STRANGE Explosion Yesterday forenoon. a
small cast iron stove, in the store Of Mr.. Thomas
Humphreys, at the corner Of Lancaster street and
Apple alley, exploded with terrific violence. The
stove wa terally blown TO atoms, and so great was
the force of the explosion that every window ipht
IN the store was broken, and great portion Of one
SIDE OF the house was blown entirely out Three
persons were within foot or two of the sioye- Mr.
Humphreys, Mr. Edward J. Thompson. and bow
named Edward Nenninger-all Of whom were more
or less injured. Mr.. Humphreys was wounded on
