DREADFUL DISASTER.


From 9 to AZ Lives Lost BY nm Oh Explosion
In st. Joseph, Mo.
ST. JOSEPH, No., May 24.-An cxplo.
sion of fifteen barrels of DanfOrth's fluid,
stored in cellar on Edmunds street, this
city, occurred at O'Clock last night.
The floor over the cellar was
occupied as a saloon and billiard
room and was kept by a colOred
man. A number of negroes were in the
saloon at the slime, all Of whom lost their
lives. The exact number cannot be ascer-
tanned as yet, but it is variOusly estimated
at from Is to As. Five bodies have been
recovered up to this time, all burned be-
yOnd recognition. II is said that one
white woman was in the place at tho time
of the casualty.
The building was instantly and COM
pletely demolished. The inmates were all
buried in the debris, which was completely
envelOped by the hot flame Of the burning
fluid. The efforts of the fire department
to subdue tho flames were Of no avail.
Several thousand excited people are now
surrounding the scene Of the disaster, and
many women and children are screaming
and bewailing the loss of their husbands
and fathers or friends. The cOncussiOn
shook the buildings several blocks around.
