plosion at the Republic Iron works on
South Twenty-fourth street, shortly before
daylight to-day. killed five men and seri-
ously injured seven. Fire, which broke out
following the explosion, added to the hor-
ror. The mill was partly wrecked and the
entire plant was compelled to close down.
The list of Killed is as follows: David Mat

heater. married; William Thomas, heater,
married: John Warminski, heater; un-
known man, crushed almost beyond recog

Donohue, his son, 2S years old, will die;
Frederick Herb As years old, will die:
Stephen Malacaski. Henry Sanders, Peter
Schnitzer; John Evans, cut about head.
The explosion occurred just as the night
force was leaving and the day force was
coming on duty, so that there were only a
few men in the mill at the time. If it
had happened half an hour later the list of
dead and injured would have been appall-
ing. The concussion was terrific. Buildings
were shaken a mile away, and dust filled
the air for two or three blocks.
immediately following the explosion the
wreckage took fire and this added to the
difficulties encountered In rescuing the
