was nothing wrong. Only the day be-
fore the ammonia tank had been re-
paired and was pronounced by those
who are supposed to know to be In
good order.
1t was the ammonia tank that ex-
ploded.
With terrific force the great tank
tore its way through the ice plant and
shook the foundations of buildings for
an area covering manv blocks. The
shock was felt in the remote resi-
dence sections OF the city and caused
much alarm.
1t was 1905 o'clock when the ex-
pfosion occurred and the direct cause
will perhaps never be known. There
were none left in the boiler room to
tell the story. The only occupants OF
that department were found dead a
few moments after the catastrophe.
1t was a narrowing scene that
greeted those who venrured into the
wrecked building. following the ex-
pIosion. The fumes of the ammonia
were so strong as to be almost beyond
human endurance.

r1oyed by the ice company, and who
was one of the first to reach the scene,
staggered through the debris. half
overcome by the escaping steam and
reached the stop cock.
CROWDS GATHER.
1t was but a short time before the
news of the explosion spread through
out the city and by midnight the
streets were thronged with sight
seers. So strong were the fumes from
the ammonia, however, that few ven

the heat from the boilers that It was
several hours before the bodies OF the
four victims could be reached.
CLEARING AWAY DEBRIS.
All yesterday morning, from the

gagged in clearing away the debris.

of brick and torn machinery. As the
day wore on the spectacle became

MANY INQUIRIES.
In a few minutes after the explosion
hundreds OF inquiries came to The
Journal Office seeking information as
to the extent of the loss Of life and
the damage to the ice plant. There
were several who had relatives con-

they were greatly perturbed until they
