WRECKED BY EXPLOSION.
Chicago Firemen and Citizens
Killed and Injured.
FINANCIAL LOSS OF 100000.
Two Citizens Instantly Killed and Thir-
ty-Three Badly Injured-Two Theories
Advanced as the Cause of the Explo-
sion.

Ten minutes after an alarm of fire
had been given at 104 and log Madison
street, Chicago, Dec. %, a terrific ex-
plosiOn occurred beneath the sidewalk
in front of the burning building.
Structures were shaken for block
around and windows were shattered as
by an explosion of dynamite. Scores of
men and women were hurled to the
ground, and dozen or more were in
jured ty flying glass. Two were in
stantly killed
The LIST of the injured, numbering
thirty-three in all, is greater than any
fire in Chicago for a number of years.
The police report that none of the in
jured are expected to die.
It is estimated the fire caused g finan-
cial loss of 100000. Insurance agents
report total insurance of $157 900.
In trying to account for the fire and
the consequent explosion two theories
are advanced by those who are in the
best position to judge. o. l.. Tosetti,
one of the prOprietors, attributed the
explosion to the officiating apparatus
recently installed in the basement.
Several of his employees and some of
the firemen who came in actual contact
with the explosion believe that natural
gas was the cause of the disaster.
