DISASTROUS EXPLOSION

QUARTS OF NITROGLYCERIN.
Man and Horses Blown Into Atoms,
Hole Seven Feet Deep Made i'm the
Rock and Trees Splintered.

TIFFIN, o., Nov. 13.-A magazine used
by the Bradford nitroglycerin factory to
store the product of it's factory, located
two and a half miles east of Gibsonburg.
exploded this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The
srock was heard at towns within a radius
of forty miles and the effects of the ex-
plosion in the immediate neighborhood were
terrific. The magazine is located in the
woods quarter of a mile from any dwell
ing and this alone prevented great loss of
life. Benjamin Card, driver of a stock
wagon, had brought a load of 720 quarts
of nitroglycerin from the factory at Brad
ford and was unloading 1t when the ex-
ploson took place. Just how it happened
will never be learned. Card and the two
horses driven by him received the full ef-
feet of the explosion. He was blown al
most to atoms, only a few shreds Of his
body were found and pieces of horse flesh
were found miles away. 1t is supposed
somebody was with Card, but this is not
positively known.
The explosion made hole seven feet deep
in the solid rock and trees in the vicinity
were torn to splinters. People within a
lures were torn from the walls, dishes
thrown out Of cupboards, windows shat
tered and houses moved from their founda-
tions. All the windows in Gibsonburg were
broken. There were about 150O quarts of
nitro glycerin on the wagon and in the
magazine. Card lived in Bradford, O., and
left family. The shock was distinctly felt
here.
