HAGLEY YARDS AGAIN SEND OUT
ANOTHER THuNDER5oLT.

Rolling Mills of DUPONT Works at nAKIsy
Yard Blew Up Mt 4 80 This Morning,
But No Serious Damage waa Done-No
Cause Known.
Two small powder mills in Hagley
yards of the e. L DUPONT de Nemours
Company, blew up" at A 30 o'clock thls
morning This shock was plainly heard
throughout this city and Ia Newport and
stanton. At Rising Sun several
residents found 1t necessary to ordsr
new window pAnes and sweep up the
broken glass from around their houses,
which are only 3 stones throw from the
Haglsy yards.
Fortunately there WAS nobody near the
two small rolling mills which exploded
this morning, just at dawn Of day or
course, nobody knows what caused the
explosion. man of Henry Clay village
said this morning:
I'VE never can account for an ex
plosion. II there is nobody around or In
the mill at the time Of the blow up, there
Is no possible way Of finding out. If
there is, then We are at q greater loss to
know, for the man In the mill makes his
report to st. Peter in the other world
Then we know that we have to wait
until We, too, cross that river that is
wider than the Brandywine, to find out. "
As all the rolling mills of the DuPont
Company now have portable" roofs,
and rs all rolling mill machinery is OF
b. avy build, there was little damags BY
this mornings combustion. In times OF
explosions, the roofs are simply blown of
into the Brandywine and ara then hauled
ashore and replaced by riggsrs.
Ever since o'clock this morning busy
workmen with wheslbarrows have been
hurrying In and out Of the roofless mills.

danger to the laborsrs
At the office Of the E. /. DUPONT. de

thought that the financial loss by the
explosion would be very slight.

NIGHT WATCHMEN CAN'T SLEEP

Lawyers May Nod or in Court In
Broad Day Light But These Fellows
Cannot Doxe Even in Most Silent
Hours.
Ont at the works of Pullman's Palace
Car Company, beyond Eleventh street
bridge, they employ, regularly, from FIVE
to eight mig ht watchmen Not that there ia
any danger of the work being carried of
or hat violence will be done BY dis.
charged workmen or dissatisfied en-
ployes. Is this precRutIon taken. but as
there is great danger of fire In such a
large plant of frame buildings, cars and
car furnishings while numerous inter
lopers and trespassers make the danger
still greater.
So the fem maintains a force OF night
watchmen and these night watchmen
have foreman. A peculiarity abont
this silent force of workmen is that
unlike other night men, they never sleep
at night. Each man carries 4 lantarn
and must be on the 60 all night long.
Inc boss watchman carries dark Ian
tern which will, however, throw out a
search light oy one turn Of the slide.
But another reason that these watch.
men do not sleep is that there Is a big
indicator locked up In the Office
operated by electricity. In q dozen
different parts of the works are little
push buttons which the watchman must
put his thumb upon every fifteen
minutes, to signify that he Ia there and

THE REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE.

at the polls yesterday, electiug by subsian-

ity Of the next Legislature. the mayor OF
Baltimore, and a majority of the next city
council
At this writing the exac, majority in ia-
vor of Lowndes and the State ticket cannot
be accurately estimated, but it may be pIac-
ed at a very substantial figure In ma
tionsl sense the success of the Republicans
in electing Republican Legislature is the
most important of their achievements, As IL
insures Republican United States Senator
10 succeed Hon. Charles Fl Gibson.
While the landslide which occurred at the
polls yesterday was probably unexpected
only by a few Of the most -anguine Repub-
lican leaders, il has been we'll known for
several days that the conservative Demo
cratic managers had virtually given up all
strong hope Of carrying the State election,
though they still maintained faith in their
municipal ticket The revolt in the Demo
cratic party had proven more fruidab'e
than was expected, aud it was the strength
Of this element that dissipated the prospec
