AN uNLuckY SPARK.
The Greatest Explosion Of Gunpowder the
World Has Ever Known.

The Greatest Explosion OF Gunpowder the
World Has Ever known.
The greatest explosion of gunpowder
the world has ever known took place at
the Du Points works ON the 7th of Octo-
Der, 1890. With their usual cautious
policy the Du Points have never stated
just how great quantity Of powder ex
ploded at this time, but it is certain
that three magazines and three mills in
the upper yard were blown up, one after
another, and safe estimate will put
the quantity Of powder exploded at $50
tons. In this explosion IS men and
woman were instantly killed, while 90
men and 9 women were injured, some
fatally.
The explosion occurred little after
o'clock in the afternoon. It began in the
magazine for hexagonal powder, the
kind used in large guns, and the most
dangerous, being made not in grains,
but in reddish, six sided cakes about an
inch and ahah in diameter, and an inch
thick, with small hole running through
the center. These cakes look like moth
ing SO much as the nuts ON a wagon
wheel At the time Of the explosion
cakes of powder were being packed into
large wooden boxes lined with tin, each
box being about 3 feet square. The tin
Innings projected above the tops Of the
boxes about two inches, and when box
was packed were folded down over a tin
cover fitted closely upon the cakes of
powder. 1t was the duty of one Of the
workmen, William Green, to solder
these tin edges down upon the tin cover,
q hot iron being used for this purpose.
On the day in question what he had
feared came to pass. A fellow work
man, William McGarvey, was bringing
him the hot irons from charcoal brazier
about 20 yards distant Green stood at
the door Of the open magazine, and all
around him were uncovered boxes filled
with the hexagonal powder ready to be
sealed and slowed away. There were
also dozens of boxes that had been
sealed. Just what happened will never
be known, for neither Green nor Nc
Garvey was left to tell the story. But
the probability is one Of the soldering
irons was little too hot, and by touch
ing particle of dirt ON the tin cover
produced the deadly spark.
