A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

CINCINNATI Feb. 15.-At one o'clock
this morning the people in the vicinity of
No. 80 Wilstach street, on the border of
the inundated district in the western part
of the city, were startled by loud ex-
plosion which broke glass in the windows.
A three story brick building, occupied by
four families numbering seventeen, was
found in ruins by an explosion from fire
damp or sewer gas in the cellar and all the
people were buried in tie debris. A scene
of terror followed It was supposed that
the explosion was caused by the pressure
water in the sewer, and people thought ar
other explosion would follow Many left
their houses in the utmost alarm and fed
thinly clad, to places of safety. A fire
alarm was turned in, which added to the
CONSERVATION, and the fire department re-
sponded promptly. Finding no fire they
went to work to rescue the unfortunate
victims. This was slow work. The house
was owned by Jacob Brown, who, with his
wife two sons and two daughters, Occu-
pied the first floor. Officer Mack, a spec
ial policeman at Fourth and Vine, known as
King William, occupied front room on
the second floor with his wife. The back
part of the same story was occupied by
VIM Miller wife and two children. The
third floor was occupied by VIM. Harmon,

occupants had been taken out. Officer

and Mr.. Miller are dead. John and Henry
Brewn and Robert Rackamapn, neighbors
who were in the house at the time,
are badly hurt and can hardly recover.
Jacob Brown and wife were recovered
after several hours labor, severely but not
fatally hurt His daughters were taken
out comparatively unhurt. Mr.. Miller is
badly injured All the rest of his family
except the child named above, escaped
with small injury. Harmon and his family
also escaped with but slight injuries. The
Brown boys and Rackaman were building
a raft and wanted lumber in the cellar. |
They went for it with candle when the
