bnt were carried away by friends and their
names cannot be learned tonight. The
houses for several blocks around the scene
ofthe explosion have been made into hos
pitfalls, where many are being cared for.
Miss Belle Smith, who was badly injured.
had gone into the doomed house Just prior
to the explosion. Her face was badly
bruised and she was suffering from many
bruises about the body. She was
almost completely buried in the
debris and had to be dug out.
The doctors pronounce her injuries
serious, but think she will recover. Elmer
Gales, q young man, was standing opposite
the house when the second explosion oc-
CURED. and was struck by missile which
broke his leg. A young man named
Meshilder, who is q resident of Granville,
Ohio, was severely burned and shocked.
Pet Morritt, fiftecn-ycar-old girl, was &C.
s:ously burned about the shoulders and
chest When she reached the street she
was almost naked. Her life was saved by
turning stream of water on
her. DR.. T. X. Wissinger was in
the james house when lie was
hurt. He was attending the patient in
jufed at the other place when the second
explosion occurred. Those who heard him
talk say he said he suddenly saw the flames
creeping along the floor of the room, and
Immediately threw himself under table
and placed his hands over his eyes to shield
them. Benjamin Morgan, also spectator,
was badly injured. He was knocked down
by one of the hose carts In the general rush
for safety, after the first explosion, and then
1Hvrt1 t1,ns
at Shawnee. and was q delegate to the
miners convention which has been in ses-
sion here. He is thought to be
INTERNALLY INJURED.
Theodore Shouting was watching the fire
across the street when the explosion oc-
CURED. The blaze and falling debris
frightened the horses of q hose cart,
which wheeled and ran on to the pave
ment. The gentleman was knocked down
and had one leg broken in two places.
Tom Doyle, a saloon porter, was burned in
most horrible manner. When the
impromptu bandages were removed
from his hands the flesh dropped of
in many places, leaving the bone exposed.
Police Oficer Lynsky was in the house at
the the time it fell and was badly injured.
The scenes at the norgue are Ghastly. The
remains ofthosc killed are cut and burned
almost beyond recognition. Peter Marritt,
alamplighter, occupied one part OF an ad-
joining house. which was wrecked. He
has four children, and all Of them are
badly injured. Another part of the
same house was occupied by a
widow, who DISAPPEARED when the explo-
sion occurred, and cannot be found.
Archie Mcneil had his leg broken and was
otherwise badly bruised. Mr.. Mcneil was
sbystander who was caught by the falling
walls. The saddest case was that Of Ed
Pfa6er. He was struck by the falling tim
befs and terribly cut about the head. The
shock Of the blows rendered the man q raw.
ing maniac for the time being. 1t required
the united efforts of several men to hold
him on the patrol wagon as It Dashed up the
street. AZ midnight half . dozen persons
were unacoounted for, amonk whom were
the Widow Tull and jh9 son, who occ,l-
pied pat Of the 6nt he use that exploded.
