Jumble of men, women, children and
broken timbers The crowd exhibited

Early today a match was struck in
the lower part OF the house to light
the stove and there was a terrific
explosion.
Explosion was Terrific.
The whole house must have been
filled with gas for the explosion was
OF such force as TO break windows in
houses block away, and It was
heard practically all over the city.
A moment after the explosion the
house was mass of flames and IL
was practically destroyed with all its
contents. The blaze was of unusual
stubborn Character owing to the fact
that the stove was wide open and
beiching gas into the rooms at a rate
that kept the fire at white heat. the

While the blaze was at its height,
two firemen attempted to rush a hose
into an upper story but were unable
to get farther than a doorway,
through which a volume of flame
drove them back.
Both were severely burned, one of
them probably fatally, as the flames
penetrated his mouth and throat
Bodies Flew Into Air
The bodies of Mrs. Grossman and
Bergerman were thrown many feet
into the air by the explosion, which
completely wrecked the house
Both bodies were blown through
one floor and the roof, and were so
badly magled as to be unrecogniz-
able
Others in the house managed to
escape after the explosion, but prac-
tica1ly everyone was burned more or
less, and some of them are in such a
dangerous condition that physicians
expect their deaths at any hour The
house was a roomlng house kept by
Mrs. Grossman, and was filled with
people at the time of the explosion,
all of whom with the exception of
herself and Bergerman were asleep.
None of them saved anything
whatever of their belongings and
some of them are in destitute con-
dition as their clothing, money and
all valuables were lost All escaped
