TERRIFIC DISASTER.
Explosion at the Dupont Powder Mills
Horrible Scenes of Death.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Oct. "A terrific
explosion, resulting in the loss Of several
lives, the injuring Of many people, and the
destruction Of much property, occurred this
afternoon at 3:2J O'clock in the upper yard
OF the extensive powder works Of Dupont,
DenemOurs 4 Co., on Brandywine creek,
three miles north Of this city. The shock
was keenly felt here, and caused il tense eX-
citement. Buildings trembled, and win
dows were demolished. Instantly every
body, almost, rushed to the doors 10 ascer-
tain the cause Of the disturbance.
CANNoN-LIKE REPORTS.
There were six reports resembling the
booming OF the cannon, and about a second
apart. More than One-halt OF the window
sashes of the Methodist church, two miles
from the powder works, were blown out.
and Of those that remained the glass was
broken. The yard in which the mills stood
was Uttered with debris of fallen buildings.
and at some places where buildings had
been, the only trace lett was empty cellars
and few stones.
VILLAGE DEMOLISHED.
The little village Of Duponts Banks, inn
mediately outside the powder yard, pre-
sented most pitiable appearance. \

rooted, and fronts OF houses were blown out
and wrecked. Inside the dwelling the de-
yastation was complete. The rooms on the
ground floor was strewn with broken
crockery, crushed stoves, and rem
nanls OF household furniture. The soda
mills. a large stone building, about two
hundred yards from the magazines, is
wrecked. The roof Of the charcoal mills
fell. and the buildings themselves took fire
| from the furnaces. Effective use Of the fire
apparatus at the works soon eXtinguished
| the fires. Where the corning and
packing-house stood there were holes IN
the ground ten feet deep. The large
storage magazine, containing several tons
OF powder, and built of corrugated iron, il
situated about a quarter Of mile from the
wrecked mills. 1t, with another smaller
mill, escaped; also the glaLing-room and
press-roOm. Four of the DupOnts and sey.
eral clerks were in the office when the ex
