Shattered and Floor in
Rear of Office Raised
Four Inches by Shock.

seemed so when the oil burner on
the furnace in the basement under
the printing office blew up at 4:30
o'clock Thursday afternoon Three
explosions occurred. The first lift
ed the floor in the rear of the Of
flee about four inches and shatter-
ed the glass in the display window.
The second blew out the plate
glass window in Gascoigne and
Fyfe's office, just as crowd be-
gan to view the remains Of the
printing office plate glass. De-
spite the great mass of broken
glass, no one was injured. The
third explosion was small one
and did no visible damage.
The fire engine, with siren go-
ing, tipped up the street a few
minutes after the alarm was turn
ed in and put the fire out. Great
volumes of smoke belched into
both offices and discolored the
walls.
At the time of the first explos-
ion, Harold Whittemore, linotype
operator, was on top of ladder
in the back shop, adjusting a belt
on the newspaper press. The lad
der shimmied, but being jammed
against the wall, did not fall. Carl
Cady, pressman, rushed back to
Whittemore's assistance just to be
in time to stand directly over the
second explosion.
The heating plant is used to sup
ply heat to all Of the Hover bloclf.
The ignition system Of the ell burn
er shorted and caused the explos-
ion, according to T. C. Browne who
is in charge of the building. De-
spite the damage done, it was
