M. on Friday, February 21st, a very violentboiler explosion occurred at the plant of the Mobile Electric Co.,Mobile, Ala. Two boilers of different makes were concerned withthe explosion; both boilers were of the water-tube type — onebeing a Heine and one a Stirling. Four persons were killed by theexplosion, three outright at the time of the accident, and a fourthinjured, whose death subsequently resulted. The explosion wasfollowed by a fire which caused still further damage to the wreckedplant. EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

The equipmentin the new plant was very little damaged
