THE POWDER EXPLOSION.
A Property Loss of 800, ,ooo-Over
Thirty Employees Killed.

Property Loss of 800, ,OOO-Over
Thirty Employees Killed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. % The total loss by
the powder es plosion at West Berkeley yester-
day is $100,0G0. The giant powder works were
damaged $50 600 and the acid works of Jadson
q Co., $4,000. 1t is impossible to ascertain
the exact loss of life, but is is estimated be-
tween 80 and 40. The first explosion occurred
about O'Clock in packing house i'll which
about 200 pounds of powder were stored. AS
soon as the packing house exploded, num-
Der of Cinnamon in the other departments
fed for their lives and had reached he open
space when the mixing house exploded, killing
most of them in their tracks 1t is thought
that Feslonan Kompf, the superiDtenden ent,
was killed by this explosion. In about a
minute one eft the smaller houses exploded,
followed Immediately by fourth explosion
which doubtless killed the surviving employees
A workman Damed August Forgofsky was
very seriously Injured All the other white
men have been accounted for; the lead are all
Cinnamon. There were 80 10 40 houses on the
point occupied by emp Dyes, and most of their
windows were shattered and doors aud sides in
many instances dashed In by the conclusion.
After each explosion the wood work of The
building caught fire and burned STEADILY for
several hours Efforts to prevent the flames
reaching the main magazine containing an i'm
mense quantity OF powder were happily sue
cessfh. The consequences would have been
most frightful had the large magazine ex-
ploded. One of tho superintendents stated
that there is enough powder stored there to
have destroyed every living thing on the
peninsula.
The cause of the first explosion remains a
mystery. Twelve bodies were counted lying
in the debris, and the coroner's investigation
will probably disclose more than double that
number. A force of men was engaged all
bsdies.
e,rerday was the first Sunday in many
mouths that the works we're running in full
blast. Seventy tons were being loaded on a
schooner at the wharf. A driver with team
and load of powder on the wharf jumped when
the first explosion heard in,o The water
and escaped, when his load exploded The
wharf took fire aud burned rapidly. Hospitals
have been improvised ia undamaged houses
and the wounded cared for. Physicians have
come from Oakland and other towns This is
the most disastrous explosion that ever occur
red at these works.
