HAVOC WROUGHT BY DYNAMITE.
FIVE MEN BLOWN TO PIECES.
EXPLOSION IN A MAcAzrNE-rnE CAUSE UNKNOWN.

CONFLUENCE, Penn, .,SOct. 29.-A terrible disaster
occurred near Brooks Tunnel, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, yesterday morning about o'clock,
resulting in the instant killing of five men.
The railroad company has been strengthening and
widening the tunnel and some distance outside
magazine had been erected in which was stored
200 pounds Of dynamite TO be used for blasting.
At about the hour named freight train had just
passed through the tunnel and was put on the side
track to allow due passenger train to pass.
-Four of the hands of the freight train walked back
to the vicinity of the magazine and engaged in
conversation with the watchman when the people
living in the vicinity were startled by loud con-
cussion. Houses for fifteen miles around wero
shaken to their foundations, aud windows for dis
tance Of seven miles were shattered.
Horror-stricken, the people ran from their houses,
and upon investigation it was found chat the dyna-
mite had exploded with fearful effect Everything
in the vicinity gave evidence Of the terrible force
of the explosion Trees were uprOOted huge rocks
were torn asundcr. and telegraph poles for half
milo were prostrated. Nothing remained Of the
magazine, and the men who stood before it just be-
fore the explosion were missing. All must have
been instantly killed. Portions of bodies, including
legs, arms hand and heads, have been picked up
half mile distant but so badly disigured as to be
unacceptable. The victims are George Reynolds,
the engineers Charles Ticc, q faman Robert Robert
Hammond watchmGn W. A. Dean, tunnel placA-
smith and II. K. Burchticld, helper.
The cause OF the explosion is cnyeiOped IN mys-
tery. and as the five men who might have thrown
some light on the accident dead IL is probable
that the cause will never be known. Not far from
the spot a gun was found, and It Is supposed that
ono OF the victims discharged it, the conclusion
causing the dynamite 20 explode.
An inouest Was held to-day By the Coroner, and
verdict of accidental death was rendered. Great
excitement prevails here, and hundreds Of people
have gone to the scene of the disaster.
