TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Last Monday afternoon while being fired to resume work after a suspension, the 
250 h. h. boiler at the Susquehanna Rolling Mill, York, exploded with such 
terrific force as to wreck the building and throw fragments far away. Eight 
persons were killed instantly, and many were injured, two of whom have since 
died. Among the killed being Alexander F. SCOTT and Edward FITLER.
     Alexander F. SCOTT was a native of Lower Chanceford about 58 years old, 
son of the late John SCOTT, and brother of Mrs. Sallie BARNETT. He married 
Miss Lizzie Virginia PLETT, daughter of the late Thomas PLETT, of Lower 
Chanceford, who survives, with seven children - Ralph, Thomas, Almon, Herbert, 
Earl, Sherman and Miss Goldie. 
His body was brought down the M. and P. R. R. Thursday morning and interred at 
the Salem M. E. church where services were conducted by Rev. Samuel Hamm. 
     The body of Edward FITLER will be brought down the M. and P. R. R. this 
morning and interment made in Chanceford cemetery. Mr. FITLER's wife was Miss 
Alice McKINLEY, sister of Sylvanus McKINLEY, of Peach Bottom township.
