frightful conclusion and the re-
sultaut wave Of death cut off the
lives of more than a score of hu-
man beings and injured nearly so
others. Half dozen men who
were loading kegs of powder from
one of the magazines were blown
to pieces; four boys 200 yards
away were killed 10y the force of
the explosion, and IA frame
houses within radius of 400
yards were blown down as if they
had been built of cards. Seven
of these houses immediately
caught fire, probably from the
kitchen stoves, and we're complete
ly consumed. AT least three per-
sons were caught in the ruins and
burned to death, while seven or
eight others who were rescued
died subsequently of their iniu>
ries.
1t is estimated that 20 separate
pieces OF property, including those
already mentioned, were DESTROY
ed, while the force of the explo>
sion wrecked windows for 6yc or
SIX miles around, and it's thunder
could be heard distinctly more
than SO miles away.
The magazines we're the pro-
perty of the United States Car

fortunately y were situated more
than mile away from the factory

some 80 years ago, in what was
then broad, open field on the
banks of the Concord river. Dur.

OF the magazine nearest the street
and this morning eight men, three
OF them employees of the company.
three expressmen and two car
penters, were sent there with
three large express teams to take
out the powder and mend the
floor. Two of the teams had been
loaded and the other was almost
full when, at six minutes past 8
o'clock, the explosion occurred.
1t was a long time before the
actual cause of the explosion could
be ascertalned.
1t was thought at first That
every one within radius Of q
hundred feet of the magazines had
been killed, but later it was found
that Clarendon Goodwin, the fore.
man OF the men who were loading
the powder on the teams, had
survived, together with one of his
assistants, Amadee Boulaneer
and this afternoon the latter was
seen in the hospital. He said
that the men went down to the

Some Of those who are and have been
predicting dire things for Waterbury
seem to be farther from the mark than
Horace johnson is many time in his
weather prophecies. 1t is really laugh
able, when one stops to think of 1t,
how little foundation there is for a
whole lot of this nonsense, such as was
INDUCED in for few days before the
mass meeting, for instance. Those who
would like to see the strikers cause in
jured had spread the announcement
that there was going to be trouble, SO
diligently and faithfully, too, that
Chief-of-P Egan had all the spe-
cials he could gather. in readiness for
any emergency. There was no use for
them, however. The men who attend
ed the mass meeting as well as those
who managed 1t are law abiding citi-
zens. and just because they object to
proposed bad law il no reason why
scary people should imagine that they
were going to pull down the City hall.

and Manager Sewell stronger than ever
to settle this long drawn. out strike
now. After reading the latest propo-
sition Of the trolleymen, and the an

will agree to take back only twenty
five. For the sake OF old times, IL
nothing more, why cannot Manager
SeweH stretch a point and take back
the whole bunch, and begin to coin
money again for his company? It is
pretty generally understood that a
great majority Of the men now man
ming the cars are anxious to leave the
town, and will leave April |, If not
sooner, for places where they say they
can make So and $40 q day. IL this is
the case and the old men stand ready
to 60 to work, why delay further? The
town has been upset already too long
