WILKEsBARDE, Oct 2S.-A large Hun
garian boarding house at Laurel Run,
this county, was blown to atoms by
dynamiterS at o'clock this morning,
and three of the inmates were killed out
right, four fatally injured and half dozen
seriously hurt.
The killed are Frank Nowaski, Michael
Gallets, George Silocky. The most dam
gerously injured are Joseph Gailets, back
hurt; Mike Goshit, head cut and arm
broken; kasera Kataresk, one leg broken
and the other crushed necessitating
amputation; Michael Uritz, abdomen cut
open; Fair Kotzcki, injured internally;
Antoney Zchleck, breast crushed; Uritz
Muritzka, leg crushed.
The fiends who planned the explosion
did their work well, despite the fact that
part of the plan failed. They placed
about twenty-four sticks of dynamite
under the building, each being about
eight inches long and weighing about
hall pound. A wire connected the
SUCKS with battery about fifty Yards
away. When the signal was given only
about haIf-dozen sticks exploded They
were sutncient, however, to completely
wreck the building, not beam or plank
of which was left standing. Half of the
inmates, who occupied beds on the upper
floor, were hurled fifty feet in the air,
some OF them escaping fatal injuries by
lighting on the trees near by. Half daZed
by lear, they managed to hold on to the
limbs of the trees until they recovered
their senses and were able to reach the
ground.
The track-walker, who arrived on the
scene shortly after the explosion, says it
resembled battlefield. The cries of the
injured were heartrending. Some were
lying in the wreck and others were lying
in the debris of the wreck.
At daylight the officials of the Lehigh
railroad were notified, and hurried to the
scene. Tonight two parties suspected of
the crime were arrested.
The dynamiters used Pittsburg dyna-
mite, which fact may lead to their dis
coVery, as dynamite of that character is
used by the railroad contractors, whose
Toulouse is near the scene. The tool
house had been broken into and an old
battery stolen.
CHIPPEWA FALLS SHAKEN
CHIPPEWA FALLS. Oct. 2S.-This city
and vicinity was terribly shaken to-day
by an explosion of dynamite The stuff
had been sent here on consignment of a
Chicago house to a local hardware mer-
chant. 1t is presumed rifle bullet fired
by hunter into the building lodged in
some powder and the person lost his life.
The ground was torn to great depth for
some distance, while trees and fences
were twisted, and quite number of trees
were torn out by the roots. The glass In
every farmhouse for miles around was
shattered. In this city the shock was dis
astrous to glass fronts, and the windows
in dwelling houses were broken. The
village OF Bloomer, near here. appears to
have felt the force more severely than
here. The scene of the disaster was
visited by thousands to-day.
A handkerchief and a piece of coat
sleeve were found about fifty rods away,
and they are thought to be part of the
clothing of Paul Gronar, an Austrian,
who was seen going in the direction of the
magazine a short time before the ex-
plosion.
