some hundred thousand dollars which Is
owing to the company that cannot be col

Killed:
BosroN, December 22.-Shortly before
7 o'clock this evening a terrible explo.
sion occurred in South Boston, by which
large number OF persons were injured
and several killed. It Is as yet impoSsi.
bic to learn the cause OF the explosion or
the extent Of the damage.
LATER.
The large gas main running under The
Federal street bridge 10 South Boston,
and thence along the waters edge under
the pavement on Federal street, exploded
with loud report, tearing up the pave.
ment for distance Of 100 feet or more.
The street was thronged with people at
the time, and many were buried under
the debris. Crosby's grain warehouse
was badly shattered, and will have 10 be
taken down. The foreman was instantly
killed. II Is supposed that several per.
sons we're blown Into the water Several
bodies have already been taken out.
The list Of killed and wounded as far
IA ascertained is as follows Killed, two;
fatally injured, four; seriously hurt nine;
slightly hurt, three. Seven persons are
missing, and are supposed to have been
blown into the water and drowned. AS
yet there is no positive knowledge Of the
cause Of the explosion, but II iSSuppoSed
that The recent cold weather caused the
pipe 10 burst, and the ground becoming
impregnated with gas ignited from some
cause and communicated fire to the con.
fined gas, thus causing the explosion.
An eyewitness says the first intimation
was a bright fash, followed by a sharp
explosion, paving stones, gravel and de-
bris flying In ali directions, and almost
Immediately thereafter the Causeway on
the right hand side, under which ran the
gas main, fell over In the river, carrying
with II several persons who were stunned,
injured or killed by the explosion. The
number Of these Ii not yet ascertained,
but II IA feared several were buried under
the debris at the bottom Of the river.
The pavement was completely torn up for
distance Of l75 feet.
