"oNLy A PUFF"
Another Explosion In the HRgely Yard OF
DuPont's Works.

DuPonta Works.
This morning at $40 o'clock the residents
in the upper end of this city were startled
| by terrific explosion, shaking houses and
rattling windows. puff of smoke in the
direction Of DuPont's works told the old
story of an explosion. What the result was
no one seemed to know, and nothing definite
could be ascertained this side of the yard.
There 1t was learned that the report was oc-
easioned by an explosion in one Of the small
rolling mills In the IIagley yard, known as
Patrick Tully's mill, Although the concus-
sion was loud one, those familiar with the
place designated IL as 'only puff" The
roof of the mill was blown oil and into the
Brandywine, but the damage win be repaired
In short time, q full force being put at
work at once. The cause of the explosion
is only snrmised. No one was hurt, but had
the blow-up occurred Is minutes later, hen
the change OF the night and day men Is
made, loss of life would undoubtedly have
resulted.
The rolling mills are at present operated
with wooden water wheels, and some of the
buckets leaking frequently causes the wheels
to stick until an overflow of the perfect
buckets sets them off suddenly. The quick
jar of the rolls In the mill with the jerky
start causes friction and strike Of fire,
thus causing an explosion. That is the
theory OF the frequent 'pufis," and danger
from that source is to be prevented by the
use of iron water wheels and the doing away
with the old wooden ones.
Daniel Dougherty, who was so badly
injured by the explosion on May 2 is
still in critical condition, aud while he
may live for some time he will never be In
any manner able to work again. He Ia
totally blind, and few days ago the wound
In his head opened and IL large splinter of
wood worked It's way out.
