PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 12.-A fear
fuI explosion occurred near the little
town of shannopIn. by which two men
and two women were killed. Shannopln
Is eighteen miles down the Ohio rlver.
on the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, The
explosion occurred about $3.50 a. m. The
force Of the conclusion shook the earth

Walter Crane was badly Injured, but
It Is thought that he Will recover from
his injuries.
The Columbian Dynamite Company,
q branch Of the Pennsylvania Torpedo
Company, limited, has a mill for the
manufacture OF nltro-glycerine about
one mile back OF Shannopin. AT the
hour mentioned an explosion occurred
IN the factory. The mill was totally
demolished. 1t Is NOT known how the
explosion occurred, but It Is thought
that some of the employees must have
careIessly Jared one of the vessels in
which the deadly fluid was kept
The explosion consisted OF two dis
tinct reports, one coming about half
minute after the other. The magazine
was divided Into two apartments. In
one the nitro-glycerine was stored, and
IN the other the dynamite. II 10 sup-
posed that the former by careless hand
ling produced the first explosion, which
was simultaneously communicated to
the dynamite store house.
The force OF the explosion was felt In
the surrounding towns. In Shousetown
the public school house was badly shR-
ken and almost demolished. In the
stores goods were thrown from the
shelvea by the violence of the c0Acuss-
ions. Houses were rocked and left
without a whole pane of glass in the
windows. The residents were terror
stricken, and their fears were aug
mented by the fact that 1t was dificult
to obtain any Information as to the
cause of the disturbance.
In the school house the children
were dismissed, and WIN not be requir-
ed to attend until the building can be
strengthened. In some OF the surround
ing towns chimneHs were dlslodged
from the Elbuse tops, The utmost COM
sternatIon prevailed. Many of the peo-
pIe believed that the shock was due to
an earthquake. The whole Ohio valley
was affected.
