A Fearful Explosion of Powder
at the Dupont Works in
Delaware.

Wilmington, Del, October s.
Several startling explosions in quick
succession-some counted five, Others
seven at $50 o'clock yesterday af.
ternoon announced to Wilmington
disaster at the Dapont powder works
on the Brandywine. A rush was
made for telephones, but nothing
could be learned beyond vague reports
of damage.
As soon as horsemen from here
could reach the works it was found
that the whole section OF the works
known as upper yard" was a COM
plete wreck, and at least twelve per-
sons were killed and twenty wounded,
while Rockland was complete wreck,
none of It's houses left standing.
Rockland is a village on the
Rrafa TTipaS"uxr a-roile above the
paper mill owned by the Jessup &
Moor company, about fifty dwellings,
in which chiefly reside the mill en-
ployes. Its population is about 200.
There were several reports resemb-
ling the booming of cannon and
about a second apart. The first
thought was that these had been an
explosion at the powder works, but
the reports seeming so near and not
being characterized by the usual
rumbling and there being no smoke
visible in the direction of the mills, it
was imagined that the explosion had
occurred in the city. The hazy at
mosphere hid the smoke and caused
the reports to sound differently from
those of preceding explosions.
Physicians summoned by telephone
and hurrying toward the powder man
ufactory was the first indication the
public had of the exact location of the
catastrophe. Immediately thereafter
thousands OF people went to the scene
of disaster.
At the scene of the disaster women
and children, wives and sons and
of men employed in the
powder mandatory, were rnadly
rushing here and there seeking infor-
nation about the safety of their loved
ones. The yard in which the mills
stood was Uttered with the debris Of
fallen buildings and at some places
where buildings had been, the only
trace left was empty cellars and a few
stones.
1t is estimated that the loss can not
be less than $500, 900.
Fifty families are rendered home
less by the disaster and many were 50
dazed by the terrible events Of those
few seconds "a to seem hardly con-
scious of where they are or what they
are doing. The injured are being
gathered into the hospital building
appertaining to the works and are
receiving such aid as they need.

The detectives who have been
tramping over Missouri hunting the
Otterville train robbers have at last
discovered another clew. A clew is
about all the average detective ever
discovers. His mission in life is to
look wise, talk mysteriously and wait
for somebody else to find the Grimm
ais. A county sheriff is usually worth
ten detectives. He cannot work up
as many clews for the newspapers as
the detectives. but he is very apt to
hunt down a criminal If left alone.
The average detective is only q
shrewd man in novels and similar
cheap literature. When one happens
to know . half dozen detectives his
opinion of their ability and honesty
is likely to receive q shock. They
can sneak around and "run down"
now and then q helpless woman, but
when it comes to such serious business
as capturing Q healthy train robber
they are not in it. As a rule, the
average detective is q fraud.-Jeffer.

however, had her way ard Martha

ing the night she got out of bed three
or four times and went out of the
house, and finally her grOaning
attracted the attention of
Mrs. Dirck. who went to the
bedside ofthe girl and asked her if
she was sick. She replied that she
wss suffering from an attack OF cholic.
Mrs. Dirck then gave her remedies TO
remove the pains and quickly dis
covered that something was wrong
and that the girl had told a wr5ng
story about her condition. Mr.. Dirck

to assist in taking care
of the unfortunate girl. Martha de-

A compliment paid by Rufus Choate
70 Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachusetts,,
happily illustrates Burke's pithy phrase,
The cold neutrality Of an impartial
Judge. with what judge, said Mr..
Choate, can you see your antagonist
freely oonversing, without the slightest
apprehension, Is YOU can with him.
Once during the trial of q case an emil
nent lawyer, associated with Mr.. Choate,
was rising TO contest an unfavorable, II
not an unfair, ruling made by the chief
Justice. ~Let it go.' whispered Mr.
-hoate, drawing him back. sit down.
Life, liberty. and property are always
safe in his hands.
Gracefully as these sayings cOmpll-
nent the impartiality Of one Of the most
upright Of Judges, they are not more ex-
pressive than one which was paid him
by sporting man, noted as an as
sistant in prize fights
The sport was a witness IN q muir
Ter trial. and during his examination
;he chief justice walked to the edge o.
the bench, and in a grave way, peering
over his spectacles, asked the witness
several questions. After the witness had
eft the stand he said to an officer Of the
court:
Did you see that chap that sot with
two other coves behind a little fence
.here in COURT mean the cove called
The chief:
@Oh, yes. you mean Judge Shaw,
said the officer.
That's him; but what glorious Teller
he'd make for a referee in q fight - said
the bruiser.
Daniel Webster did one Of the best
works of his life when he seated himself
in Lemuel Shaws office and spent sew
eral hours in persuading him TO relin-
ouish a lucrative practice 20 accept the
chief justiceship of Massachusetts,. Al
though its salary was so small as not 10
amount to one-third Of the sum which
Mr.. Shaw earned yearly by the practice
Of his profession he yielded TO the sense
Of duty aroused by Mr.. Webster argu-
ments, and for thirty years served tho
commonwealth by administering justice.
The Constitution Of the United States
and the constitutions OF the states are
peculiar in this, that without expressly
authorizing the judiciary to pass upon
the validity of the laws enacted by the
legislative authority, they place the
courts in such a position Of complete IN
dependence that the judges have as
sumed and exercise the right to pro
nounce one law constitutional and an
other unconstitutional
The fact that after a century Of this
method Of governing through the judlci-
airy the people still reverence the courts.
and especially the supreme Court of the
United States, indicates the wisdom Of
our ancestors and the moral influence of
~the cold neutrality Of an impartial
judge.
