A GREAT LANDSLIDE.
River Near Quebec Is Completely Blocked
by Huge Fall of Earth.

Montreal, Sept. s-Almost repeti-
ton of the landslide which occurred
two years ago at st. Adams parish on
the st. Anne river below Quebec, when
large section of the land bordering
the river slipped down, carrying many
houses with it, has occurred. The
slide is described as being Is or 20
acres long and five acres deep. The
river is completely blocked. strange
feature is that the river has not risen
materially and it is feared that other
slides will follow. The inha bitants are
terror stricken and are Offering up
prayers in the church to avert further
disaster. The water undermined the
sand and clay banks of the river caus-
ing them to slip. 1t is feared that the
whole parish will ultimately be de-
stroyed.

The explosion occurred at the Grant
well, located in the rear of the Ma

the village limits. This well had just
been shot by Samuel Barber, the
shooter for the Ohio &5 Indiana Torpedo
Co. The we'll was gasser and when
the 100 quarts of glycerins let down
into the well exploded the gas ignited
and with terrific roar the flames shot
high above the derrick. A soon as the
drillers saw the flames several climbed
into the derrick to shut off the gas, but
they had hardly gotten there when
there was terrific explosion. The
burning gas had started the remaining
glycerine in the cans standing in
wagon near the derrick. In another
wagon near by were some cans con-
lalnlng l2O quarts OF the stuH, ana
this was started by the force of the
first explosion. The second was blend

the town and surrounding country for
miles trembled from the shock.

was completely demolished and moth

wagons stood. There is not a whole
