GAS EXPLOSION

SPECTACULAR UPHEAVAL IN
NEW YORK EXPLOSION SENDS
STREET CAR INTO AIR.

New York, March 9.-Nearly a score
of persons were injured and shaken
up this Vafternoon when a twenty
Third street cross-town street car in
which they were passengers, was toss
ed several feet into the air by the eX'
plosion of a gas main in Fifth avenue
The explosion and a series Of other
blasts which followed in quick sue
cession, rocked the neighborhood
broke glass in office buildings for a
block in all directions and caused a
sheet of flame to shoot high in the
air for hours.
Fire Chief Kenton and two of ms
men, speeding to the fire, were caugh'
by the heaviest explosion of the series
and the front of their automobile was

lifted from the ground as the crossed
Twenty-Third street. A shower Of
shattered asphalt, lnmber and paving
blocks fell into the automobile,
Broken Water Main Blamed.
There had been a flood in Twenty
Third street, caused by the breaking
of two big water mains early in the
day. This had washed away the sup
porting soil between the gas main and
the roof of a connecting branch OF
the Seventh avenue subway eNcava-
ton. The strain brought leak in the
mains and "A spark caused by the start
ing of the street car which had halted
at Fifth avenue, brought about the eX-
plosion.
At the point where the explosion oc-
Cured is the new subway excavation,
rooted in by heavy two-inch planks.
Fifteen feet below the surface are
the gas and water mains. A few hours
before the gas explosion a twelveinch
water main burst and this was follow
ed soon after by the bursting of a
twenty inch main. The water flooded
the neighborhood, pouring over the
sidewalks half way to Sixth avenue to
the west and past Twenty-Second st,
| TO the south 1t burst down into the
subway excavation and flooded it thir-
ty-feet deep. The water supply for
blocks was cut off by the bursting
main. AS it tore its way through the
earth into the subway excavation, II
left a rty-eight-inch gas main un-
supported as it washed away the soil.
The main cracked and great quanti-
tiles of gas began to seethe up through
the earth. 1t is supposed large pock-
ct formed in the trolley conduit.
Lands on Rails Again.
The Twenty-Third street car, which
was over the point of the explosion
when it occurred, stopped on the west
side of Fifth avenue to take on some
passengers. When it started up there
was a flash of a spark from the con
tact rail in the conduit. A second Later
came the explosion directly under the
center of the car.
The car was lifted straight up IL
the air for several feet. When itcame
down. it was squarely on the rails
