Force of Explosion Is Felt for Several Miles—Only 3 Known Survivor Providence, R. I, Aug. 9 (P— ieorgio was blown through the roof of his fireworks factory in Bristol ana killed this forenoon when the factory explod- ed, killing as well Georglo's wife and Leigi Tumbarro, an employe. James Georgio, anather victim of the explosion, died at the Rhode Island hospital here this afternoon, Three Buildings Destroyed The factory was razed and iwo joining houses destroyed by fire, Windows were attered for nearly half a mile about the factory and the eplosion was heard for several miles. Thomas Georgio, son of the manufacturer, is the only worker known to have survived the blast. He was still hysterical this noon and it could not be learned how many persons were working in the estab- lishment, Three More Missing In addition to the known dead three are missing. They are Mrs, Manue! Pichico and two children. The concern is the Bristol Fire- works company plant, on Wheeler avenue, about one mile and a half from the center of Bristol. It blew |up at 11:10 o'clock this morning with a terrific blast which shook the entire town, shattered two houses In the vicinity and smashed win- dows in buildings a mile away Details Are Meager No detalls of the blast could be learned by the police shortly after noon today as the only person be- lieved capable of describing the explosion and its cause is the son of the factory owner, who somehow got out of the building, whether be- fore or after the explosion is not known. He is incapable of talking, his nerves being shattered by the experience of his narrow escape from death, Tumbarro is Geergio's son-in-law. ‘Whether there were any others in the building who still are unac- counted for is not known, for all efforts of the police to gain in- formation which would guide them at the scene of the disaster were unavailing. Confusion Seizes City Indescribable confusion seized the city after the blast, when no sooner had the echoes of the explosion died away when the factory and the two adjacent houses burst into flames. Fire apparatus was rushed to the scene. Every doctor in Bristol an- swered the emergency calls, while Rev. Thomas F. Kelley, curate of St. Mary's church, rushed to give the last rites of the church to the victims, There was no warning forthcom- ing before the blast. Persons walk- ing on State street, a short distance away were thrown to the ground by the force of the explosion, while & mile away two workmen on a stag- ing at the Walley school were toksed to the ground. James Georgio, second son of the proprietor, was rushed to the Rhode Island hospital here with severe in- Jjuries. He is unconscious and the’ hospital authorities hold out little hope for his recovery. Others Are Injured An unidentified woman was treat- ed by Dr. Albert M. Merriman and a boy, passing the factory when the blast occurred, was burned severely on his left arm. Mrs. Henry Sylvia, living near the plant, was cut on the right arm and suffered from shock and her daugh- ter Elizabeth was cut on the back of her neck. The Sylvia home is about 300 feet from the fireworks factory. Two plate glass windows in the Belvidere hotel, more than mile away, were shattered The factory building. a one-story structure which formerly had heen a |a barn, was flattened by the blast and the fire which followed Herman Broderick, 14, of Rristol, the only eye-witness to the tragedy who could be located, said he was place when he ard a “"bomb” go off. “I saw a boy and a girl fall down," he said. “and then 1 noticed that my blouse was burning. T tore it off and threw it away, then T went to a lady's house and she put some butter on my arm. “Before the explosion I heard a man shout inside the factory. I saw a boy (referring to Thomas Georgio) standing in the doorway of the factory, He shouted and then ran away. More than 26 persons were either injured or suffered from shock as a result of the blast. Tho emergency unit of the Amer- fean Red Cross, recently organized in Bristol, asisted in the relief work and a grape arbor near : scene was used as u rempo |palrs It was feared that five lives were lost. the disposal of the case i this man- ner, morgue where the three bodies laid for {dentification.
