THAWING COLD DYNAMITE
THE EXPERIMENT RESULT.
ED FATALLY.
One Man Killed and Two Others
And a boy Injured-TerribIeC Con
hitiOn of the Survivors.

The following account of an explosion
of a quantity of dynamite at Green's
boro was sent the Raleigh Capital by
an engineer on the works at Greensboro:
We had a premature explosion of dyna-
mite on the works this morning-onc
man, Milton McAdoo. colored, was in
stantly killed and two others, Dave
Ramsey and Nathan Stancil. both white,
were wounded, as was also Joe,Bevil.
1t occurred at the blacksmith shop.
The boy was blown about fifty or seven
ty-fvc wards, and was least hurt of any
one Mr.. McAdoo the blacksmith, col
ored man, was instantly killed, being
horribly mutilated, one arm and hand
being blown nearly off. The next man
to him was Dave Ramsey, from Char,
lotte. He was horribly burned. bruised
and cut, and about half of his hair singed
off. His clothes were partly blown off,
and he presented a most ghastly spectacle
The next man, Staincil, we thought at
first was blown completely away, but
we found him in porch about a hun
drcd yards off; he seemed to be dazcd.
lie received a terrible shock and is COM
plctely unncrvcd, besides being deaf in
one ear. The little water boy, who was
the least hurt, was blown farther than
any of them. a woman said he came
out the volume of smoke as if he had
been hurled by some powerful engine.
lie fell about fifty or scventy-hve yards
off lie seemed to I've perfectly crazy for

We do not know for certain how much
exploded One Of the injured men told
me he had loaded seventeen cartridges
himself and thinks there were at least
thirty in the shop at the time of the ex,
pldsion. twill probably meyer be known
how they came to explode, but it seems
that the hands were getting ready for a
blast and had laid several dynamite cart,
