An open can of powder resting against the foot of the tree, was accidentally ignited, presumably by the ashes from a cigarette, and the explo- sion which ensued bruised the boy considerably. One foot was torn nearly in two, his coat was burned off, and he was more or less hurt gen- erally. He was conveyed to the hospital. C. T. Warren, who was sitting on a bench against the wall of the Exchange building when the explo- sion occurred, was badly cut about the head by falling glass f-rom the second story windows. Pat Kelly, of Rincon, was badly powder burned and shook up but not badly hurt. In all nine persons were more or less hurt, not counting Mr. Walcott.
