L. Brockm an, P ortland, injured about the eyes, b u t not seriously. The cause of the explosion is more or less shrouded in m ystery. [W hat is considered as the only p lausible e x planation is the pro b ab ility of w a te r in the boiler being low and cold w a te r turn ed in, resu ltin g in th e explosion. Mr. E a st had gone into th e base m ent, a ttra c te d by risin g steam , and it is th o u g h t he may have turned the cold w a te r into th e boiler. H is con ditio n w as such follow ing th e accident th a t he could give no explanation. H is in ju rie s seem to preclude little possibility o f his su rviving.
