destruction of the plant but for the
prompt action by the employees. Az
result, two men are badly burned,
one seriously so, and considerable
damage done the machinery. The
report of the explosion was heard all
over Northyiew, and the residents of
that section thought at first that the
entire plant had gone up. In some
manner the natural gas sprung a
leak and collected in one Of the fur
naces and in as equally unaccount-
able manner it became ignited.
