THUNDEROUS EXPLOSION
THIRTY WINDOWS BROKEN IN MELBOURNE HOSPITAL WOMAN BADLY CUT BY GLASS Reed. 9 a.m. MELBOURNE, Today. Thirty windows of the Melbourne Hospital were smashed and a woman attendant was badly cut by flying glass when an explosion occurred in an underground electric-cable tunnel. A manhole cap was blown 150 feet in the air. The roar of the explosion was heard all over the city. Flames burst from the tunnel, and the steel cover descended on electric-light wires, bringing them to the ground. Spontaneous combustion is believed to be responsible for the explosion.
