YOUNG HUBBARD.
He is Resting Comfortably, but is Not Out
of Danger.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, February 25.-
Young Nelson G. Hubbard, the Wesleyan
freshman, who is now at the New Haven
Hospital, was resting more COMFORTABLY
this afternoon, but has suffered much pain.
The chief danger now is OF bis having per.
itonitis from the wound in his abdomen.
While the physicians are hopeful for his
recovery, it will be several days probably
before there is any change in his condi-
tion, either for better or worse
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. P. Hub
bard, of Wheeling w. Va, arrived here
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Hubbard has
been at her sons bedside ever since they
came, notwithstanding the long journey.
She will stay and nurse him while he re-
mains in the hospital
Professor Rics and several members OF
the Wesleyan faculty and classmates of the
injured boy came over to-day to see Hub
bard, but the physicians will not admit
any one but his parents to the bedside.
The faculty are looking upon the affair
much more leniently than had been sup
posed. They believe that the whole bus
iness was simply an attempt to keep up
the old college custom OF celebrating
Washingtons birthday, and although the
results were serious they were not in
tended.

ELEVEN GIRLS KILLED
AN EXPLOSION IN A SQUIB FACTORY
CAUSES A DISASTER.
Without Warning the Victims are Hurled Into Eternity
Mourning in the Little Town Of Plymouth,
PsnDsylvania-Oauseo Of the Ezplo-
sion Still Mystery.

WnKEsBARRE, PA, February 25.-
Back Of the Gaylo shaft, at Plymouth, 8
few miles from here, stood the factory Of
John Powell, used for the manufacture Of
squibs, used by the miners in looeeniuq
coal in the mines. The factory employed
eighty-four girls, ranging from 10 to 2C
years, and several male workmen. While
the majority of the girls were at their
homes eating dinner the people were
startled by the deafeniDg thunders
of a terrific explosion. They rush
ed terror stricken to their doors
and windows and in tho distance saw
clouds of smoke ascending from the squib
factory. Soon large crowd had gathered
around it. The braver of the men, when
the smoke and flying debris had settled,
rushed among the ruins and one by ono the
bodies were found and taken out, charred
beyond recognition, bleeding aud man.
gled The killed so far as known are:
KATE JONES, aged IS;
MAGGIE LYNCH, aged 81;
HETTIE JONES, aged Is;
GLADDIs REESE, aged 10;
MARY WALTERS, aged II;
MAGGIE RICHARDS, aged II;
MARY A. LAKE, aged II;
RUTH POWELL, aged 10;
ESTHER POWELL, sRed 22;
JANE ANN THOMAS, aged 16.
CHARLOTTE HUMPHREYS, aged II.
John Powell, the proprietor, was badly
injured.
At the msiu entrance to the factory, the
remains of five of the girls were found
They evidently must have made an effort
to get out sfer the first explosion but
were caught in the debris bsfore they could
reach the door. Not one of the girls was
recognizable Some bad their heads blown
off; Others their arms, and a majority were
minus both legs and arms.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery.
Powell Gays the squibs piled in box must
have exploded from spontaneous combus-
tion. He Gays he never allowed any large
quantity of powder in the building. When
powder was wanted ii was taken from the
magazine 100 yards away. Experts, how
ever, claim that there must have been
powder in the building or the force of the
explosion would not have besn so great.
There were three stoves IN the building.
1t is stated that on several occasions the
girls, in order to have a little fun, would
place powder on a stove "just to see it
shoot off"
The little village of Plymouth is covered
with pail of gloom. Its inhabitants are
overwhelmed with grief, and as yet no
preparation has been made for the last sad
rites of burial
