A despatch from Berlin says -At
'7.20 on Tuesday evening the citizens of
the Town of Berlin startled b
ern were sarey a
loud report, and on investigation it was
found that the Gas Company's works
had been blown up, killing Mr. Aldrich
and badly burning Mr. E. Carl Breithe

pany, and Mr. Weller te workroan. Ow-
in- to the combustible nature of the

to quell the flames. eV cry for help
was heard, and. when the firemen dir-
ected a stream in the direction of the

Senna it vvas found that Mr. Aldrich
was pinioned between the briok wall
and the tank, with a pile of burning
boards on top of thine but when( they
reac,hed him he was burnt beyond re-
cognition. Two heroic firemen risked
lives to save Mr. Aldrich, while

It is impossible to say how the ex-

whieh is believed to be the correct one,
is that one of the Ince had a lighted

head on the hard stone pavement, Al-
though badly shaken, he was not ren-
tiered 'unconscious, and, with assist-
a,nce, was a.ble to walk. to the idetho-
dist book -room, over which his office
is situated. While waiting for Dr. Bar-
•
rick, who had been called by telephone,
the sufferer lost consciousness. and re-
mained in that; state, (teepee all the et-
orts of the doctor, who found (.bat a
blood ve,ssel of the brainlad been rup-
aired; and that there was almost no
chance whatever for recovery. The

ber of the House of Industry Board for
many years.
