New York, after a lengthy debate on the
question of admitting women as delegates to
the conference, on Monday decided that they

PuTsBuRCB, November 5.-There was an
explosion OF a nitro-glycerine magazine near
.hamokIu, Pa, an oil town, twelve mile.
from here, ut an early hour this morning.
The magazine belonged to the Torpedo Com
pany OF Delaware. The explosion was ter

The house, and sh3nties were scattered M
the immediate vicinity. Al Zwickly, five
miles distant, the shock was so heavy that
pcoplo ran panic-stricscn from their houses.
Itwasr reported that large number %; persons
had been Killed, but II i now believed no
one was hunt, although nothing definite Is
known.

The cause Of the uitrO-gb cerine explosion
is mystery. 10 is supposed, however,
that a tramp who wss seen I'm the neigh
borho0d yesterday, being ignorant OF the
danger. IN some way agitaled tns ftuH and
the explosion followed. There were between
two and three tons Of glycerine IN The maya
zine, aud the conclusion shook the very
foundations of tho houses between Roches-
ter and Pittsburgh. The earth was torn up
for n distance OF i've hundred yards. Trees
an eighth OF a mile away were rent asunder
and many houses were wrecked. The resi-.
dences OF George and William Wilson and
Thomas Mccoy, situated half q mile away,
were completely shattered and the occu-
pants thrown through the windows. They
were not seriously injured anj rs far as can
be ssccriained no one was killed, with tue
possible exception Of the tramp. The loss
will lie heavy, but cannot now be estl-
mated.
