Harvey Day (colored), had been working at the distillery off and on for the past fifteen years. He worked this summer at Ellert Harmes' brickyard and went back to the distillery a few weeks ago. He was carrying brick to John Brooks, and was between the two batteries when the explosion occurred. His body was the last one found. It was terribly burned and scalded and could scarcely be recognized.

M. Keiley came here about a week ago to cement the boilers. He lives in Cincinnati and is in the employ of John B. Nicholift. He was working on top of the boiler, and was killed instantly.

Joseph Denny, firemen of battery No. 2, was taken out dead and in a mangled condition. He was married and lived at No. 918 south First street.

Wm. Frank Stanley, assistant engineer under Charles G. Foote. Mr. Stanley was taken out alive but with both legs and an arm broken. The right shoulder was dislocated. He was conscious and talked to the men who were getting him out of the debris. He was carried on a stretcher to his home, No. 511 south First street, and Drs. Willien, Swaffurd and Worrel were called. He remained oonscious up to the time of his death which occurred at 8:40 at night. A few hours before his death he told engineer Chas. G. Foote he could not account for the oxplosion. He was sure he had four guages of water on and nearly lOOjpounds of steam. This is about the usual run. Mr. Stanley was regarded as a thoroughly competent and careful engineer. He leaves a wife and three children, the oldest of whom is about seven years old. He was related to Justice Denehle.

The wounded consist of: Wm. Dlnkle was getting slop at the time of the explosion and received several injuries. A piece of timber is supposed to have fallen on him. He has a very ugly scalp wound but Dr. DePuy, who Is waiting on him, thinks he will recover. Mr. Dinkle resides two doors east of Mt. Rose church, on College street. He has lived here for the past fifteen years.

Willie Kirtley, aged fifteen years, received some very severe Injuries which may prove fatal. He has been working for about a year, selling slop. He was about the first taken out, and was immediately carried to his home on Second and Wilson streets. He is terribly burned, and his left arm, which is broken, is giving him great pain. It is very doubtful whether or not he can recover, as he seems to have been injured inter nally. Doctors Link and Laughed are doing all that can be done for nkn. His mother, Mrs. George Link, a sister-in-law of Dr. Link, come down from Chi eago Thursday morning.

Hamilton B. Johnson wasabout thirty feet from the battery getting a drink when the explosion occured. He was knocked down aud remained unconscious until six o'clock in the evening. He lives on the corner of Second and Park streets/

Washington Simpson, of OlarK county, Ills., was at the distillery to get a barrel of slop. His injuries are not serious.

Eugene Mehring, aged nineteen years, received a gash on the head. He lives at No. 721 south Fourth street.

Henry Wilson, fireman, sustained a fracture of the right arm and injuries about the bend. He is unmarried and resides at 109 north Third street. He is terribly scalded and is kept covered with cotton saturated with oil.

Ex-polioemah Frank Brown was injured slightly.

John Yow«HM»aL hauler, was injured, by a smoke stack which fell across hi* wagon, fracturing his skull and breaking the collar bone. He is badly hurt, but will probably recovery.

George Trout a glazier, was struck by Hying pieces. He waa uQcoosdoua until Thursday evening and then wanted to know who hit him. He has been spitting Mood. His father was killed by an injury of a atmfiar TOrturer

The cause of the explosion is a mystery. All of Uw testimony before the coroner's jury goes to show that. Uw proprietors have exercised all possible precautions, that the chief engineer has constantly eaatioaed the Axemen, that the boilers were inspected and found apparently all rigftt only last Sunday, that there waa evidently plenty of water, and that the steam pressure was .below that ortfinarilr carried. bmt t|

The pecuniary loss to tte proprietors will not bemote than fS^OOO.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER!

At a few minutes after three o'clock, on Wednesday afternoon, one of the four batteries of boilers at Cox & Fairbanks' distillery exploded, causing a greater loss of life than any accident that has occurred in this city. The killed are as follows:

William Bergmann, cattle feeder, was standing in the cattle pen when the explosion occurred, and was crashed to death. He had been working about three weeks. He was taken to his home at 1625 south First street. Mr. Bergmann was fifty-six years of age, and had lived in this city thirty-four years. Heattend ed the wedding of his son only the night before the accident.

John Brooks, bricklayer, was working near the boiler, and was instantly killed He leaves a family who reside on Oak street. He had been working at the distillery for the last five years.

IT'S the strangest thing out how stovelegs can make away with themselves during their summer vacation. Of course every housekeeper knows she put the legs away with the rest of the "fixins, but that doesn't mend the matter when the stove has to be propped up with bricks till anew leg is hunted up.

DR. F. A. VON MOSCHZISKER, who gained considerable notoriety here as specialist for diseases of the eye and ear, and as a writer of prose and poetry for the city press, a genial gentleman and a clever conversationalist,—one who had seen all the world and was personally acquainted with nearly every prominent personage in this and the old world, was found dead in his bed, at Washington last Sunday morning. Heart disease was the cause. The Doctor made money rapidly, but spent it foster than he could pay his debts, as is attested by unpaid advertising accounts on the books of the newspapers in this city.

Sylvester Stewart of this county has long been afflicted with Lung trouble or consumption and was told by his physi clans that he must die in a very snort time.

Stewart is anxious that all consumptives should know of Dr. Jordan's wonderful medicines. For further particulars address. SYLVESTER STEWART,
