Charlotte Observer
Boiler Explosion at Troy

Four Whites and One Negro Killed and Three Others Fatally Injured - Too Little 
Water in the Boiler.

Mt. Gilead, via Norwood - Aug. 17 - A boiler explosion, caused by too little 
water in the boiler, at Taft's saw mill, at Troy, resulted in the death of 
four whites, one negro and three other whites and one negro badly hurt. Three 
of these will die.

The killed are Charlie Morris, Jim Capet, Samuel Ewing; the others are not 
known. All are unmarried. Dr. Ingram is attending the wounded. Mr. Taft was 
sick and not present. He is a gentleman from Virginia, in the saw mill 
business, and this misfortune calls for sympathy for himself as well as for 
the afflicted. The news from the scene is meagre.
