Tarrytown, N. Y., Nov. 26. — John D. 

 Rockefeller was aroused from his 

 sleep early today by the explosion 

 of a boiler in one of the large green- 

 houses on his estate here. Servants 

 were dispatched to find out what had 

 caused the loud report, and when Mr. 

 Rockefeller learned what had hap- 

 pened he went back to bed. 



.Many valuable plants and flowers 

 were destroyed by the explosion. A 

 watchman in the building at the time 

 barely escaped injury.
