EXPLODED WITH FORCE.
The Iluminant Manufacturing Plant Blown Up
-Four Men Killed.

Chicago (SpeciaD -Four persons
were killed and score of others were
injured by a series Of gas explosions
that completely destroyed the plant of
the Pyle Electric Headlight Company
IN South Chicago. The shocks of the
explosions were SO severe that all
the buildings near the demolished
plant were badly damaged. windows
were shattered for blocks and per-
sons walking in the streets were
thrown from their feet Overpres-
sure on tanks containing gas is be
lieved to have caused the accident
Many persons who were walking in
the streets near the plant were hurt
by flying pieces of debris and were
taken to their homes in Carriages
All of the dead were buried under
tons of burning timbers and hot brick
and iron, making it impossible to re
move their bodies for hours after the
accident occurred Firemen poured
water on the portion of4the building
in which the dead were thought to
be buried until the flames were sub
sdued sufficiently to permit Of the four
dead bodies being removed from the
debris.
The scene Of the explosion is the
old Hyde Park gas plant, which pass
ed into the hands Of stllesBepple's Gas,
Light and Coke C9nspagly several
years ago with the Contamination OF
the gas interests in Chicagas Through
lease the big plant is.,oecWped partly
by the Pyle NATIONAL Electric Head
light Co, which isflargely engaged in
supplying Illumination for3grailroad
coaches. This inuminant is forced in
to small retorts, which when attached
under the floor Of car willssupply it
with light for months In order to
make this possible the. retorts are sub
jected to an extremely high pressure.
1t was such a tank that caused the
first explosion. Without warning Of
any kind it burst Amid the debris
workmen were blown out Of the struc-
ture far into the street about the build
ing. Before anyone fealized what had
happened retoft after retort exploded
in such rapid succession that it was
almost impossible to distinguish the
detonations. There were nine such
explosions in all, which left the plant
in flames: Il Hard fighting on the part
of fully 100 firenen finally subdued
the flames.
The total loss caused by the. .acci-
dent is estimated at ST., ooo
