During the progress of the fire this
afternoon sparks from the mill set fire
to the city magazine. which is located
across the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road track from the mill-plant. and
about o'clock the residents of this city

explosion. Men at work on the tower
of the convent were almost shaken off.

At the time OF the explosion there were
$1,000 pounds OF powder and 800
pounds of dynamite stored In the maga-
zine. The air in the vicinity was filled
with flying bricks, and a number OF cot
tages were blown 10 pieces by the ter
rifle explosion, which was distinctly
heard at Spring Hill, seven miles west
of the city, and at least ten or twelve
miles from the explosion. The lateness

are reports to the effect that two negroes
were blown TO atoms. and that several
others that were engaged In taking goods
to a place Of safety from store about
a block from the magazine about the
time the explosion occurred are more

There are two smaller magazines near
the large one which exploded, which are
said to be filled with explosives, but IN
an interview tonight, John II. Moore
keeper of the magazines, said that ne did
