The first explosion oc curred Immediately under the wholesale liquor house of Carl E. Fuchs , tOM South Fourth street , which stood directly over tbo sewer , nnd wns followed nn Instant later by an upheaval 100 foot farther east , across Third street , the latter completely wrecking the Iron Mountain railroad southern yards and extending nearly 1.03J feet to the very edfo of the river. < 5reut I'orco nt' the Kxjiloslon. At Fuchs1 liquor house the gas lifted up the basement and first lloors of the build ing nnd escaping let the wreckage fall back to the bottom of the slimy stream , leaving the second and third floors badly shaken but still in position. Scarcely hud the explosion occurred than tno police , flro and ambulance departments wcro summoned to the scene and the work of rescue bopun. Tbo llrst body to bo tniton from the wreckage of Fuchs1 store , tying on the bottom ot the sewer , was thai of Albert Mueller , barkeeper , who was doau nnd badly mangled by the explosion. Search for Fuchs , who \\ns known to bo in the store , was tnon pursued , but so far no trace of his remains has boon found. It Is , however , considered certain that the body is either In the wreckage nt that point or has Homed down ntm lodged ngamsi the debris falling into the suwcr at the pluce of the second upheaval. Tlin U'oiimleil. The wounded so for as known , uro : Mrs. J.

None of the injured sufforc.l seriously. The force of the explosion is shown by the fact that in.inboto caps , wciirhitiij 200 pounds each , were blown oil the entire length of the main sewer , which roaches west to Tenth street nud two blocks fur.her on tributary sewers. At present practically 1,000 feet of sewer Is an ojisn stream , smelling to heaven with its noisome lilth and gases. The yards of the Iron Mountain road nro so thoroughly torn up us to Interrupt trafllc in thai vicinity until the sewer can bo reuuilu And this , ns the structure is larco enough to drive two four-horse teams abreast in it , is a work of no small magnitude. The pecuniary loss cannot now bo estimated. Mrs. Timpo subsequently died of her in juries. Ttio following people wore also injured by the explosion : Kichard J.

When the contract for the Columbia was lot , hi October , 1SOO , the Cramps agreed to produce u vessel which would sail arounu the world without rccoalinc in 100 days.
