The explosion rocked buildings, shattered windows and awakened sleeping residents of the neighborhood. Bells clanged, sirens wailed and the four seriously wounded factory—workers were carried to police patrol wagons and whisked down Broad Street to Samaritan Hospital. The Hospital had opened a week previously and as yet had handled only out-patients in its small dispensary. The night of February 5, 1892, therefore, proved to be an exciting initiation for the little building and its staff. Of the four men wounded in the explosion, only one died; the other three were discharged after a week’s stay in the new hospital. From the February 12. 1892, column “The Samaritan Hospital News,” -- a column printed regularly in “Temple Magazine” -- comes this observation by Dr. W. Frank Hachnlen, then Vice President of Samaritan’s Board of Managers and Medical Director of the Hospital: “All of us interested in this new charity feel thankful that wc were in a position to receive these cases. Had there not been a hospital in the vicinity of the accident, these poor, suffering men would have been taken to a distant hospital at a loss of much time, which in their cases, was of vital importance.” To Dr. Russell H. Cornwell, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, now known as The Baptist Temple, people were of vital importance. DK. RUSSKLL H. CONVVELL
