Il fallen full length, the destruction would
have been immense, but the mass seemed
confined 10 comparatively email space.

was almost entirely oil brick, and somewhat
fancy In figure. I. was l6Tis feet high. OF
late, II hes been noticed TO shake some dur.

there were several, seemed TO have got larger.
No ono was hurt, for 1t WIS raining at tie
time, and the employees were driven By that
from the oFen area where the stack stood.
This accident will seriously interfere With
the furnace, for new stack cannot ha com.
pletsd for some months. When new s!a,k
Is builtit will be wrough. iron tube lined
