Engineer Rogers and Walton Taylor, Negro, Torn to Pieces. Macon, Ga., Nov. 29.—By the ex plosion of a boiler used with a station ary engine at Lizella, a small station 10 ipilcs from the city, this afternoon at 6 o’clock, two men were instantly killed and two wounded, one of them, according to the latest information from the scene of the disaster, being now in a critical condition. The dead are: Paul Rogers. Walton Taylor. The injured are: James Wltham, whoso back is sup posed to have been broken and whose skull was probably fractured. An unknown colored man. The engine was used in a saw mill belonging to the Rogers brothers, and was in no way defective, so those In position to know assert. It was handled by Paul Rogers, one of tlie owners of the mill, who had been dis charging the duties * of an engineer for a long time and who was consider ed not only capable, but an adept The day had been a rushing one in order to fill the demands upon the mill and overtime had to be done by the crew. Shortly after 6 o’clock the engine was stopped and the crew gath ered about Engineer Rogers. The men were drawing off their overalls and discussing the day’s work, when suddenly a terrific explosion came. For miles around the noise was heard, whilo the earth trembled from the ^reat force of the explosion. Build ings near by rocked as thouab shaken •«>r an earthquake. Windows were broken into atoms and doors were torn from their hinges. The building In which the engine and boiler were located was split asunder and practically demolished. Pieces of the immense machinery were thrown hundreds of feet through the air, falling upon the earth with force sufficient to drive tbemstfeep into the ground. Consternation throughout the village was the result, and as soon as the people recovered from their fright willing hands rushed to the mill to ascertain the trouble and to render what assistance there was In their power. It Is the Impression, howeer, so the man who brought the new* to the city says, that the water In the boiler had run low and that Rogers was attempt ing to replenish it when the disaster came. It Is thought he was turning cold water into a hot boiler, with the Inevitable result. It Is the Impression, so the city by a resident of the place, who came In to notify Rogers’ brother who Is a guard to the county convicts.
