this morning the tank house of the Co.
lulnbia Powder Company, located one.
half mile back from the Ohio river and
midway between Shousetown and
Shanopin, blew up. Five minutes

fic explosion. Mr.. Stackney, the pro.
prietor of the works, and two young
women are dead, Mr.. P. McCloskey is
fatally injured, and Walter Crane very
seriously injured. Several residences
and outbuildings N the vicinity were
burned; houses for a considerable dis
lance surrounding were badly shatter-
ed by the explosion and not window
remains in the vicinity. The glycerine
magazine. which was surrounded by
an almost uncomfortable fire, was
saved and a more serious catastrophe
averted, owing to the fact that there
we're several hundred pounds of explo.
sives stored therein. All of the killed
were employees of the company.

Perry Carson could obtain an
office one was specially created
for him. Now near the close OF MIR.

Carson has been appointed to another
