New York, Nov. '20. Probably twenty men were victims
of an explosion of a gas main at Front and Gold streets, Brook
lyn, today. The explosion tore the street to pieces, and the
men, who were working in an excavation for a big sewor, were
buried in the debris and are believed to have been smothered
by the escaping gas or burned to death by the fire which fol
lowed the explosion. Samuel Trout, who lived near the scene,
lost his life in attempting to save the life of a woman passing
through Gold street. Trout fell into tho trench and was caught
by the flames, being roasted alive. The woman was saved by
a boy.
The force of the explosion was folt for a great distance
and shook down into a fifty-foot pit where the men were
working hundreds of tons of earth. Those not instantly killod
were drowned by the great volume of water that poured in on
them from the breaking of water mains, or smothered by es
caping gas.
One woman and three children who were passing at the
time were killed.
