to the scene of the explosion. Several men lift
ed the manhole from DOehring, and MclVers
sent for an ambulance. DR.. Chittenden respond
ed from the New-York Hospital and dressed
the injured mans wounds. He was taken TO the
hospital and after receiving further treatment,
sent home.
Many persons had narrow escapes from DelhS
struck by the mass of cObblestOneS and dirt that
filed the air. \ crowded Ninth-ave- horsecar
had lust passed the scene of the explosion when
the report came, followed by the sheet of flame
and the flying rocks. Several of the elevated
railroad structure pillars were dented bV the
stones In several instances the elevated Struct-
ure prevented the rocks from crashing through
store windows. Masses of dirt and rocks were
piled up on the sidewalk on the uptown side OF
Ninth-ave and on the car tracks. Traffic was
impeded for some time until the tracks were
cleared. -.
The cause of the explosion is not known. but
il is thought that the insulation of one OF the
electric wires in the manhOle wore off and a Ive
wire ignited the gas. A number OF persons who
were passing along the street were struck by
dirt and small stones but they escaped serious
injury.
