A. It was some place near the old City Hall—I should judge it was. It was in the street. I went from there up Liberty street until I met the fire. I couldn't state how far it was from the Union depot—how many squares it was; but I stopped at the first crossing below the last car that was on fire. I staid there until a car load of spirits exploded, and the flames ran down from there about a hundred feet.
Q. Where was this explosion—at what point?
A. It was on the railroad in a railroad car.
Q. What street?
A. It was on Liberty street—I should judge that was the street that the cars go out of. I am not well enough acquainted to state positively—it was on the Pennsylvania railroad.
Q. Was that on the Allegheny Valley track?
A. No, sir; on the Pennsylvania tracks.
Q. Near what cross street?
A. That I am not well enough informed to know, but I should judge it was four squares above the Union depot, right up the track.
Q. Four squares?
