A Town Hall Blown Up by Gasoline.

A dispatch from Presburg, Hungary, an
nounces that the town hall at Somerein, twelve
sliles from Presburg, has been blown up by
gasoline. Later information received from the
same place shows that the municipal authori-
ties OF somerein have, it may be said, been sit
ting and celebrating over an explosive mine
for long time past. A no less quantity than
200 kilos Of gasoline used in the manufacture
OF gas for the illumination Of the town hall.
was stored in the cellar Of tho building. II
had frequently been said, jokingly, that if the
gasoline caught fire the municipality Of Some
rein would be blown skyward. Nobody, how
would take place. Early yesterday morning
the stock OF gasoline referred to did explode,
completely wrecked the town hall and fatally
injured three persons who we're in the immedi-
ate neighborhood Of the building. Had the ex-
plosion taken place during the hours when the
municipal building is crowded the loss Of life
would have been great.
