Boiler Explosion
   The engine "Warrenton" exploded its boiler on Tuesday while at Gordonsville, on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, in consequence of an over pressure of steam. The fireman, a white man, was very badly injured, and will probably not recover. The conductor was also somewhat injured. The engine belonged to the road above named.
