GREENVILLE, Miss., April 2.—Yesterday afternoon the two massive boilers of the Planters' oilmill at this place exploded, wrecking the mill property and causing the death of five men as follows:
HENKY WILLIAMS, colored, fireman. OLIVER IIUMPUREVS, colored, assistant fireman.
ISOL FREEMAN, colored, laborer. HORACE WILKINSON, colored, carpenter. EDWARD STRASACK, white, carpenter. The injured: Frank Wolfenden, chief engineer, badly scalded and bruised.
Columbus Washington, colored, burned and cut by timbers: will die. Tom Brown, colored, badly bruised and burned.
W. E. B. Freeman, colored, leg broken. Alex Hughes, scalp wound from Hying timber.
Freeninn Pendleton, colored, leg broken and otherwise badly hurt. The explosion occurred while Manager Alexander was at dinner and the cause is stated to be a dry boiler. This version of it is not, however, definite, as all connected with the boiler and engiueroom were killed, except the chief engineer and lie is too badly injured to make any statement.
After the wreck of the plant by the explosion, fire seized the ruins, but this was suppressed by the fire department, not, however, until the bodies of the killed, had been badly charred. The loss will reach $.50,000, on which there is adequate insurance.
The scene attending the disaster beggars description. In addition to the vast throng of curious people there were scores of men, women and children gorging about the ruins in anxious search for relatives known to have been employed there, most of the latter being negroes. Their grief was intense and added to the melancholy of the situation.
