crushed.

The fends who planned the explosion
did their work well, despite the fact that
mart of the plan, failed They placed
about twenty-four sticks of dynamite un-
der the building, each being about nine
inches long and weighing one-halt pound
a wire connected the sticks with a battery
situated about fifty yards away When the
signal was given only about half q dozen
of the sticks exploded. They were enough,
however TO completely wreck the build
ing not a beam or plank of which was
left standing.
Several of the inmates who occupied
beds in the upper floor were hurled fifty
feet in the air, and some Of them escaped
fatal injuries by aighting in the trees
near by. Half dazed by fear and sleep,
they managed to hold on the limbs until
they recovered their senses and were able
to reach, the ground.
A track walker, who arrived on the
scene shortly after the explosion, says it
resembled a battlefield. The cries of the
injured were heart rending. Some OF
them were in the trees; others were lying
on the ground and under the debris of
the wrecked building.
One Of the boarders, who escaped in
jury made his way to a neighboring
shanty and woke the inmates. Blankets
and bedding were carried to the scene and
the injured made as comfortable as pos
sible.
AT daylight the officials Of the Lehigh
Valley railroad were notified, and a spe-
cial train, with number of physicians
was hurried to the scene. The doctors
dressed the wounds of the injured, who
were then brought to the hospital in this
city.
The harding boss saws he is at a loss
as to what prompted the deed. AS far as
he knows, he has no enemies in the world
Some of the boarders think the motive
was robbery, as several of them were
known to have considerable money in
their possession. If this was the object
of the fends, it is plain why they placed
so much OF the explosive under the build
ing. They wanted to kill every person
in the place, in order to get the plunder
and then escape detection.
Up to o'clock tonight no arrests had
been made.
One Of the wounded men says that i'm
mediately after the explosion he saw four
strange men running down the roadway
leading to the village of Miners Mills
They carried lanterns. While he lay on
the ground another stranger approached
him and rifled his pocket. He also cut the
belt which encircled his waist and carried
it away.
Another of the injured gives it as his
opinion that the men seen on the ground
after the explosion were tramps. The
dynamiters used Pttsburg dynamite,
which fact may lead to their discovery,
as dynamite of that character is used by
the railroad contractors, whose tool house
is near the scene. The house had been
broken open and a new battery taken out
An old battery was found near by. The
supposition is that the latter would not
work and new one was necessary.
