Large Gasometer on Harbor Street
• Exploded.
A despatch from Montreal says; Early
Saturday moaning Montreal was star-
tled as if by an earthquake, the result of
a terrific explosion caused by the Mow -
frig 'up or 500,000 cubic feet of gas. One
of the gasometers at theEashend station
of the Montreal Light, H'eat and Never
Company On Harbor Street, expioded
with a thunderous report, and the
Strarigeet part of L au es that not one
of the company's workmen was killed
cr Oven slightly injured. The gasorketer
is a total wreck. The Irola %mit is twist-
ed as if by some giant hand, and enDY a
p
ndhrige. --Hundr-eds.eot--thousand-e-lof
bricks are lying around. and aa have
fallen to the ground within a radius of
ten eardS of the outer wall of the gas-
holder. The conclusion therefore is that
the terrific force generated by tile lighted
pas must have shot directly upwards.
Had it done otherwiset low of eitz;
ou the other Nide of the street wouid
have been razed te the ground and their
eccupants'biown to atoms. The daringe
