The explosion came without an in
stant's warning and second after the
concussion the walls had been thrown
down and the entire structure was
mass of flames. Not person in the
Office escaped alive. Five workmen
engaged on the second floor were
thrown twenty feet into the air and
these were the only persons who
escaped They climbed through the
debris and are now at the city hospital.
go .. Although the cause OF the explosion
has not been determined, 1t is said
that some of the employees of the COM
pany were emptyfng. some oil tank
cars into the tanks In the basement of
the building and tt is possible that
sparks from switch engine ignited
the infiammabfe fluids. Several explo-
lions followed in quick succession and
made the work of the firemen both
-hifRcult and dangerous. The men could
not approach the ruins and the water
thrown on the flames was without eff
feet. All the department could do was
to permit the flames to burn them
:. selves out and then search foE the bod
les OF the dead.
The stock was valued at $4,000 anG
the building at $4,000. The insurance
was $4,000 and the loss is total. AL
that remains of the building is fire
wall, which stood between the Office
and the tank room. All the other walls
are leveled. Since the great mill ex

REGARDING A PERMIT.
Shed Erected From Which to Sell Coal
at 81 so Per Ton

Charles E. Daily Of 61O 14th street north
east has written to the District Commits
sioners protesting against the frame build
ing at the northeast corner Of 14th and F
streets northeast, which he says is used as
a stable. He desires to know whether 1t
has been erected in accordance with law
A report from the building department
on the subject says permit to erect the
building was issued under the authority Of
the regulation which allows sheds in wood
and coal yards. The building was erected
upon application Of ]. D. Croissant, who
said it was for the purpose of facilitating
the handling of coal, which 1t was an
nounced was to be sold to the people at
$3.50 ton. Building Inspector Ashford
says in view of this fact, and In an emer-
gency such as has existed in the fuel mar
ket, he acted upon the application prompt
ly and without the usual inspections and
references. He believed that the object to
be gained would more than offset the tenn
conditions Of the permit require that the
shed shall be removed within ninety days
from January last.
Capt. Harding, assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner, in charge of the building de-
partment, says he understands the only de-
parture from the regulations in this case
consisted In the issuance of the permit in
advance OF the approval of the Commits
sloners. This was due to the emergency of
which the Engineer Commissioner was
aware. Captain Harding recommends that
the approval Of the Commissioners be now
given.
