ANOTHER EXPLOSION
Works of the American Forcite
Powder Company Wrecked.
SEVEN MEN BLOWN TO PIECES.

Their MangIed Remains Scattered
Over Several Acres of Ground,
and Hundred and Fifty Pounds
of Flesh and Bones all That Re-
mains of the Seven Sturdy Workers.
NEWARK, N. j., April 49, The works
of the American Forcite Powder Co., a
short distance from the landing station
at Lake Hoptacong, on the Morris and
Essex railway, blew up late yesterday
afternoon. and seven men were blown to
atoms. The killed are j. D. Smith,
superintendent of the works; Jacob
Carlson, William Pierce, James Vagh,
A. johnson, Godfrey Water and an I'M
known Swede. Besides these, two men
were injured. One of them, Benjamin
Cashmere, will probably die.
The works of the company consisted of
number of small buildings scattered at
distance of about 300 feet from each
other. The nitro-glycerine mill was the
first building to 20 up, and the shock of
this explosion caused six other buildings
to be rent asunder by their dangerous
contents exploding. The report was ter
ritic, and was heard in the surrounding
country for many miles. Buildings in
the vicinity rocked as if on stormy sea,
and i'll some instances appeared as if
about to topple over.
Frightened Residents Flee.
The startled residents rushed from
their houses and saw cloud of dust and
smoke flying through the air near the
lower part of the company's works.
They knew instinctiVely what had hap
pcned and ran for the mountain side,
fearful that some of the large storage
houses of the company i'll which there
were tons of the highest and deadliest
explosives, might go up at any moment
When several minutes had passed, with
out their fears being realized, the people
cautiously advanced to the scene OF the
explosion. The wreckage was found to
be on fire and burning tierCely Tho
most timid of those present, seeing in
this new danger-there being a posi-
bility that the flames might spread to
the storage houses-again fed The
others, however, ran out the company's
flre apparatus, and water from the lake
was used to fight the fire. In short
time the flames were under control, and
then the wrcckage scattered about was
overhauled for the purpose of finding
the men who had been ut work in the
buildings
Fragments of Bodies Found.
Within few minutes two men were
found, both badly injured The roll of
the company's employees was then called
and it was found that seven men were
missing. These men were undoubtedly
dead, and search was begun for their
bodies. The searches were mostly old
employees of the company, and knew that
III case like the present one il was use
less to search among the ruins chat still
remained where the buildings had "a Iood.
They found pieces of flesh and bones
scattered over several acres of ground.
After several hours work the searcherB
had succeeded in gathering about $50
pounds Of mangled flesh and bone, which
Is all that remains of the dead men
The cause of the explosion is not
known, and a representative Of the com
pany on the scene said it would be i'm
possible to ascertain it.

have been averted, and numberless
cases of hardship brought within the
sphere of official aid. Hence the
peasantry work with will on these
railroads, rejoicing in the task.
Letters just received by me contain
accounts of the railroad now being con-
structed from Zlatoust, east of Samara,
to Tcherliabinsk, in the very heart OF
the JTral district. 1t will form branch
Of the Samara- Ufa- Zlatoust Railroad,

hoped that this project, now well under
way. and which has a line of operations
extending through some OF the very
worst of the famine-ridden districts,
will prove a great blessing to the people,
who are flocking in numbers to seek en-
gagements on the works.

fine specimen of humanity-tall and
proportionatelY built, of strong and
powerful frame, robust and enduring.
He generally wears a beard and long
hair, cut short at the back to display the
powerful neck. His face is very attract
i've, having a peculiarly pleasing ex-
preston, Of mingled amiability, tender
ness, and candor. Over it all there
flashes now and then an unconscious
CLEAN of barbaric wildness that imparts
kind of picturesque fierceness to the
keenly expressive countenance. In char
acter he is by instinct simple, patient,
social, and good-tempered.
The moujik lives under conditions
sufficiently trying even during ordinary
times to make it seem as though fate
would consider him to have his full
share of hardship, without forcing upon
him lot Of still greater severity.

priests succeeded in crushing a super

kind of idolatry. A stone image, or
storm god, rudcly carved into hui

island, but was afterward for years
on the north island, where it was
kept in a kind Of temple erected for
it. the remains Of which are still
standing, and from this it would be
taken out and set facing the quarter
from which the natives desired that
a storm should come. It was subse-
Quently brought back to the south
island where it was broken up by a
priest some fifteen or twenty years
ago. The islanders put the pieces TO-
gether again and kept them in posi-

round them, but the priest returned.
