TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF GIANT POWDER
AT THE BERGEN TUNNEL--NEw York, MAY
AT n quarter before eleven last night the
people of this city we're startled by an explo-
sion which shook the whole island of Dlanhat-
tan, blew out the glass all along West street,
and Sc ned like the simultaneous liring of
q thousand cannon. Thousands everywhere
rushed to the police stations to find out what
the matter was. All sorts of rumors were
current. Some thouglitit was an earthquake,
others had authenticated information that it
was an aerolite, others that steamship had
blown up, and a hundred other stories. After
telegI aphing in every direction all over the is
land it was soon discovered that the explosion
had ros occurred in New York, and investiga-
ion in a short time disclosed that it was in
New Jersey, at the new Bergen Tunnel, being
built by tie Delaware, Lackwanna and West
ern Railroad Company, through tie Bergen
Heights. At the hour named the magazine
used for storing ill., giant powder, employed
in blasting in the new tunnel, suddenly ex-
ploded with the most terrific and destructive
effects. The building was small one with
very thick brick walls, and stood somewhat
aloof from any other buildings. It was SO
completely destroyed that not even the small
est fragments of it could be found. The
effects of the explosion were very disastrous
Hundreds Of houses all along Jersey City
Heights the handsome residences of wealthy
business men of the city, were so shattered
and wrecked as to be ruined. The destruction
in this region is monrnfnl to contemplate. 1t
was as If an earthquake had suddenly desc
lated this beautiful locality. For miles around
the destruction was more or less complete, the
damage being estimated at hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. No lives however, were
lost, so far as ascertained. The explosion is
believed to be the work of some of the rioters
and strikers of the Bergen Tunnel.

More cottages are needed at Long Branch
that the owners can afford to rent for $500 or
5000 each. At Cape May and Atlantic City
there are many cottages of this description,
and they rent readily. To every city resident
who can afford to pay $500 or $4,000 for a
Summer residence, there are at least score
who cannot reach these figures, but who per-
haps are as anxious to spend Summer at the
sea shore as the rich man. Provision should
be made for those of moderate means as we'll
