THE PITTSBURO HORROR.
Physicians Estimate That Of the Hundreds Of Injured Least
Fifty will Die Cause Of Some Of the Explosions
Still Matter Of Mystery

Pittsburg, May ls.--Twenty-one are
dead and not less than 300 injured as
the result of the terrible catastrophe
at Sheraden last evening, OF the 800
injured the physicians say at least 80
will die
This long list is the result Of a
series Of four accidents, eliminating In
one of the most frightful disasters in
the history OF Greater Pittsburg. The
telescoping OF naphtha cars In the
yards Of the Pan Handle Railroad
company in Corks run. was followed
by the ignition Of the naphtha by an
open switch lamp. by the lowing OF
the naphtha, first free then ignited
through the culvert leading TO the Ohio
river, half a mile away, and It's explo-
sion with attendant damage to life,
and property, and by the explosion OF
three other naphtha tanks at the point
of original mishap after hundreds Of
people had been attracted to the spot
by the fire. which was sending up
flames 100 feet high. The explosions
were heard as far away as Duquesne
Heights.
The telescoping Of the cars was one
OF those things that not infrequently
happens without serious consequences.
Its subsequent ignition, by an open
switch lamp will later be fully investi-
gated. The cause of the explosion at
the point where Il once again broke OUT
into the open Is still matter Of en-
lecture. II may be that the tame fol-
lowed fast the naphtha that had gone
before and resented the cramped quar-
ters OF the culVert's opening sending
out a sheet OF naphtha and flame that
ruined half a dozen houses In the
neigh borhood, wrecking them. setting
them on fire, injuring not less than a
hundred people incidentally.
