On Tuesday March 14th, Annie, daughter of Pre. Abraham Meyers, Hilltown township, Bucks Co., Pa., was engaged in sewing at the house of her brother in Portland. As she was standing near the stove, looking out of the window, her dress caught fire; she ran out of the house (it being a very windy day), and the flames spread over her like a flash, burning her so badly that she died in thirty-six hours. Her burial took place on Sunday, the 19th, at Perkasie. She was 15 years of age. This sad bereavement must indeed fall heavily upon the afflicted parents and relatives. May God bless and comfort them.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

On Wednesday afternoon, February 22nd a portable engine attached to sawmill, belonging to Henry J. Troyer and George Stutzman, exploded, instantly killing five men and probably fatally injuring another. The engine stood on the farm of David Helmuth, one mile southeast of Carlisle, near the Walnut Creek (Amish) Meeting-house, in Holmes Co., Ohio.

There were seven men about the mill at the time of the explosion, six of them standing near the engine. Some of the bodies were terribly mangled, their blood, brains and entrails spattered over the timber and logs in every direction to a considerable distance. Their clothing was torn to shreds and almost entirely stripped from their bodies. It was a sight to sicken one to see the fragments of human flesh and even arms and legs strewn all around and lying at long distances from the bodies of which they were a part.

The unfortunate victims of this sad disaster were Michael Immel, George Stutzman, Andrew Beechy, Eli Beechy, Leonard A. Harshbarger, killed; Michael Stutzman seriously, if not fatally wounded.

Henry J. Troyer, one of the owners of the mill, was the only person on the grounds who escaped unhurt. He was standing eighty-four feet from the engine facing it. He was so stunned that he almost lost consciousness. It is almost impossible to see how he could escape. Debris of all kinds and large pieces of the boiler were hurled past him on all sides.

Michael Immel was 57 years of age and leaves a wife and children, some of whom are still small. His body was thrown 163 feet, and fearfully mangled.

George Stutzman, one of the owners of the mill, was aged 28 years, and leaves a wife and child. He was thrown 132 feet; an arm and leg were torn from the body, and were found a long distance from it. The body dropped in the road and was mangled almost beyond recognition.

Andrew Beechy was a single man, aged 19 years. He was thrown 336 feet. One leg was lying 103 feet from the body.

Eli Beechy, a brother of Andrew, was a young man of nearly seventeen years. They were sons of Benjamin Beechy. He was thrown over 100 feet, one leg was broken, and he was killed instantly.

Leonard A. Harshbarger, son of Jonas Harshbarger, was aged nearly 18 years, was thrown 168 feet. The upper part of his head was blown off, and found a long distance from the body.

Michael Stutzman was a brother of the unfortunate George, and a son of Jacob Stutzman. He was thrown 63 feet on a heap of sawdust. His leg was broken, he received internal injuries, and his face was also badly scalded.

George Stutzman was buried on the 23rd, at the Walnut Creek Meeting-house. Services by the brethren, Abraham Mast, Beechy and Miller.

Andrew and Eli Beechy were buried at the same place on the 24th with services by Moses J. and Samuel Miller.

Michael Immel was buried at the Carlisle burying-ground on the 24th. Services by Preacher Gohner.

Leonard Harshbarger was buried on the afternoon of the 23rd at Walnut Creek, where George Stutzman had been buried in the morning. Services by ______Beachy, Henry Kilmer and Jacob Kilmer.

The funerals were attended by immense crowds of people from all parts of the surrounding country. They were the largest funeral attendance ever witnessed at Carlisle or Walnut Creek. The sorrow was so great that the whole congregations were affected to tears.

Let this sad calamity teach us all anew that great lesson which must be so often learned over, and is so speedily forgotten, namely, that we should be prepared at any minute for the change from time to eternity, and to watch, for we know not the hour when the Son of man cometh.
