Terrible Disas ter in Alsen.
From the Alton Courier Of November 81
On Saturday morning about 5 o'clock, our
citizens we're aroused from their sluu.bers By
what seemed severe shock Of an earthquake.
That this was the cause Of the loud report, and
the violent shaking Of the ground, was believed
by nearly all mil tidings Of . worse nlishsp

that the extensive slaughter and packing estab-
lishment Of John Smith, ESQ.,, was in RUNS. II
spread rapidly, and hundreds 81 people repaired
to the scene Of the disaster. Arriving there
they beheld what was once the substantial and
meat building, but which was now = complete
and terrible WTesk. Of the bricks composing
the walls not i've hundred were left one upon i
another; the roof was broken into innumerable |
pieces; the stone Foundation was so racked that
it was rendered totally usless IN short the
whole building WAS an entire ruin.
The cause Of the ruin Was the explosion 81
one Of the lard tanks. used in The building, and
which We noticed some time since, steam being
let into it by the engineer il exploded with suc6
force as TO throw il up perpcndcuIArly. through
Two floors and the roof to considerable heighth
above the building. whence il fell again, nearly
