Buildings of Powder Company in Kansas
Blown UP and Lives Thought to
Have Been Lost.

FORT SCOTT, KANs., May 26.-During
heavy electrical storm this evening light.
ming struck one of the seven large build
ings of the Lahin-Rand Powder Company
at Turck, Cherokee County, Kans., and an
awful explosion followed, the flame of the
burning powder shooting 800 feet III the
air. The report was heard for twenty
miles.
The plant was established in 1890 and
cost $250,000. Owing 10 the distance of
the plant from telegraphic Office no de-
tails can be learned. 1t is feared that
many lives were lost, as the factory runs

day, boats were hard to procure, and the
work of rescue was somewhat slow.
Steam and naphtha launches were hurried
to the scene, and in this particular the
boats of the various warships were the
most active. Scores of people who were
fioundering in the water or clinging to
the debris were picked up and taken to
places of safety, but many sank before the
eyes of the rescuers ere they could be
reached.
relatives crowded around the approaches
to the bridge, eagerly scanning each body
as it was brought to land Mothers,
crazed by the loss of husbands or children,
attempted to Jump into the Arm in their
eagerDess to rescue their loved ones As
body after body was brought to the shore
crowds rushed forward to search each
mangled face, yet dreading the possibility
that il might be that of some one whom
they hoped had escaped from the death
trap.
Up to 10:30 O'Clock sixty-two bodies had
been taken from the bay. Twenty persons
known to have been on the bridge at the
time of the accident are missing and it is
supposed that they have perished. The
car re gister shows ninety fares and it is
probable that over 125 people were on
board.
The rescue of some of the victims was,
under the circumstances, almost miracu-
lous. Among those saved were Mr.. and
Mrs. Foster of Seattle. Foster stood on
the outside of the electric car and his wife
was seated within. When the car went
