At Pittsburg, the steamboats, Juniata and
Mollie Ebert, with three empty bargcs, lying
at the Monongahela wharf, were burned to
the waters edge. The fire was discovered
in the kitchen Of the Ebert about half.past
twelve, and spreading very rapidly, soon
communicated to the other boats.
A terrible explosion occurred few even
inrs since in a Boston drug store. A build
ing containing twenty-five people was burst
assunder, and fell a complete wreck, killing
some and iniuring many. The force of the
explosion was almost yond description.
The flooring and other inflammable material
at once took fire. The fircmen went hero
ically to work to subdue the flames and
rescue the imperiled lives in the ruins.
The building in which the explosion oc-
cured is a four.story building with front
"a AMI a
depth of seventy feet on Lagrange street.
The ground floor was occupied by ID. Dow,
apothecary and manufacturer Of soda-water.
Various theories are advanced as to the ma
ture of the explosion, but nothing as yet is
definitely known. The most plausible idea,
and that most generally accepted, is that il
was a gas generation in the cellar that ex-
ploded.
