The residents for a ra dius of several miles Wore warned to leave their homes and remove to a safe distance, as it looked for some time as if no power could prevent tho great tank from blowing up To pre -vent the explosion the great waste pipes were opened tbongb it was known to be a desperate undertaking, but it was considered the only plan whioh might ward off an explosion, the re sult of which - would be one of the greatest explosions ever occurring in the confines ol the United States A large district adjacent to the scene of the fire was almost depopulated. Mer ohants left their stores and goods only stopping to take whatever valuables tboy could carry in their arms. Fortuuately the effort was suooeBsful and the large storage tank was saved.

The effects of the explosion ofthe gas tanks was snflicleut to shatter all the glass for a dittanoe of nearly a mile around the store house.
