P1TTSBURG, Jan. 12.--The magazine OF
the Torpedo company, limited, at Shamokin
eighteen miles from here, exploded about lO
o'clock and completely demolished the build
ing and tore a hole in the roof. The num-
Der of killed is not known, as no one is left
of the employees. but it is thought at least
six men were killed. The concussion was
felt several miles away, and buildings in the
immediate vicinity were badly shattered. At
Shousetown the public school building was
partly demolished and a panic among the
pupils ensued, but none was hurt. Economy,
Coraopolis and other towns say the shock
broke windows. The cause of the explosion
is not known and particulars are very
meager. AS yet the names have not been
learned.
Two men and two women were killed and
one man injured. The names of the killed
were: L. ID. Sticlney, superintendent;
James McCloskey, workman; two girls,
names not known. The injured man was
Walter Crane. He will likely recover. The
explosion was at the plant of the Columbia
