walls of the building fell on the mass of Struggling men who were wildly scrambling to escape to the street. Tha entire house looked as if a tornado had I,iCwsl through it's center. The front glass windows were broken and both sides of the structure were sh1ttc: ! by the concussion.
 The news of the diSastC" spread rap idly and soon Central avenue was jam med with people. Reports were current that several persons had been killed. The police and fi,emen took charge of the building and went to the rescue. Men were pulled from UGdc- the debris in terribly shattered state. One of the most pitiable sights was when Billy Helwig, blind manager Of the Lamar bath house. was taken from the ruins. HelWig was kE1wu tp thousands of visitors who came to Hot Springs annually.
 R. Chambers, one of the p.oprie -ors Of the Turf Exchange. is one of the Icssees Of the Fort Erie Ont. race track and is one of the best known sporting men in the country. His coz dition is serious.
 The injured were taken in charge by I local physicians and everything possi- ble is being done to alleviate their SUI lc.ilgs.
 The exact cause of the explosion has not yet been determined. T. is said by some that gas which had escaped in tho cellar of tho building was ignited in some manner causing the terrible accident. A report which is probably correct says a driver of a gasoline wagon was filling 9 tank in the cellar when tEe explosion occurred.
 The police have made full investi- Sati3u and have held Ben Murray. who is alleged to be responsible for the dis aster in carelessly handling the high C-mbustibIe. The bank roll of the pool room consisted of $55,O00 and was blown away in the explosion but the greater part of it has been recovered.
