Considerable excitement was Gre
a;ed ON Lincoln Park. In East Canon.

O'Clock this morning by a terrific eN-
p,osion in the direction OF Florence.

ateIy by a heavy volume of black
smoke rising high in the air. \ slight
'remor OF the earth was felt in many
places as result OF the explosion.
and houses were shaken as II by an
earthquake in various localities. A
score Of inquiries by telephone were
made at the Record Office as 10 the
cause OF the trouble. and much spec
uis,ion was induigcd in as TO the az
fair. In some quarters it was be
lieved that German espionage was

F-umors that n number OF people had
been killed.
An hour or so after its occurrence

entirely consumed by the FIRE that
followed. The tank. fortunately. was
empty. except for a few inches of
oil at the bottom. and the sediment

sathered on its sides siurinE years OF
use. The oil was taken out on Tues
day of this week and couple OF
xorkmen were set TO work there this
morning TO clean IL OF such accumu-
laiions as had collected there during
i;s long period of usage.
They opened the man-hole and had
started a pump to drain the tank when
the explosion took place. one OF
the men had his hands badly burned
but was not otherwise hurt. The
other man is understood TO have es.
capped without injury.
The property loss WIS considerable
