 Mcdonald X Sayre. railroad con- tractors arc building a second track of seven miles on the Lehigh Valley cut off, and at a point one mile from Fair view in the wilds of Wilkesbarre - dn- tain, Hungarian camp was located which was presided over by Mike Urk- lowitz and wife.
 The camp consisted of rough build- ing thirty feet square constructed in the midst of thicket of scrub oaks beside the track.
 During the night as is always the custom, three of the sixty Hungarians, men and women, sat up on watch and were willing away the time playing cards.
 Some time during the night party of desperadoes secured a battery and brought it to the railroad track in front of the camp and connected 1t with wire completing circuit to each corner of the camping house. A tool chest standing near by was broken open from which were taken number of dynamite sticks which were dis tributed beneath the building.
 The circuit completed, 1t was but moments work to turn on the battery setting off the dynamite. However, in the haste with which the misereants worked they made faulty connection at the battery. and when it was turned on but one, and certainly not more than two of the dynamite sticks ex= ploded.
 Frank Nevoil<o, one of the party playing cards on the first floor, was in- stantly killed both legs being blown off at the knee.
 The building totally collapsed, and was shivered into slivers excepting one half of the roof, which sank in. par tially covering the debris.
 The two other men at the card table were scarcely injured at all, while the others killed and injured met their fate from the collapse of the building.
 The force of the explosion was so great that the earth was torn up about the site of the camp, and their effects
  sils, etc, were scattered in every di- reetion.
 As is the custom of the IIungarians, those who were uniniured, at day break, commenced collecting their shattered goods and chattels, and by noon large number of the m en had prepared to take their departure, hav- ing no concern and paying no atten- ton to their dead and injured country men.
 The Eehigh valley Railroad Go. sent out wreelSing force, with physicians, detectives and the coroner. Upon it's arrival the injured men were cared for by the physicians, placed on the train and brought to the hospital here, and the bodies of the dead were also brought here and prepared for burial.
 The detectives have arrested Mike Url1lowitz, the boarding boss, as witness. They profess to believe that he can give evidence that may lead to the detection of the men who com mitted the outrage.
