A CITY HALL WRECKED.
Robbers Supposed to Have Caused a
Fearful Explosion in Detroit

AN explosion occurred in the City Hall Mt
Detroit, Mich, which caused frightful
wreck of the County Clerks Office, blew out
five big windows, threw down 4 wall twenty
inches in thickness, CAUSED the floors above
to unduiata, shook the entire building like
MI aspen leaf Tor IL moment an1 brought to
the spot by the terrific report thousands of
citizens. Building Inspector Harris says the
officials believe the explosion was n daring
attempt at robbery of the vaults of the City
Treasurcr's and Tax Receivers offices, which
are on tile floor just over the County Clerks,
but which witlstool the shock.
The explosion occurred III or near tile
vault III the County Clerks Offices. Book
md file cases, tables, chairs and all The Office
furniture were broken and thrown into u
confused mass. People passing OIL the side
walk were knocked into the gutter, and half
II dozen horses standing along the street
broke their fastenings and dashed away.
section of the inside wall II by Is feet was
blown out bodily. The dozen people i'll the
Clerks office ut the time strangely escaped
dangerous injury. All were thrown pros
;rate but regained their feet and lcaped out
of tho windows. Samuel }. Kclso was
standing directly i'll front ut tile vault uoor
when the explosion occurred. He was
knocked down and OH top OF him tell HES
and spIinters from tile bookcases. Mr.
kelso's hair and mu tachc were singed short,
his coat was torn and burned III dozen
places. Pieces of doors and windows were
blown 200 feet.
The first theory, that it was gas exrlo-
sion, was abandoned when it WIS found the
vault door was never closed, the vault being
only used rs q receptacle for musty files and
odds and ends Besides, there was no smell
of gas and electricity is used to light the
building. The explosion was caused either
by powder or dynamite. The collection OF
over 100000, it is said, in the City Treas
urers vault. If the robber theory is correct,
then the robbers intended to wreck this
vault, expose the treasure and make way
with it in the confusion. The damage vii:
amount to $4,000.
