On West Main street, west OF
BLACK Rock bridge, people ran out
OF their homes in their excite

OF the disturbance.
On Linwood street people felt
their houses shake and many rush

see big explosion outside.
So far as can be ascertained the
current OF shocks seemed to extend
north as far as Commercial street
and south Of Shuttle Meadow ave

many that it could not have been
the result OF a blast. At the office
OF superintendent b. II. McElhone
