarope. A section ot the boiler was hurled all that instance, over the toiis of houses, and toll upon their heads. Two of them were killed instantly, and the third mortally wounded. This piece of boiler was a perfect cylinder, 14 tlt-t 5 inches long, 'J4 inches in diameter, and weighed a ton. Persons who saw it say that it looked like a stov pipe sailing in the air.
