NITRo-GLYOERINE EXPLOSION.
SrRArFoRD, Ont, May ga few min
utes before 10 to-day the whole town was
shaken as if by an earthquake. Windows
were blown in and sidewalks so moved that
pedestrians were thrown down. The cause
was that car laden with dynamite exploded
at the Grand Trunk freight yard. The
wreck beggars description. Underneath the
dynamite car hole several feet deep was
scooped out. The end of the brick freight
shed and portion of the roof were blown
down. Several freight buildings were lev
eled to the ground and long strings of
freight cars in the yard were utterly de-
stroYed. The business part of the town is
nearly mile from the scene of the explo-
sion, but it shared in the disaster. Valuable
plates glass windows were broken and many
others blown in. The damage done to prop
erty is estimated at many thousand dollars.
Two railroad employees, Frank Lorraine, of
Montreal, and Thomas Dowlan, of Stratford,
were blown into fragments. The feet of
one was found two hundred yards off.
Other persons were injured, but the extent
of the disaster cannot be known for some
time yet.
The car upon which the explosion &C.
Cured was freighted at Montreal for Am
herstburg and contained thirty packages
which were entered as blasting powder. They
were shipped on account of Vanderbilt to be
used at the Detroit tunnel. When the ex-
plosion happened the cars were being switch
ed in the yard. The damages will exceed
1926, 900. Gov. Hawkins, car dealer, had
both eyes put out by a splinter and is not
expected to live. Joseph Humphrey isIbad-
ly cut about the head and face but may re-
cover. Alfred Lamb and Mrs. Flynn are
badly injured.
