Chicago Inter-Ocean November 22, 1875
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 21.

At 4:45 this morning Moorehead & Co.'s blast furnace on Second avenue, in the 
Fourteenth Ward in this city, exploded near the tap hole. Michael Halpin was 
struck and knocked down by a stream of molten iron, which was then scattered 
over him. He was horribly burned, and lingered in terrible agony till 9:30 a. 
m., when death ensued. Edward Crosder, a young man, was burned on the back of 
his legs and side of head. He can scarcely recover. Jacob Brawner was also 
burnt on the face and body, but not so seriously. The cause of the explosion 
is not known.
