rOUn MEN DLOwN TO PIECES
Over 40 Other. Injured by Flying
Fragments.

A violent explosion occurred at Duponts
powder works at Wapwallopen, Pa, and
four men were instantly killed. The explo-
sion took place in the packing house. At
Nanticoke and Nanamie, chimneys toppled
from the roofs and school children ran in
terror from the schoolhouses. Men and
women flocked toward the miues, where they
thought the explosion happened, and where
the members of their families were at work.
AT Wapwallopen nearly every building was
wrecked. Beside the killed, over 40 persons
were injured. The four men were blown 10
pieces, and only small portions of their bodies
have been found. The cause of the accident
is not known, as all of those who
were in the burning building are dead.
None of the injured will die, their injuries
being slight, resulting principally from fly
ing fragments of glass The new Methodist
church at Wapwallopen, which was deli
Gated recently, and stood 500 feet from the
scene of the explosion, was completely

the foundation remaining Rocks weighing
100 pounds and more were blown to the top
of the mou ntain, quarter of mile away.
