BLOWN TO PIECES.
A Dwelling Wrecked by Gas Explo-
sion.
Its Occupants Hurled from Their
Beds Into a Field.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 1O.-A peculiar natural gas
explosion occurred at Cannonsburg, Penn, yester-
day. A large frame residence was blown in pieces
and its occupants were hurled from their beds in
to the lot surrounding the house, alighting some
80 feet away. The building was owned and occu-
pied by Wesley Greer, and was situated on Main
street. The explosion, which occurred at O'Clock
lifted the roof from the house with such terrific
force as to carry it some distance away. The
sides OF the building, bulged out by the explosion,
collapsed Immediately the fragments of the
structure took fire, and in less than an hour the
whole was in ashes.
The occupants of the building, Mr.. Greer, his
wife and two children, a babe 10 months old and a
boy of four years, were all in bed sleeping sound
ly when the explosion occurred. They were car
red with the flying debris, bed and all, out into
two-acre lot, which surrounded the building, but
none of them were fatally injured. Mr. Greers
hair and moustache were burned, and his back
was seriously injured Mrs. Greer was burned
about the head and hands, and her hair was part
ly burned off The baby miraeulously escaped in
jury. 1t was securely wrapped up in bed, and the
clothing it is supposed, saved its life. The four
year old boy was less fortunate, being badly burn
ed about the body. The report of the explosion
was heard for miles, and aroused the neighbors,
who quickly came to their relief and conveyed
them to place of safety The dwelling and con-
tents are q total loss.
