The injured: Isaiah Gates, married, of Coalport; slightly. So far as could be obtained the particulars of the accident are as follows: A portable saw mill had been put into a small tract of woodland near Flynnton, the purpose being to cut up the timber preparatory to its being shipped to the market. Flynnton is a small village on the line of the Cresson and Irvona railroad. The mill wis owned and operated by Eobert Burgoon, of Flynnton, and there were these men employed on the work: Isaiah Gates, his son Frank, Demetrius McGough, all of Coalport, and Harry Burgoon, son of the owner, residing at Flynnton. All the employes were in the mill when the boiler suddenly exploded with awful force, instantly killing three of the men, injuring the fourth and blowing the mill to atoms.

The noise of the explosion was so great as to be heard a distance of three miles. Those who first came upon the scene of the accident could find few remains of the mill.
