next morning and took wreckiug crew
to the scene of the disaster. In twenty
four hours the false work was in posi-
ton and traffic resumed. The fire was
evidently the result of sparks from a
passing engine for when first discovered

most OF the city, just previous to the
noon hour to-day. announced the ex-

rear OF the bottling works of r. Stro-

gas for the charging Of soda waters. aud

OF the explosive is shown by the heavy
wrought iron ends of the tanks being
torn away from the rivets. Mr.. Stro-
bach was somewhat burned in the face
by the acid but the loss of property will
not exceed $75.
