OH Cry, September 1G = A special to
the Derrick dated Bradford, Pa, 18th, says:
Between l2 and o'clock to-day q maga-
zine containing twenty pounds OF nitro
glycerine and seventy-fve pounds OF dyn-
amiie, located on the Curtis farm, two
miles south OF Bradford, exploded with
terrific force, instantly killing Andy p.
Higgins, J.P. Barkholder, n. B. Pulver,
and Charles S. Page. The mangled and
scarcely recognizable remainsoi thounfor-
tunate men were found at different points
about the magazine, and at distances from
II varying from fifty to one hundred feet
The cause OF the explosion is unknown.
Not one OF the party present is left to tell
the tale. On the night OF August Sth bur.
glars endeavored to open the magazine by
inserting glycerlno into the look and firing
It with q fuse. The attempt failed and the
explosive remained in the lock. Last
Sunday night, September sth, another
attempt was made to burglarize the safe
aud aisarrange the lock. Pulver and his
friends were trying to open the safe, and,
it is supposed, fired the glycerine in the
lock. The accident created o profound
sensation, and hundreds Of people have
visited the sickening scene. Fragments
OF flesh and shreds OF clothing were strewn
over the ground. uJ5S5 ttE5a5s p
