exactly midnight sharp concus-
sion, resembling an earthquake, was
felt all over the city. Later il
was learned that 1ht
gasomeler OF the Roches
ter Gasllght Company, situated OF
Litchfield street, had exploded. The
gasometer was 100 feet in diametai
and forty-five feet high, with capa-
city Of 100000 cubic feet. The tank
was hurled in fragments in several
different directions. One piece
struck canalboat, injuring the
captain, who name Is unknown, 80
badly that It is reported he will die
The watchman of the gas works is
supposed TO haye been killed. as he
has not been seen since the explos-
ion. The company has been pre-
pairing to clean the tank, and it
lacked three inches Of being full OF
wnter, with all the vent holes in the
top open, consequently there is a
mystery as to the cause Of the ex-
plosion. Glass was broken all over
