The Earth TrembIed.

WnMINGToS, DEI., October TO- = Fifty
tons of giant powder exploded at the works
of E. l. DaPont de Nemours Company. on
the Brandywine, five miles from Whining
ton, on Tuesday Five different magazines
exploded il rapid succession. Nine men and
one woman were killed, while many Others
were injured. Fifty houses, occupied by
the workmen and their families, were COM
pletely wrecked. The explosion is believed
to have been caused by a workman who was
soldering the covers on kegs of powder. The
conclusions were distinctly felt as far north
as NorristowD, in this State and in Trenton,
in New Jersey.
Great barns were lifted from their foun-
dations, immense trees were uprooted bodi-
ly and carried across fields, and the earth
was blown up and sent flying like
a shower Of yellow mud over everything
for miles about. There is scarcely all object
left standing within radius Of 500 yards 0
the centre Of the explosion, while there is
scarcely pane Of unbroken glass in any
Louise within three miles.
