Cured a fire explosion that shooK Inc

into the air and set fire to two blocks
of buildings with a loss of life that only
the efforts of hundreds of men IN dig
qing away the ruins will reveal. scores
of nersons were injured by falling
glass and other debris. Fire broke out
in the big building Of Tarrant g Co..
makers of medicinal speclaltles, corner
of Greenwich and Warren Streets
filed with chemicals. One fire company
had inst arrived when the first terrible
exnlosion occurred and threw the
entire engine company doWntne STAIRS
The second explosion occurred nVe
minutes after the first. The building
seemed to leap into the air and IN a
moment masses of brick, timbers ana
stone were falling into the street me
force of the explosion tore away the
walls of the big commission store
houses fronting on Washington street
and caused them to collapse. FLAMES
bursting from the Tarrant building
found an easy prey. Across Warren
street the flames leaped and in an al
most incredible space of time warren
street was choked up with mass OF
flaming ruins. The great explosion
was followed by half a dozen others
scarcely less intense and by count
less number of smaller ones. Inc
scene had now assumed the proper
tions of a great catastrophe, and It
was thought hundreds of lives had
been lost.
Throngs of people were rushing
panic stricken, fleeing from the fire.
Five alarms had already been turned
in, augmented by general call Tor
ambulances. The heads of the city
departments hurried to the scene.
Half an hour after the explosion the
streets for blocks around the fire were
crowded with fire apparatus and am
balances, while hundreds OF police
were being rushed from all the lower
precincts of the city and many priests
from nearby parishes were going here
and there in the smoke-obscured thor
oughfares, seeking the injured who
might need their aid. The second ex-
plosion carried destruction in every
direction. That it did not cause whole
sale loss Of life was due to the facl
that almost ten minutes warning came
after the first cry of fire, and fully i've
minutes occurred between the first ex,
plosion, which warned every one with
in hearing, and the second one.
The second explosion completely car
ried away the station and the mass OF
masonry that fell with it broke
through the flooring and almost de-
molished the structure just below the
building. The station employees had
previously escaped in safety. The ex-
pIosion completely demolished the win
dows along Greenwich street on both
sides for three blocks in both direc-
lions. The first reports were that the
Tarrant building in it's fall mad crush
ed down upon two crowded restaurants
and buried a hundred or more in each.
Subsequent examinations showed if
any persons were caught in these
places it was the kitchen help and but
very few outsiders, if anybody The
only person known to have been killed
up to o'cloc4. was an unknown man
who died in a hospital from injuries
received in the street.
