TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Powds sr Mill at Dover, N. j.,
Blown Up.
SIX MEN KILLED AND FOUR WOUNDED
Explosion Caused by Spark From
Careless WOrIman's Pipe-Ten Build
ing Totally Destroyed-No Bodies
Have Yet Been Recovered.

EASTON, Pa. April 29-The town Of
Dover, in Morris county. N. j.. and the
country within radius of 20 miles was
startled yesterday afternoon by a series
of terrific explosions, the first of which
occurred at 2:10 o'clock The explo-
sions occurred in the Atlantic Powder
companys works, and the plant is now
complete mass of ruins. Six work.
men We're killed and four others were
seriously injured, some probably fatally.
Their remains have not yet been recov-
cred
The works were situated in an iso-
lated spot seven miles from Dover, in
rough country. There were ten
buildings in the group, and all have
been destroyed. The first explosion Oc-
Cured in one of the packing houses,
caused 1t is thought, by a spark from
the pipe Of a careless smoker. The con-
cussion set off the explosives in another
packing house near by. Debris and
burning timbers OF the wrecked build
ings were carried high into the air and
fell in a shower over the remaining
buildings, setting fire to the main fac
tory and the other five packing houses
and the two shell houses. In a brief
time the explosives in these buildings
were set Off and left death and destruc-
tion in their wake. The works have been
running night and day, turning out rush
orders for the United States govern
ment, and a large amount of ammuni-
tion ready for shipment was stored in
the packing houses. This, with all 9TH
er explosives, was completely destroyed.
The scene presented at the place was
terrible. People who felt the shocks
and saw the flames of the burning
structures flocked to the place from
miles around. but could render no aid
20 the injured. The people We're terri
fed and held back in constant fear of
other explosions. A few men who were
in the buildings managed to escape.
and they ran about the country bewil-
dered. They could give no intelligent
account Of the cause Of the explosion.
When the wives and relatives Of the
employees of the factory approached
the burning buildings, the scene was
most heartrending. The women tore
their hair and ran about in a pitiable
manner. 1t was nearly O'Clock before
the ruins had cooled off sufficiently "a
be approached and before the onlOokers
could be induced to go near the spot
The bodies of the dead were horribly
mangled. The head was missing from
some, while here and there lay legless
and armless trunks. Many of the in
Jured were cut and manned so badly
that some Of them cannot recover. The
loss cannot be learned at this writing
The dead are Alfred Rarick, William
Stumpf Casper Ray David Scheer

the killed were married and leave fam

II takes a clever dressmaker to
crumple ones sleeves without adding
TO the apparent size of the shoulder.
The sleeve must follow the line of the
arm. but still be full enough TO "erum-
pie" over the wrist and hand. The
proper way to produce this effect is to
cut the sleeves the same width as the
lining, but very much longer. Then the
material is pushed Up or down with
out bulging sideways giving the de-
sired "crumpled" look. which is yet to
be distinguished from shirring. The
