How the Horror Occurred.
While a train of napVitha cars was
being switched in tho Slutradea y.arda
j . v
of the Panhandle railroad tlie rear ear
telescoped a car forward. The leaking
naphtha Ignited from a switch
light, causiivi an explosion which
threw the flames 20 feet high. Much
of the escaping naphtha ran through
Corks run to Esplenhorough, a distance
of 1^ miles, and caused another
explosion, blowing to atoms the Seymour
hotel and the Collins house, on
River road, and badly wrecking a
frame building near by. in which were
congregated 200 or more men from
Pittsburg audi vicinity betting on the
races and baseball. Few of the occupants
of tlits building escaped injury,
many being bfully hurt.
The first ear of naphtha exploded
about 4:40 -o'clock and the spectacle
soon attracted a luige crowd on tho
streets, lingering on the hills on both
sides of and parallel to the railroad.
The second car exploded about fi
o'clock, but it was 0:15 o'clock when
three more, cars of too deadly stuff
went up Afllh a roar that could ho
hoard for miles before the work of
destruction really began.
A torr?nt of ilame helened forth on
each side of the track, sweeping hack
the terrified spectators like a charge
of artillery and sending a shower of
flame over their heads.
There was an nvr/ui hush for a mo
mc-nt, then followed n scene of frenzy.
Men and wonirn, their clothing
ablaze, their faces fceordhcd and blls- .
tered, and their haift- burned off their
heads, ran hither and thither, only in- I
tent on escaping from the furnace of I
fire. Some gave vent to frenzied appeals
to kill them and put them out of
their misery, aiul tattle children with .
their hair and clothing aiire. cried pit- "
couslv .as they were swept along the
tide of burning humanity. (
All the Pittsburg ambulances were
immediately dispatched to the scene
with a corps of physicians. Many of
those not seriously mimed were removed
to their h?>nifis in Sheraden,
while others were sent' to the various
Pittsburg hospitals and the dead re- j
moved to undertaking establishments
in Sheraden a;ul vicinity and to the '
Pittsburg morgue. 1
The property loss will amount to at
least *000.000.

Lynched for Boasting of Killing Two '
White Men. J
Chattanooga. May 13.?News has ?
just reached here of the lynching of
Jim Underwood, a negro, at Decatur,

ing in of the door of ids room. A mob
of a score of men with blackened

meat that he was hanged because ho
