The advocates of this bill,

John STAAB, about twenty-five years of

ANNIE MYERS, aged twelve years, crushed
and bruised, very serious.
A large number of others, mostly en-
plOyes, were slightly bruised and hurt
by being struck by flying debris. The
cause of the explosion is believed to
have been high pressure. A few min
utes after o'clock William Wetzel, the
engineer, noticed that the pressure was
higher than usual and he started for the
furnace to turn down the natural gas.
Before he had time to do so, however,
there was terrible explosion and Wet
eel was
BLOWN UP THROUGH THE ROOF
of the tannery and landed in the yard
outside. The cOncuSSion was terrific.
One side of the main building, a brick
and frame structure, 200 feet long, was
blown outand portion of the front was
badly wrecked. The boiler house, so
feet long by AZ wide, built of brick, was
totally demolished, and the Office, which
was situated across the street, was COM
pletely shattered. A heavy double
dence, sixty feet away, and the
side of the house crushed in.
Pieces of the boiler flew in
every direction. One section was
carried across the Allegheny river a dis
tance of over 1000 feet. Another piece
struck the Third ward school house
building. A third:piece struck horse
and killed it and fourth piece almost
cut Grand Rapids Il Indiana freight
car in two that was standing on a side
track near the scene of the accident. A
scene of the widest excitement imme-
diately followed the explosion. Fully
sixty men were al work in the tannery,
ond all who were able to do so rushed
panic-stricken from the building. To
add to the
HORROR OF THE SITUATION
the building caught fire, but before the
flames got much headway they were ex-
tinguished. The injured were then
taken from the wrecked structures and
removed to their homes. They are still
living, but very slight hopes are enter

full Chesapeake into the Patapsco. Fort
Carroll was reached about $50 p m
Here awaited the party three immense
bargeS i'll tow, which were loaded with
81, 800 worth of fireworks. Then began
a display that was the admiration of
everybody who witnessed it, and
which continued almost until
the steamer entered their slips
in the Baltimore basin. The whistles
of the steamers kept up continual
believing and footing. the bands played
national airs and the PatapSco was in
uproar. This entertainment was the
first display of fireworks given in these
waters since 1914, when British guns
belched their fire into Fort McHenry,
and to A. j. Carey is entirely due the
credit of originating it. The next inter-
eSting feature of the fireworks was the
bombardment of Fort Carroll by two
bargeS and the return fire from the
