II Is understood authorita,IVely that IL
is the intention of the Northern Pacific

To seek an injunction restraining the
commission from putting its order into

FURNACE EXPLOSION
in CHICAGO HOSPITAL
HEATING PLANT WRECKED
LIVES OF PATIENTS, NURSES
AND DOCTORS lMPERILED.

Chicago. Nov. S0-Dynamite in coal
is be wed to have been the cause OF
an explosion last night in the furnace
of the American hospital in which the
lives Of patients. nurses and doctors
Of the institution were imperiled.
The explosion, which wrecked the
heating plant Of the hospital, occurred
In the fire box OF the furnace shortly
after the janitor had filled 1t with a
fresh supply of coal
The explosion precipitated a panic
among the patients, many of whom at
tempted to flee from the building but
were restricted by nurses
Fire following the explosion was
quickly extinguished
The hospital authorities believe that
dynamite from the coal mine was in
the coal and they have ordered that
all coal in the bins be taken back TO
the company from which 1t was pur-
chased.
AS soon as the extent of the damage
to the hospital was ascertained doctors
and nurses succeeded in quieting the
alarmed patients, many of whom were
recovering from surgical operations.
None were seriously injured
