AWFUL CATASTROPHE.
Many Lives Lost and Hundreds Terribly
Burned by q Eaptha Explosion
ataPittsburg, Pa.

Shefaden, Pa, May IA remark
abRe series of explosions between 4 and
O'Clock last evening caused the death
OF at least twenty-five persons, the
burning and injuring Of 800 Or 800
others, and q property loss that will
run into hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. The cause of the catastrophe was
the explosion of q naptha- car, brought
about by a leak IN the car, which com
municated to q switch light near by,
causing q terrific explosion.
When all danger was apparently
passed q second explosion of naptha
followed far worse than the first.
The flames from the second car were
thrown 500 feet in the air, completely
enveboping the on-lookers In an in
slant the scene was one beyond de-
scripthm. The air was superheated to
a degree impossible for human life to
exist in. Those nearest the exploded
cars were caught and fell to the
grouud.
The clothing Of those farther away
was soon afire, and the victims ran
about tearing their burning garments
from their bodies and screaming for
help. In the meantime the fire had
spread to other cars and in an incredi-
bly, short time the entire yard was
ablase.
The burning oil is said to have en-
tered what is known as Cork Run
sewer, and came out one and a half
miles below, where another fire was
started. The burning oil was carried
through the sewers to distant parts of
the district, one Of the results being
an explosion in a poolroom at McKees
Rocks, where hundreds of men were
gathered Four mel are reported
killed at this point.
The intense excitement and confu-
sion incident to the explosion make it
impossible to get anything lihe a re-
liable estimate of the dead and injured
but from some of those who escaped it
is learned that hundreds were lying
around on the ground in all conditions
Of injury and death.
