FIRE AND EXPLOSION OF STEAMBoILER.
Tuesday morning, at 6 O'Clock, heavy
explosion was heard in every part of the
city, followed by an alarm Of FIRE. 1t was
soon ascertained that the Rolling Mill, op-
posite the Gas Works, was on fire. We
learn that fire was kindled, as usual, under
the boilers, at an early hour, preparatory to
going to work-that from some cause the
boilers exploded, scattering fire in every di-
rectlon, and severely injuring the watchman
OF the premises. The flames were extin-
guished without material injury, though
there was considerable loss. The damage
sustained is estimated, by the proprietors,
Sellers s. Co., at $1,000. The works will
be stopped about two weeks. The cause of
the explosion is ascertained to be defect
IN the iron at a particular spot--C Gin. Times.
