The Biddeford Standard thinks the "De-
mocracy of Maine would do we'll to take
lesson from. the Democracy of Biddeford,
who always sleep on their arms, TO matter
how fair the outlook-and keep the camp
chest well replenished." We quite agree
with the Standard that the Maine Democ-
racy would "do well' If they followed its
suggestion. From all accounts the Bidde-
ford crowd have done well, very well. ex-
ceedingly well for quite number of years
past. And doubtless the camp chest is kept
well replenisheG, and will be as long as the
Democratic committee continue to shell out.
In course of time it would not be strange if
the Biddeford Democracy, or most of them,
should be able 10 retire on the strength of
the-camp chest.

Colonel Henry A. naPont Leads a rps
TO the Rescue.
After the explosion FIRE broke out in
the refinery and also some Of the houses.
At first there was great danger Of the
ruins being destroyed by ERE and the sick
and wounded, who in some instances
were lying around the debris, being
burned alive.
But the timely arrival Of Colonel
Henry A. DUPONT. who had himself
barely escaped from the company's office
with his life, aroused the men and led
them on to action
After q heroic struggle the FIRE was
put out. 1t was fierce fight. and the
men when once aroused, fought like de
mons to save the remnant of their homes,
their wounded wives and auffering daugl )
ters. some Of which lay dying among the
ruins.
A line Of hose kept for emergencies but
now for the first time brought into play,
in the hands of begrimed men who fought
with the strength OF lions for their
homes, their families and their wives,
checked the ravages Of what would have
been far more destructive to life than the
explosion itself. When the fire was
conquered, work Of searching for the
bodies began.

THE FATAL SPARK.

Location Of the Powder buildings The
Fate OF Grs en- and McGarvey.
The real cause Of the explosion will
never be sscertained, for no one who
knew it has lived to tell the tale,
The most generally accepted theory is
that it had its origin in one Of the mid
die magazines. This building, which
was one story structure, sixty feet
long, twenty FIVE feet wide and twenty
feet high, has been so completely swept
away that nothing remains to indicate
its existence except a deep trench and
heaps of blackened ashes
This building. which had tin roof,
was in the centre of the ruined district
and beside the Brandywine, whose waters
ran thick with mud, shingle and frag-
ments from the ruined mills.
Several thousand kegs of prismatic
powder, piled in long rows, one above an
other, aud reaching to the roof, were in
the western part of this magazine and
here, William r Green was seen before
the explosion, soldering tin covers on the
canisters, which had Just been filed. As
he would solder on the lid William Nc
Gsrvey. his assistant, would carry the
boxes away. These two were the only
workmen in this magazine at the time OF
the explosion. 1t was curious that
the bodies of these two, of
all those killed among the mills.
we're The only ones discovered of
thore killed in the magazine. and
il is stranger still that the body of Green
was but slightly marked He was found
ten wards from where he wrought, his
face blackeped and his clothes burned
A hole in bis breast was the only mark.
McGarvey, his assistants body waslmuet
more mutliated, his head was blown of
and found thirty yards from the western
end of the magazine. The trunk was
found twenty yards nearer the building

'tantly killed. He was blown 20 feet in

tstantly killed He was blown 20 feet in
The air.
John Harrigan was killed while at
work In one OF the upper mills. The
body was badly disfgured.
Martin Dolan was employed In the
Eagle magazine when the powder ex.
ploded. He was hurled upward with ter.
riole velocity and the building fell on
him killing hfm instantly. Mr.. Dolan
was one of the oldest employees of the firm.
he had been employed In the same place
for nearly fifty years and has had several
narrow escapes. One of these was
nearly miraculous. Mr.. Dolan was in
the grind mill when he saw a shark on
the rolls. He hurried around the corner
OF the building Just as an explosion
occurred and the roof Of the building
was blown into the river. The story OF
his presence of mind has been told often
on the banks but the hero OF 1t is no
more.
Patrick Dougharty was In the lower
magazine when the accident happened.
He arose at the first explosion and the
next instant lay upon the ground beyond
the magazine dead. The body was very
badly mangled.

DAY MUST HANG.
Convicted OF His wife's Murder by His
Sisters Evidence.

Sisters Evidence.
WE-LANn, Ont, Oct S. Early this morn.
ing the jury in the Day murder trial rem
dered a verdict of guilty and Judge RosC
sentenced Day to be hanged on Nov ~.
lhe prisoner took his sentence coolly. He
was charged with pushing his wife, Desire
Day off a precipice near the whirlpool
rapids near Niagara Falls, and was con-
victed upon the evidence of his sister, Mrs.
Mary +. Quigley, of Rochester.
She testified that she lived in Rochester.
On July 81 she went with the prisoner and
his wife to Niagara Falls via Buffalo.
They all had dinner at the Falls, and then
went over the river to the Canadian side
and went down the bank toward the
whirlpool.
Witness foot became sore and she sat
down to rest. The prisoner and his wife
wanted to see the whirlpool and they went
on. Witness saw them both near the
bank Mrs. Day was nearest the water.
When witness looked again Mrs. Day was
gone aud the prisoner was waving a black
handkerchief.
The witness here appeared to be faint
and took chair. When she had recovered
somewhat her examination was continued.
She said:
II went to the prisoner and he told
me- Here the witness broke down com
pletey aud cried piteously, bnt finally say.
ing. III must. must,r continued: "He
said he had pushed her over the bank, aud

another structure so feet long, 90 feet
wide, and 10 feet high. This was called
the upper magazine and 1000 kegs Of
powder were stored there. Fortunately
1t was la the end farthest from the mid
die magazine, for the nearer end OF the
building was tern away and the rest left
.uninjurea.
Equally. distant from the middle maya
zine aud n the other side was what has
been called the Eagle magazine. This
was frame building 20 feet square and
used as store house for sporting powder
The only thing that marks the spot whese
1t stood Is a dedp capernous hola. The
superstition Is that It and the upper
magazine were both blown up sat the
same instant.
Fifty yards to the southeast of the r agile
magaSine and 200 yards from the mil Idle
magazine stood the packing house \ his
building was 90 feet long and 25 f .et
wide In IL we're several Thousand ca n.
listers OF powder piled in rows upoa es, h
other It was utterly demolished an d
nothing remained but ashes under whie d
was somesbeavy timber
Many thought that the bodies Of som 0
of the workmen were buried hers but Il
was geners3ly thought that they had
been blown to atoms as portions Of bodies
found seemed to indicate.
Besides tie buildings already described
were a sedsshouse, a grinding mill and a
coal house. In the magazine it was said
that there were twelve tons Of powder
stored. besides that in the other mills,
making in all twenty tons that exploded
The powder manufactured in this
yard was prismRtic and of the highest
grade. It was manufactured solely for
the government for testing guus
