DEATH AND HAVOC I IN GAS EXPLOSION Workmen V."ere L >r. 1 .a Ruins of TOUR DEAD AN J MANY INJURED Chit ago, Nov. 19. ? Four p. rsons | were billed and a score of others were injured by a series of gas explosions t.ial complicity destroyed the plant of the Pyle .lieetric Headlight com- j pany in South Chicago. The shocks of ? the explosions were sw severe that all the buildings near yie demolished i plant were badly damaged, windows were shattered for blocks and persons . walkin g in the streets were thrown off their feet. Over pressure on tanks con taining gas is believed to have caused I the accident. The dead are: Ralph Wells, super- | intendent for the Pyle National Elec tric Headlight company; Amos Wat kins, assistant superintendent; George Muehl and Thomas Jennings. The fatally injured are: William M. j Maloney, blown from third floor of tiie j building, body crushed; Alfred Cox. ; internally injured. Many persons who were walking in the street near the plant were hurt by J flying pieces of debris and were taken j to their homes in carriages before : their names could be learned. All of the dead were buried under tons of burning timber and hot bricks and iron, making it Impossible to re move their bodies for hours after the accident occurred. Firemen poured ; water on the portion of the building in which the dead were thought to be, until the flames were subdued suffi ciently to permit of the four dead bodies being removed from the debris. One of the victims was blown through a wall and 100 feet away from the building in which he was at work. He was fearfully crushed, but may live. The scene of the explosion is the old Hyde Park gas plant, which passed into the hands of the People's Gaslight and Coke company several years ago with tho consolidation of the gas inter ests in Chicago. Through lease, Lhe big plant is occupied partly by the Pyle National Electric Headlight com pany. This illuminant is forced into small tubes, which, placed under the floor of a car, will supply it with light for months. In order to make this possible, the retorts are submitted to an extremely high pressure. It was such a tank that caused the first ex plosion. Without warning of any kind it burst. Amid the debris workmen were blown out of the structure far into the street about the building. Be fore any one realized what had hap pened, retort after retort exploded in such rapid succession that it was al most impossible to distinguish the de tonations. There were nine such ex plosions in all, which left the plant in flames. Hard fighting on the part of fully 100 firemen finally subdued the flames. The total loss caused by the accident is estimated at $75,000. Fourteen Dead In Mine Explosion. St. Paul. Minn.. Nov. 19.?A Fernie, B.
