FOUR KILLED, AND Fifteen
OTHERS WOUNDED

these young people, and one OF them,
numbering twenty or twenty-five, gath
cred on the river bank, about the CEN
tire of the town, and near stable.
There they built fire out of brush and
drift wood, and were thickly clustered
about the blaze, some members OF the
party going to and from the waters
edge from time to time, while still
others endeavored to catch drift and
floating objects generally.
Just before o'clock one of the boys
caught a large can, which appeared
to be empty except for little water.
One of the youths played with the can
for a time, and then somebody threw
it into the fire and it was forgot
ten. In few minutes an explosion re-
suited sufficient in it's force to break
windows throughout the town and
shake the entire community, while the
shock was plainly felt in Wellsburg.
The effects upon the group surround
ing the fire was awful. Two of the
party-Hermann Findley and William
Shriver, were instantly killed, while
more than a dozen others were horri-
bly, wounded, one having both eyes
blown out and another one eye and his
nose destroyed. A third victim, the
little eleven months old son of Henry
Derrick, lying sick at his parents home,
was killed by shock and conclusion,
and a fourth victim, Robert Findley,
died about nine o'clock last night. One
or two Others of the wounded are not
expected to recover.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife and startled the people of the two
towns very thoroughly. There was an
immediate rush to the scene by the
alarmed people of Lazearville, and every
available physician was pressed into
service and the wounded were removed
to their homes, where every attention
was given them. For time the excite
ment was very great, and the cause Of
the accident could not be well under
stood Immediately, as those having
knowledge of the finding of the can and
tossing it into the fire were either dead
or grievously wounded. In a short
while, however. the fact was ascer-
tanned.
The can must have contained a very
considerable quantity OF the explosive,
probably as much as pint, judging by
the conclusion and havoc wrought. The
can probably was fioated off the bank
of some far-northern tributary of the
Ohio by the recent rains, and bobbed
along until caught by the boys through
a pure accident.
The accident is one of the most ser
ious ever occurring in this vicinity and
will be universally deplored.
At last reports last night, the major
ity of the wounded were doing well, but
a fatal result is looked for in one or two
cases.
