with players when the explosion came
and the men who had paid litsie or no
attention to the small blaze in the
building, appreciated the situation at
its proper value, when the windows
went sailing into 5he street and plaster
began to come down on their heads.
The rush in the street was dupltcat ed
by the excited billiard players, as they
plunged down the stairs for safety and

the stairway, some took To the fire es-
cape and those who were late or who

We're taken out by the firemen. The fire
spread through the building with great
rapidity after the explosion, and the
flames spread fiercely. The fire cou.d
only be reached in front and rear, and
was difficult of access. The severe
weather caused much of the water to
freeze and within an hour the building
resembied an iceberg with a furnace in
its interior. The burning building is
