STOREROOM BLOWN UP.
ONE MAN KILLED AND MANY HURT IN CHATTANOOGA EXPLOSION.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 2. -- A terrific explosion occurred in the yard storeroom of the Cincinnati Southern railroad shops here, killing one man, fatally injuring another, and at least half a dozen others were badly hurt.
The storehouse was entirely destroyed, the coaling station badly damaged, several cars burned, and the windows in the offices and for some blocks around were broken by the force of the explosion.
The explosion shook every building in the city, causing the greatest alarm. The caue of the explosion is a complete mystery.
