TERRIFIC
EXPLOSION
Powder Magazine in France Creates
Widespread Devastation.
PROBABLY HALF HUNDRED DEAD

And Fully "a Hundred Injured, Some OF
whom Have succumbed to Their In
juries-Soldiers Recover Forty Dead
Bodies and Are Digging For More.
Toulon. March 6.-The naval powder
magazine OF La Goubran, between La
Scyne and Toulon, in the department OF
Var southern France, exploded at 2.3O
in the morning or the seven sentries
on duty four were killed outright and
the others severely injured, the corporal
being literally scalpcd and the scalp
overhangiug his face like a veil. A
number OF inhabitants OF the surround
ing district the buildings in which were
razed, also fell victims. Forty corpses
have already been recovered. II is inn
possible to ascertain accurately the mum
Der killed. but IL is believed that no
fewer than a hundred were injured. -Four
Of the injured have succumbcd 70 their
injuries, and it is believed that 10 are
still buried in the debris.
Fifty thousand kilogrammes OF black
powder exploded. II looks as though
volcanic eruption had occurred, the
country being swept almost bare within
a radius Of two miles, houses destroyed,
trees overturned and distorted, fields de-
vastated and covered with stones and
impalpable black dust
Some Of the stones are enormous. One
weighing 80 kilogrammes fell in th-
suburb Of Pont de Las. Signs Of the
explosion are evident in all the suburbs
Of Toulon and in the city itself. Even
at St Jeane de Var. FIVE miles distant,
windows were shattered and doors bat
tered in.
All the bodies found or recovSed are
terribly mutilated. Sixteen were found
in the rocks near the shore, and il is
feared that others were precipitated into
| the sea.
| A vehicle moving along the road near
the sea was lifted bodily into the water
| by the force of the explosion, two Of its
| occupants being drowned.
! The scene at the village of La Goubran
was appalling. The cries of the wound
ed were agonizing, and the people were
almost frantic
Although it was a clear night, the ex.
ploson was so terrific as to produce a
| slight rainfall.
Fortunately the neighboring magazines
| escaped. 1t is now believed that the ex'
| plosion originated in chemical decompo
sition in smokeless powder. There is nc
suggestion OF foul play.
A large number OF soldiers are now
employed in clearing away the debris
but the work is very difficult
Today the whole city in in mourning
flags are at half mast. the theaters arr
draped and the casinos closed. Both tn,
government and municipal authoritie
are forwarding relief funds. NJ. Lock
roy, minister of marine, has telegrapheC

All the street electric lights west of Main
street went out at a late hour Saturday night
and it was thought by most people that it was
due to the storm. 1t was subsequently
learned that wires controlling the service
had been cut, but it has been impossible to
determine who did the mischief 1t is be-
lieved by many that thieves did it to aid
them in their plans. In addition to cutting
the wires the parties cut the ropes of thirteen
lamps, but did the cutting so that it did not
release any of the lamps from the fastenings.
About fifteen yards of rope was carried away
from each pole.

"RIue Lawsn for Prlnters.

Why not? Certainly some enactment
should 'enjoin and restrain" many printers
who seem determined upon self-destruction
from a commercial standpoint. Prices given
and accepted by merchants detail the first
chapters Of the open book which has ceased
to be novel" Judgments against suicidal
printers are everyday events caused by the
mania-low prices. Do certain men know
