 As none of them returned, and as no deaths were reported, it was pre- | sumed that the explosion was trivial and that no one was hurt. With the coming of daylight, the town was reas- sured and the anxious wives and mothers were congratulating them selves that all was well, when a sec ond and far more terrible concussion was heard and, instantly Pinole knew that its worst expectations were real ized. A few minutes later the truth was known and when the large flag that always flies in the center of the town was only raised halfway, the universal query was-"Who?"
 Shortly before two o'clock yesterday morning slight detonation aroused the sleepers at the Hercules Powder Works and the officials at once started out tolnVeStgate. Before many seconds passed there was loud explosion, that was heard all over the town mile away. The practiced ears of the en- ployeS who stay at the works, familiar With such sound, at once traced it's source to the nitro -glycerine house, which stands by Itself on the extreme

Although 1t was very dark 1t was considered inadvisable to wait for day. nght, as there is always danger of the deoris taking fire and largely increas- ing the danger to the surrounding buildings. The men on the ground were re-enIorced by many who came In from the town, and probably not less than seYenty-flve were working under Su- perlntendent Bermingham removing the wreck an hour after the explosion occurred. An inspection showed that the damage had been confined to the corner of the building occupied by what IS Known as the blow-tank This tank IS massive iron affair and was blown 10 pieces by the force of the explosive .hat was within it. The brick founda- tlon was also blown out and the under plnning of the building badly under mined. Beyond the wrecking of the ploW-tank no great amount of damage was done and no one was injured. as the building was not near any of the bunk houses
 Just at daybreak a workman named Dan trayer discovered a piece of burned fuse, about four feet long. It hao put recently been burned out and was In such Q position as to suggest that 1t had been placed under the blow tank. Prayer at once called MT. Berm- lngham to inspect 1t. and by his re- spending promptly to the call the as- Slstant superintendent saved his life, Tor moment later there was a severe explosion on the main floor of the nitro house, and Birmingham and two or three others who were insDecting the

fire were knocked down by flying de- bris.
 The explosion that proved fatal and that completed the wrecking of the nitro house occurred about o'clock. Its force can only be estimated by the completeness with which it wrecked everything in the vicinity and the fear ful havoc and death it dealt out to the workmen who were nearest to 1t.
 Before the smoke and dust had clear ed away cries of wounded men were heard from the many places where they were pinned under the wreck. As the survivors were returning to the scene. having naturally run off to a safe dis tance. they found a mass Of dead hu- manity that was afterward recognized as that of Patrick Murphy. A little fur ther, another body, horribly mutilated, was found, and while they were being lifted from the mass of timber, iron and sheet lead, two other victims were unearthed The four bodies were car ried up the side of the hill and later were taken into town by the Coroner, where an inquest will be held on their remains next Saturday.
 Although the actual damage to prop erty is remarkably small, the list of in jured is larger than In former eXplo- sions when fifty times the damage done yesterday was experienced As such large number of men were at work when the second explosion occurred. 1t

 Once again the little town of Pinole Is wrapped in sorrow and it's flags are at half-mast. In four houses death has again entered suddenly. and for the first time in the history of it's pow der explosions there is more than a suspicion that the catastrophe of yes terday morning was the work of & murderous miscreant
 During the eighteen years since the powder works were first built, PinOle has become accustomed to periodical explosions. The mothers and children live in an atmosphere of horrible an- ticipation, and as soon as the direful boom-the sound of which Is so well known-comes over the hill, there is but one thought in every mind.
 Yesterday morning, not quite a cou- pie of hours after midnight, the awful sound was heard for the first time in three years. Instantly the village was

\ great many of the turf followers
now at the Benning track regard Frank
Regan's two-year-old, Sir Florian as
star. This colt is without doubt one of
ne best that will be seen during the
Spring meeting, and many excellent
judges without hesitation pronounce him
a youngster far above the ordinary. He
started four times at New Orleans. scor-
ing two victories, a second and a third.
In his first race third money was his
share of the purse. May Hampstead, the
supposed crack of the West, won. He
had very little preparation for the race,
and his showing was far above what his
trainer expected. His next two starts
showed him first at the finish and in his
last one he was beaten in a drive by May
Hampstead. All who saw the race agree
that he should have won. Barrett who
rode him, made too much use of him in
the first half mile. He is compactly-
built youngster. very much on the lines
of his sire, Sir Florian, and in color the
resemblance is also noticeable, the same
rich chestnut coat with pronounced white
marks. In his stall he is as quiet as n
tabby, and at the post is as staid as an
old campaigner.

ton from E. r. Bovine the trainer of

that he would wager $4,000, play or pay,

ing September, the first to be John r. Cen

Gentry against Star Pointer Murphy
declined to make the match. He renewed
his offer to race Guinette against Cen
try. but said that he had other plans for
Star Pointer, and that the record holder
would not be matched. Bownes propo-
sltion was for one race a week. the
amount staked on each contest being
g, 500 a side. Few turfmen believe that
Guinette can beat Gentry in a race, but
the Chicago horseman still sticks to his
offer to to match "Guinnie'' against the

is said that Guinette worked a mile in
