Chicago, Feb. 6.-By an explosion

Chicago, Feb. 6.-By an explosion
Of illuminating gas in the basement
Of a two-story frame building at 376
Twenty-second street, last evening a
number Of persons, the total said to
be eleven, lost their lives and the
building was blown into kindling
wood. By S:45 p. m. five bodies had
been recovered from the ruins. They
were all of one family. Not member
Of the family escaped.
The bodies recovered are those Of
Otto Trostle, proprietor Of the market
at SO Twenty-second street; Mrs. Otto
Trostle, Otto Trostle, Jr., Minnie
Trostle and Annie Trostle. Persons
who claim to know assert there were
at least six more people in Trostles
meat market when the explosion oc-
Cured.
Two other explosions Of gas fol-
lowed so quickly that it was hard to
distinguish them. First to explode
was a main at Twenty-second street
and Archer avenue. Then the man.
hole, half block south on Archer ave-
nue., was thrown into the air by loud
III.
from the hole. The fire spread below
the street and smaller manholes were
blown into the air. The flames from
the first gas main shot high into the
air and reached, with the aid of the
wind, the Trostle butcher shop. The
building was a three-story frame
structure, and it had been weakened
and nearly wrecked by the shock 1t
g.. that &c, 90 he
building were knocked unconscious
or were too panic-stricken to rush
from the place. The flames caught
the weather-worn timbers. With
roar the building collapsed and the
occupants, with one exception, were
carried with it to the basement. The
adjoining building, two-story struc-
ture, flared up, the next building was
wrapped in flames, and then another
structure caught fire. 1t seemed that
the whole block would be wiped out
before the firemen could bring the
blaze under control. A fire wall Of
brick building, at the corner Of Archer
avenue and Twenty-second street, held
the fire in that direction. On the west
of the burning buildings were two
small one-story cottages. They were
u lew ltcL llOlu tnC ullS
and that gave the firemen an oppor-
tunity Of heading off the fire.
Many persons on buildings near the
explosions were knocked down. Scores
Of men and women, many Of them car
rying children, rushed to the streets.
They were greeted by the glare of the
fire from the manholes. Fearing fur.
Their explosions, the people rushed
down the street, many of the women
screaming with fear.
On several street cars near the place
the windows were smashed and the
passengers severely shaken up. When
people in the cars saw the flames gush
from the ground, all hands rushed
for the doors. A number of persons
were bruised and knocked down in the
excited exit. One car filed with pas
sengers was thrown from the tracks.
The direct cause of the explosion
Is not known, but all indications show
that 1t was due to escaping gas in the
basement Of the Trostle house.
