SINGULAR ACCIDENT.


Fire Engine Causing Terrific Explosion,
the Wreck of the Engine and the Injury
of Several Persons-A Boy Missing.
DAYTON, O., May "a special to the
Times from Greenville. O., says: About
$50 last evening alarm of fire called
the department to the stable of Mrs.
Greager. After half an hours work
the flames were extinguished, when a
terrible explosion took place which was
heard all over the city, Crowds gath
cred and great excitment prevailed.
Upon investigation, a terrible spec
tacle was presented. Where a fire engine
and many people had stood, a gaping
chasm was presented Every thing was
confusion and the facts could not be
learned for some time. When at last
the truth came out, it was learned that
natural gas collected in a fire cistern
had ignited from the engine. The force
of the explosion raised the engine eight
feet in the air whence it dropped into
fhe yawning chasm. Cries of pain rent
the air. The front of F. c. Crute's
grocery store was blown in. Loss to
property about So, 500; insured.
The wounded are: Truman Southern,
fatally injured internally; Engineer
Bower. seriously bruised; Charles Hagis,
bruised; Thomas O'Brien, badly hurt
by horses, and many others struck by
flying debris. One boy is unaccounted
for, and it is rumored that he is at the
bottom of the well under the engine.
Work is going on to rescue the engine
and ascertain if any one is under it.
The origin of the fire was incendiary.
