The letter Of your Williamsburg cor

AN AWFUL OCCURRENCE.

I hardly know how / can describe the
awful occurrence. ] am still dazed from
the effects Of the shock. ! WAS visiting a
friend near Kings Mills and, during the
afternoon, sauntered up the road TO the
cartridge -factory. inspected 1t thoroughly
and chatted with some Of the wOrhmeu for
unite awhile When the freight train came
along | started toward NY friend house,
which j. over the hill overlooking the
works. On reaching the top Of the hull
turned around lust As the freight train was
making a running switc 10 side-track: L
saw "a brakeman on one Of the cars as they
shot on 20 the side-track. and he was
waving his hand TO some one on the train.
As looked saw two detached cars bump
against what supposed was an empty car
on the side-track.
THE GROUND SEEMED TO OPEN.
An instant later there was "a rumbling
noise. and then the very ground beneath
me seemed TO open. saw pun OF smoke,
followed Il second later by another and
the cars disappeared. Station and powder
house and dwelling seemed 10 follow, and
the work of destruction had only Just
commenced. All this occurred quicker
than | relate il. and stood rooted TO the
ground. had an idea, of course. of what
had occurred. but / could not realize 1t. |
knew that many lives We're going out, but
| was powerless to lend any assistance.
FRANTIC MEN AND WOMEN.
Then dense volumes of fame aud smoke
came pouring from the doors and windows
of the cartndge-factory. and ! saw men,,
women, and children tearing at eacn other
in their frantic endeayors to escape. The
explosion and fire at the cartrldge-house
seemed TO be simultaneous. The building
did not catch on fire in the ordinary way,
but flames seemed to penetrate the doors
and windows from all sides. saw num-
Der of women come out, but some certain
" persisted in the flames. The dwelling
house below the cartridge-house was
blown from its foundations and dashed TO
the ground. In this building a mother and
child lost THEN lives. How long stood
do not know, but | managed TO make NV
way to the scene and Others IN the
neighborhood were also gathering.
THE SCENE MOST AWFUL.
The scene was ono of the most awful
ever witnessed. The railroad tracks were
| twisted and torn like SO much paper
and the telegraph poles and wires were
| burned like so much finder. a carload OF
coal about sixty feet distant caught hre
and burned up. We got TO work as soon
as possible. and | know we got fully a
dozen women and men from the powder,
| house. There was not one but was injured
or bruised. They seemed to be oblivious
of surroundings and | do not think they
realized what had occurred.
SOME BURNED; SOME CUT AND BRUISED.
Some were burned and Others were cut
| and bruised by the force of the explosion.
| To add to the terrible scene there was a
constant swapping of cartridges and the
rescuers were in danger of beng killed at
any time. / do not want another such
experience as long as live hope | may
never witness another such catastrophe.
| ! don't know how many were killed, but
am of the opinion that ten at least lost
their lives. The number OF wounded will
be double that number.
