Work VIII Continue GA the Wrecked
Cincinnati Building.

Cincinnati, May 5.-The gasoline explo-

ASP Walnut street last night has required
the attention of all the city departments
today. The street cleaning forces were
working on the debris. while the tiremen
and police were on duty for squares about
the wreckage. Fatalities in the building
occupied by Adolph Drach and Louis Fey,
with the cafes and saloons on the first
floor and flats on the upper floors, were
not as great as estimated last night.
In order to rescue the victims from the
pile of debris holes were cut through the
walls and foundations of the adjoining
buildings Today it was found that the
adjacent walls showed the effects, either OF
these openings or of the explosion, and
all of the occupants of the buildings at

There is much Indignation today because
the explosion is said to be due to careless
ness in emptying gasoline in the tank
leaving it so exposed that flash from de
ranged electric wires caused the explosion
but as Adolph Drach was himself expert
menting with the new engine and elctri

can not be any investigation or redress.
