A DEADLY EXPLOSION,

Fourteen Thousand Gallons of Naptha

Killed and a Score Injured.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 22.-Shortly be-
fore $3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon ter
rifle explosion occurred in front OF the Poole
flour mill, on Mill street, at the foot of
Factory street. The exp. osion was felt
for long distance Only few seconds
after. the first explosion another fol-
lowed, and another, and another, in
rapid succession. instantly flames burst
from the Poole mill, and the rear walks fell
in It was only a few minutes before the
Washington mill, adjoining the burning
structure, was also On fire, and thence the
flames communicated to other buildings
One of the workmen jumped from the
third story of the Poole mill and is
seriously injured Another escaped by
jumping into the race. 1t is believed that
four persons are killed These are: Fred
erick Wilson, Edward A. Webster. Abram
Rogers and John Lee. The injured will
number at least twenty. Most OF them are
bruised and cut E
The cause of the explosion was that the
sewers in the vicinity were filled with
naptha Yesterday IA, 600 gallons OF naptha
were pumped from the vacuum oil works
through the pipe lying in the bed OF the
old canal 1t was intended for the Municipal
Gas Company, but one or more breaks in
the line allowed the naptha to escape into
the adjoining sewers When the sewers
became surcharged with the gas it escaped
into the mills and exploded there or else
wnere, and the fire made its way through
the mains in the middle of the streets
by throwing out the man-hole covers
and tearing up the roadway.
The aggregate damage is hard to esti-
mate The following individual losses are
known: Washington mill and contenos,
$50, 900; insurance, $35, 900; Jefferson
mill and con ,ents, $6O,OOO; insurance,
$35, 900; Clinton mill and consents, $780,

there is undoubtedly great damage to the
sewers The streets in many places are torn
up and there are many smaller losses to
buildings ..a.-.
