JERSEY Cry, N. j., May AT a
quarter to II o o'clOck. last night, one of the
most terrific explosions that has ever oc-
CURED took place on the Jersey City Pail
sades. The explosion occurred at the ma
game of the Delaware and Lackawanna
and Great Western railroads, in
which were stored the giant powder
and nitro-glycerine used for blast
ing in the Bergen Tunnel. The maga-
zine was situated on the immediate
brow of the Palisades. About 500 houses
more or less were damaged Where the
magazine stood there was basin shaped
excavation, fully twelve feet across, and
capable of holding two or three hundred
people. Not q particle of building material
could be found. The nearest houses were
some trst-class residences on the west side
OF Palisades avenue, some four hun
dred feet distant. For radius of two
miles reports came in that dwellings
and buildings had been more or less danl-
aged, and the majority had windows
destroyed. The damage will amount u
many thousands of dollars. The cause Of
the disaster is not known. but it is thought
TO be the work of the tunnel strikers and
rioters. Two of their leaders were up
yesterday before the police justice for lead
ing riots on Tuesday last, and were held
for trial
