IRREPARABLY SHATTERED,
Works of Art Destroyed by the Force ol
the Explosion.

Works of Art Destroyed by the Force of
the Explosion.
ROME. April A.-The explosion yesterday,
which caused heavy damage and loss of life,
cheated great alarm at the vatican. All the
windows in the pope's library were broken
and a number of precious relics destroyed.
The stained glass windows of St. Peters
and st. Paul's were damaged and many
relics destroyed. St. Paul's church will be
closed while the damage is being repaired
The destruction was irrepaInble, as the val
uable works of art which were destroyed
cannot be replaced. Some time will elapse
before the full amount of damage can be
known. 1t now transpires that the pope
was engaged IN prayer when the explosion
shook the vatican building. So severe was
the shock that his holiness would have
fallen had not one of the servants caught
him.
Investigation shows that the explosion
was caused by the accidental ignition of
some she'll CAPSULES. A number of the in
jnred have died. King Humbert to-day
called at the hospital and visited the
wounded people. The kings sympathetic
action in conveying the wounded in his
own carriage to hospitals yesterday and in
visiting the wounded to-day is very highly
appreciated by the populace of this city.
Among those hurt by the accident is Billot,
the French ambassador, who was slightly
injured by falling glass.

Considerable Damage Done by Water at
the Power Block.
The waste water pipe leading from the
roof on the northwest corner of the Power
block got choked up yesterday during the
rain. The pipe filed with water very
rapidly and overtlowed to the caves of the
roof. Thence it found it's way through
and poured down the stairway in a steady
stream. The walls suffered greatly. the
plastering i'll and around the corner where
the stairway is located. becoming thor
oughly saturated. great portion of it
will doubtless have to be removed and new
plastering put on. The stairway w-s
afood all the afternoon. and people wish
ing to go from one floor to another, made
liberal use of the elevator. Men
were put to work at tho place
as soon as the leak was discovered, aud it
took them quite time to locate the
trouble. When they finally found the
cause the remedy was soon applied. 1t was
not until late i'll the day, however, that the
stairways were passable. The damage will
amount to considerable how much it will
be impossible to tell until things dry out
and it ia seen what repairs are necessary.
