Delaney street early this morning COM
pletely wrecked the liquor store which
occupies the first floor, tore rent in the
wall of tenement house next door from
cellar to roof, broke all the windows for a
block in every direction and seriously In
jured two persons.
The gas is supposed to have found its
way into the cellar from a wrenched main,
which runs along in front of the building
and which has been recently tempered with
by the contractors who are digging the
trench for the subway which is to connect
the Brooklyn bridge and the Williamsburg
bridge.
Harry Cans, the bartender, detected an
odor of gas when he opened the saloon this
behind the bar he opened a trap door and
lit match. He remembered no more until
he picked himself up few minutes later in
the center of the room, where he was lying
at the bottom of a heap of debris.
Cans was lifted clear over the high
counter by the force of the explosion, and
on top Of him was piled miscellaneous
bottles and woodwork of all kinds. The
place was completely wrecked, all the win
dows demolished the back bar and its
sortment of glassware and bottled liquor
thrown in every direction, while the cigar
case was lifted from it's place in the back
of the store and carried out into the street
and dropped gently down at the edge Of
the curb.
Subway Waterman Hurt.
Throughout the neighborhood the general
opinion was Immediately informed that the
San Francisco earthquake had at last been
put into the shade All the windows in the
four-story tenement at 90 Suffolk street
were broken, and the crockery, glassware
and bric-a-brac of the tenants was smash
ed. In tenement house adjoining the
place of the explosion, 100 Delaney street,
q rent was torn in the back wall Of the
building reaching from the cellar to the
roof. 1t was thought for a few moments
that this building would collapse, and the
police hustled the families out of it as
rapidly possible.
All the stores In the neighborhood suf-
fered more or less from the e., )losion. Sew
eral hundred dollars worth of plateglass
was broken.
Thomas McQuail, a Waterman employed
by the subway contractors, was standing
away, when the crash came. He was lifted
over the guard rail and thrown into the
excavation, breaking a bone in one leg.
Both he and the bartender, whose injuries
are serious, were taken to GouVerneur Hos
pital.
The damage to the house at $50 Delaney
street will be over 5000, and the total
damage will amount to nearly twice that
amount.

MACHINISTS GET EXCITED.
Proposed Hearst Reception Causes
Warm DEscussiOn.

Emmett L. Adams, delegate from Co

lighted torch into the powder train at

want TO do the same thing 10 the man
who roasted him to death There were
grave charges preferred against Mayor
SchmitZ, so far as I can gather by
newspapers all over the country, and
it was the papers of which Hearst is
the owner and guiding hand that
played the principal part in this roast.
I want TO know where we get off for
consistency 1 am rot opposed TO
either. and am ready to greet both as
friends OF labor, but here are two men.
one making violent attacks on the
other and I think we should show a
little consistency

within a week he could come on short
notice. 1t is hard, however. continued
President Brinkman. to get an audi
tOTium For this reason we decided
that it must be some Sunday afternoon.
Emmett l. Adams closed the discus
sion in an address in which he made
an able defense of both men and the
union.
Il don't believe the president of the
American Federation OF Labor would
give n man the hearty Endorsement
Samuel Gompers gave Mayor Schmitz
if he thought he was the least bit dis
honest. believe he is honest; Mr.
Gompers said so, and that is all I re-
quire For my part. I am broad and
liberal enough to take Mayor SchmitZ

both. You like Hearst's policy in gen
