and narrowly escaped death or serious in

about to enter the structure. From their
stories 1t appears that there was some
warning OF danger as they tell of seeing
smoke pouring from the windows and
Ventalators. 1t was reported Immediately
after the accident that just before two

nections in the piping there and that in
some way they had allowed the gas ID
escape so that It ignited AMI the crash
followed. It is also reported that Carey
and Case had left the building but seeing
signs Of trouble had run back to it, en-
tering only a moment before the struc-
ture fell in ruins around them. One of
the men who so narrowly escaped death
is John FORMER, teamster, at work for
the Gas Light company. Mr.. FORMER
had inst tied his horse to the building
next to the one in which the explosion
took place and had stepped across the
threshold OF the generator building, but
the moment he entered it he saw that
something was wrong and turned aud ran
out. He had run half across the space
between the coke shed and the building
in which the explosion took place when
the great crash came and he was thrown
about fifteen feet into the doorway of the
coke shed.
Mr.. FORMER said the men were at work
in the cellar of the building putting in
new pipe. Just before the explosion the
smoke and gas came pouring out of one
of the windows next to the furnace
house.
Mr.. FORMER was somewhat shaken up
and cut about the ha nds with broken
glass.
Repairs were in progress on the roof of
one of the buildings in the court yard and
among those who were engaged in this
task was Edgar Nelson, Nelson had
left the roof to go for drink and was
about to enter the boiler house when he
was warned that there was danger there.
