sermons, one In English by Rev. Father

one In Spanish by Rev. Father Matthias

The scene at Elmhurst this morning
was one OF chaos In every direction.
Buildings are lcveled to the ground and
their woodwork II a collection OF splinters.
Three smokestacks that long lowered in
the vicinity OF Elmhurst lie PROSTATE
across the roadway.
Plant a Heap Of Wreckage.
Wheels. pipes and brickwork lie in a
confused heap. There Is apparently
nothing left Of the boilers that exploded
and wrought such havoc.
Some portions of the shattered power
plant were thrcvn a conside q ble distance
by the explosion. A piece of fencing
fifty feet long was blown across side
street and left leaning against tele-
graph pcle. part of a red-hot rail was
hurled through the transom of barber
shop. where Il started a fire. Bricks were
picked UP this morning by schoolboys
blocks away from the scene of the ex-
plosion.
Inhabitants OF Elmhurst were telling
stories of narrow escapes to-day. With
the air filied with flying debris. IL Is n
wonder that nobody was struck and killed
outright A number OF bystanders In front
Of one OF the restaurants narrowly es-
capped death. They were standing con-
versing when the tremendous report sud-
denly burst upon their ears and simulta-
neously two or three bricks were hurled
against a tree that stood between them
and the exploding boilers. The bricks
clipped a piece Of an advertising sign

myself yet what caused the explosion"
An impression prevailed among the rail-
road officials that Elmhurst and its public
thoroughfares were the private property
of the corporation and the people were
hustled about on the streets as II they
were on the domain OF the railroad. A
lot OF employees were sworn In as deputy
constables and lines were run In all direc-
tions Even when some expert engineers
asked permission to examine the boilers
in the interest OF their profession their
request was refused.

~ AKLAND. Nov. 4.-The cause of
N the explosion of the boilers Of the
III Oakland. San Leandro and Hay
w wards Electric Railroad at the
Elmhurst powerhouse last night
is easily explained. though the officials of
the company display more than the usual
corporation rcticence. The boilers were
simply overtaxcd and could not stand the
strain of furnishing power to haul the
large Sunday crowds.
When the Oakland Transit Company as
sumed control of the Haywards line. the
Transit Company management immedi-
ately turned the powerhouse at Elmhurst
into a general powerhouse for the supply
of their lines through Alameda and East
Ookland. The boiler capacity at Elm
hurst was ample when the Haywards line
was the only line operated from IL. but
when the Alameda system and the smaller
East Oakland lines were added the capac-
ity was taxed to the utmost. But by do
Ing this the Oakland Transit Company
was able to do away entirely with the
Alameda power generating station and
relieve the pressure upon their Piedmont
plant.
Sunday was a particularly fine day. and
the crowds that patronized the electric
lines were very heavy. The Elmhurst
power plant felt the strain all day. Cars
were late and kept getting later, showing
that the plant was overtaxed. Finally the
boilers gave way.
