Where the Plant is Located.

The plant of the United States CARTRIDGE
Company is located in a distric. known as
riverside Park in Tewksbury. Just outside
of Lowell
The building in which the explosion oc-
curfeo was Il stone structure, about one
and one-half miles distant from the works
OF the cartridge company. Within "a dis
tance OF hfty yards are located half a
dozen houses Within a hundred yards
there are twenty houses more and beyond
that the buildings very close together
Every structure within Il quarter of a mile
was torn within and without. Men and
women and children who were inside of
the houses sustained cuts, bruises and
broken bones
Men who lived in streets not far away
who were fortunate enough to escape seri-
Gus Injuries, Immediately gave themselves
over to the work Of removing women and
children to places of safety, for almost
simultaneously with the explosion came
flashes from several bulldogs. Into the
flames and debris scores of men were soon
plunging in efforts to save life and prop
erty. Tie wreck was so complete however
that the work was harrowingly slow The
patrol wagons of the police and teams of
all descriptions were brought into use to
supplement the hospital ambulances 1t
was nearly noon before anything like an
accurate estimate Of the number killed
could hc obtained. Previous reports had
said that the dead would number seventy
five, but at 1l:43 O'Clock a canvass of the
hospitals and inquiry at the police sta
tion resulted In a conservative estimate of
twenty five killed and iifty-iive injured

Sixteen victims, most seriously hurt

and that az many more were desperately
hurt The crowds increased momentarily
and II seemed Hs If all Lowell had sus-
PENDED business and was at the scene of
the catastrophe.
on the way to the fire numerous carriages
were met that bore bleeding bodies of VIC

Bodies were taken from the ruins and laid
on the grass. Some were mangled beyond
recognition. Men and women tainted at
what they saw.
The wreck caused by the explosion covers
on extent of three acres. Houses. barns
and uutbuildings lay in q ruined state, some
/ half demolished, others hardly more than
a heap of broken timbers, still others werz
smoking from the recent fire, the prompt
response of the fire department having en-
atled them to qucnch the flames which fol-
lowed the explosion before they had extend
ell beyond the buildings affected by the
shock.
The district about the cartridge company's
Plant is known on the Boston and Maine
railroad as South Lowell, but IT is locally
citcn called 'Wigginsville." At time
no building stood near the cartridge com

CITIES WANT LAWS CHANGED.
Iowa Municipal League Plans to Ask
for Important LEGISLATION.

TOT Important lSSt0IdSloHs
iowa City, Dec. Mayor Stebbins.
OF this city, who is active in the affairs
OF the Iowa Municipal League, says
that the ieas-le will have several mat
tels of considerable Importance in the
way of proposed changes in the Iowa
municipal laws to bring to the atten-
ton of the next general assembly of
Iowa. The legislative committee of
the league Is scheduled for meeting
In Des Motnes during the first week In
January, when an active campaign VIII
be launched in the interests of the
changes that are to be proposed
Perhaps the most important change
in the municipal laws that will be ad-
vocated by the league, has to do with
giving cities of the second class In
creased power to Issue bonds for the
purchase of water works. SO that they
may be permitted to go beyond the
constitutional limit of indebtedness for
ths. purchase. or the construction of
such plants.
The league will also ask that the
legislature provide for special mu-
nicipal building fund. AT present the
expense of building improvements must
come from the general fund. which IS
limited by law. The league will argue
that cities often find themselves
cramped for money for public improve
mAnts.
Another change that will be proposed
by the league is that giving to cities
of the second class power to collect and
dispose of it's own bridge tax under the
government. The bridge tax
in cities OF the second class Is now
handled in connection with that OF the
county in which the cities are located.

CANCELLATION BOARD MEETS.
Mine Workers Presented Charges of
Z Discrimination Against Strikers.

Mine Workers Presented Charges of
Discrimination Against Strikers.
POTTSVILLE, Pa, July 24:-At the
meeting of the conciliation board the
mine workers presented charges of
blacklisting against the Lehgh Coal
and Navigation company in. the Pan
ther Greek valley. The company is ac-
cused of violating both the letter and
the spirit of the award of the strike
commission by discriminating against
men who took part in the big strike. 1t
Is alleged that several hundred men
have been placed on blacklists by the
company, while many others are unem-
pIoyed.
Superintendent Luther of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Iron and Coal
company had fist of grievances
charging mine workers employed by
his company with having violated the
award of the commission. On account
of the lateness Of the hour these griev-
ances were not considered.
The board decided that the laborers
employed by contract miners are enti-
tied to receive the 10 per cent increase
awarded by the commission to the con-
tract miners and shall also participate
in the advance in wages on the sliding
scale.
