New York,
Sept.
16th.
A terrific
ex-
plosion which
rocked
all
the
lower
Man-
hattan
occurred
at
noon
roday
outside
the
offices of
Messrs
J. P.
Morgan
and
Coy.
on
Wall
Sireet.
Several
persons
were
killed and
many
injured.
Mr.
J.
S.
Morgan,
son
of Mr.
J.
P.
Morgan,
and
a member
of the firm,
was badly cut
by
falling giass.
Officiais
of
the
com-
pany
denied
first
reporis
that
a
bomb
had
exploded
in
the
Morgan
Build-
ing.
The
list of casuaities
at 12.30
was
reported
to have
reached
15 killed and
50
Injured,
but
an accurate
account
was
impossible
in the intense
confusion
that
swept
the
financial
distriect.
It
was
equally impossible
an
hour
aiter
the
ex-
plosion
occurred
to determine
either
its
exact
natwre
or
locatioa,
for spectators
were
held
back by ‘the
police.
Jt
was
reported
however,
-that
shortly before
noon
a motorcar
with two
men drew
up
in front of the offices, and that
when
the
Morgan
detectives approached,
one
man
alighted
and either
accidentally
or
pur-
posely
dropped
what
appeared
to
be
a
bomb.
Qccupants
of a skyseraper
looking
down on Wall Street
told another
version
of
the
story.
They declared
they
had
seen
the car
draw up and the
men
leave
it.
These
spectators
advanced
the theory
that
the bomb,
if it were
a
bomb,
had
been
timed.
This
version
differed
from
S
LRGN
A Nlk
the
first as
regards
the
two
passengers
and
taeirchaffeur.
Thefirst story- had
it that:they
were
among the
dead
or
injured.
Never in its hisggoi'y
has
lower
“Manbhattan witnessed
such excitement
as
prevailed
today.
Trading
on
both
the
Stock
and Curb Exchange
was
ordered
suspcnded
for
the
day
a
few
minutes
after
the explosion
ocearred,
and
from
then
on
lower
New
York
forgot
its
business
matters
in
attending
to
the
needs
of
the
injured.
Fire
apparatus
and
ambulances
dashed
through
the
nar-
vow crooked
streets
of the
finanecial
dis-
trict
on
which
lay a covering
of shat-
tered
gilass
and
the
broken
remains
of
horses
and
men.
Among
the
bodies
.were
those
of three
girls,
terribly
muti-
tated.
A
polie¢
cordon
was
hastily
thrown around
the
entire
financial
dis-
trict when thousands
hearing
the
explo-
sion,
flocked t 9 the tip of Manhaitan
Is-
land.
Police reports
at 12.33
had fifteen
dead.
Unofficial reports
had
30
dead.
The
United States
Treasury
immediate-
ly opposite
the
scene
of the
explosion
was pilaced under
heavy
police
guard
to
protect
the
millions
of dollars
of gold,
silver
and
paper
money
lodged
in
the
great
granite
structure,
later
in
the
midst
of
the
confusion
which
pre-
vails
about
the
scene
of
the
explo-
sion
no
one
seems
to
be
able
to
definitely
determine
the
cause
of
the
disaster.
Both
the
police
and
fire-
men
assert
that
up
to
the
presen
time
they
have
been
unabie
to
de-
termine
whether
the
explosion
was
the
result
of
an
accident,
or
the
work
of
.an
anarchist.
As time
pass-
ed
the
opinion
became
prevalent
that
the explosion
was caused
by
a small
wa-
gon containing dynamiie
coming in
con
tact with a passing
vehicle.
The
wagon
containing
the
high
expiosive
destined
to a nearby
axcavation
where
rock
was
to be blown out,
was blown
to pieces,
and
small portions of the
horses
were
in
evi-
dence
on
Wall
Street.
The
large
glass
dome of the Morgan Building fell in
and
created
havoe,
injuring many
employees
on the main floor.
The
main floor of the
Broad
Street
Hosnital
was
practically
a pooi of blood with the
walls
bespatter-
ed.
[t was estimated
by one of the
phy-
sicians at the Broad Street
Hospital
that
between
50 and
75
injured
were
taken
there,
with
more
being
brought
in
as
fast
as
ambulances
and
other
vehicles
could be pressed
into service.
