Tho Fonberthy Injector oompany'e plant occupied half a square at tho oornor of Abbott strrol and Brooklyn avenuo. It was composed if two brink buildings, separated by a It! foot alloy. Tho rear building, in whioh tho boiler was looatod arid whioh was completely destroyed, was throo 9tories in ho ght, 54 fcot in depth and 100 foot wide. Tho boiler room was looatod at the northwest corner of tho building on tho first tljor. It wa3 in this building that most of tho nnnufaoturir g was dono.

Ihoso in tho front building said it seemed liko tho oonoussion of an immcneo cannon. Tho roof and floors of the roar building bulgod upward and thon crashed down with their heavy loads of machinery aid foundry apparatus. Walls, roof ano all dropptd into a shapeless mass of dobris. Windows in housos for a blook around wore brokon bv tho oon ou'sion. and flvinv hrioks fillod neighboring yards. A dense oloui of dusi aroso, and as it settled, and was Buoooeded by dcnaor olouda of srnoko and Btoaui, agonized oiios began to oomo from tho beap of tangled wood, metal and brioks. Those who wore only partly buried frantically dug thomsolvcs out, and then as onergotioally turned to digging for thoir o mrades who woro buried deepor. FLAMES HltOKF. OUT almost immediately aad tho horror of fire was added to tho Buffering of the imprisoned ones. A fire alarm was turned in and quick ly responded to. Calls wore sent out for all the ambulances in the oily and they woro hurried to tho soene. Pend ing their arrival, neighboring bousos were turned into temporary hospitals, and those physicians who wcro in tbo vioinity eased tho sufferers as muoh a< they were ablo. Tho first ambulances on tho socno woro totally inadequate to oarvy those who had already been ox traotod, and express wagons and similar vohioles wore pressed into service. As soon as tho gravity of tho aooi dent was realized oalls for additional firemen wc re sent in, and tho apparatus oamo flying to tho soene from all parts of tho oity. While part of tho firemen turned their efforts at the firo, which was burning fieiccly in tho oontre of the wreok, the greater number of them soizod ax- s and crowbars and began prying out tho viotims who oould bo aeon or whoso faint orios were audiblo The dopartmont of publio works was notified of tho horror and immediately sent all its availablo men and horsos to the soene. in a comparatively short lime, all tho laborera who oould work to advantage Were feverishly throwing and pulling ^j^^tjaie debris jnit ^in to Brooklyn avenue^ ?? i?f, cmw.ww ? u urn tig, I tm wnmrog ?.iu i ????

WHICH WILL WIN. Struggle Between Combinations of Governors and Railroads. Profound Interest is felt in tho threatened struggle between tho combination of governors of Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington and tho great railn ad combination oomponod of tho Groat Northern, Norihon Paoifio, Union Paoifio, Southern PaciBo, and tho Chioago, Burlington and Q linoy railroads. Tho governors of tho foregoing stater arc intrrostod in provonting a combination of only two of the roads in question. namely, tho Great Norihorn and tho Northoro Paoifio. Tboso roads are parallel linos, and traverse tho states which it is expeoted, will tako stops to havo tho railroad combination doolarcd unlawful. This railroad combination is tho biggent trust in tho world. It represents oapital amounting to $1,082,000 000? I $04,000,000 moro than tho United States Steel corporation, known as tho billion dollar trust' It is by no moans oortain that tho governors oan agreo upon tho oourno that ought to bt pursued in fighting tho railroad trust. It may be that all of their states haven't laws prohibiting tho consolidation cf parallel lines by railroads. If thoy haven't, and thoy oxpoot to have euoh laws enacted, tho ohanoes aro that thoy will suffer dofoat. Tho railroads aro poworful and influential and havo friends in tho legislatures.
