ty to take advantage of the proclamation.

OIL TANK ExpLopEs.
Six Men Killed and Many Injured at
Pnrkershurg. w. Nn.

Parkersburg, w. Va. July AT $3.50
Wednesday morning at the Ohio River
railroad shops in this city one of the
most horrible accidents that ever oc-
Cured in the history of the town took
place. \ yard engine was coming down
the track at a good rate of speed, bound
for the lower end of the yard, and on
nearing the shops the switch was
found to be open, and before the train
could be stopped the engine struck a
large train of gasoline. The officials of
the road happened to be there Wednes-
day morning, and, as is usual in an acct
dent of this kind, they fired cannon
through the remaining tanks of oil in
order to let it out. Instantly after the
shot had hit the tank it exploded. The
smoke rose hundreds of feet into the
air, and after it had cleared away the
most horrible sight ever seen in the city
met the gaze of those present. Every
where were to be seen pieces of human
flesh. Dead bodies were scattered here
and there, and the injured We're lying
all over the surrounding territory.
The dead are: j. II. Hamilton, gen.
eral superintendent; Bradley Reeves,
engineer; Edward Shannon, telegra-
pher; Yardmaster Carr. Master Me-
chanic Lalime. - Bradford. conduct
or. Besides this list of dead there are
from 25 to So seriously injured.
Many of the crowd who were stand
ing near the car when it blew up were
deluged with the falling oil. but were
not seriously injured. The officials and
workmep of the road who were killed
were blown down the track nearly so
yards and must have been instantly
billed by the terrible force of the ex-
plosion. They were standing right
where the explosion occurred and re.
reived the full force of it. Some of the
men who were killed were blown out
into the cornfield. and it was some time
| before their bodies were found. The
killed we're all frightfully mangled.
Their death vas evidently from the
force of the explosion and not from the
burning oil. although some of them
showed evidences of having been
burned Small fragments of human
bodies were picked up around the scene
of the explosion and some eharred frag,
| ments of bodies which had evidently
| been blown off and then burned.
Parties in search through the corn
| field for remains discovered all that
| was left of Superintendent Hamilton's
| watch, an hour after the accident. It
| was almost demolished and the works
| were entirely gone, but on the case
| could still be seen the inscription show.
Ing that the watch had been presented
