Cause of Accident.

The explosion occurred on a lawn in
front OF 2100 G Street. where the young
sters had assembled to set off fire.
works. The chemical mixture consisted
of chloride of potash. charcoal. sulphur,
and sugar. and it was ignited with a
sprinkling of sulphuric acid.
Boy Victims.
In the fraction of a second the entire
party of boys were hurled violently to
the street. and lay scattered about the
lawn. stunned and bleeding.
The explosion shook the houses in the
nelghborhood, and many windows were
shattered into atoms. On the opposite
corner two large panes of glass in
Quigley's drug store were broken, while
the windows in nearby dwellings suf-
fered a similar fate.
The report quickly drew a large crowd
to the scene. For half an hour after the
accident the excitement was intense, and
had not subdued when the injured were
hurriedly taken to the hospital
a report soon circulated that a num-
Der of lives had been sacrificed This
added to the excitement. and 1t required
the efforts of a detail OF police to quiet
the crowd
A few minutes after the explosion a
telephone message was sent to the Third
precinct for immediate assistance.
Call for Help.
In response to the call a detail of
police was hurriedIy dispatched TO the
scene
In the meantime the wounded youths
were carried into Quigley's drug store.
Several physicians in the neighborhood
were summoned and the burns were
dressed while the police patrol was on
its way to the scene.
The boys were then placed in the
patrol and conveyed to the hospital. 1t
required the services of the entire stan
to dress their burns and cuts.
Dangerously Hurt.
Symonds was found to be the most
seriously hurt. In both legs he had Sc
we're gashes, and was burned more or less
all about the body. While there is no
immediate danger of death. the physi
clans fear that blood poisoning may set
in
The other five will probably recover,
unless the wounds should become
poisoned from the chemicals.
