Did Not Strike.
ACCEPTED PROPOSITION
Mainly on Lines Iof Westerly Settle
ment---S3 for Three -fourths Of
Men and Eight Hour Day.

Concord, May 1.-THE granite cutters
will not strike May IL This was the
pleasant information given last evening by
a member OF the executive committee Of
the union The granite cutters held a
largely attended meeting last evening and
appointed a committee to confer with a
committee representing the manufacturers.
1t was agreed to accept the proposition
of the manufacturers, which is practically
on the lines Of the recent Westerly, r. T.,
settlement. The terms allow that rs per
cent Of the men employed must receive 81
per day and that 25 per cent Of the less
skilled help receive $3.50 per day Eight
hours constitute days labor.
There remains one matter to be settled,
and that is in relation TO the tool sharpen

Not a Whole Length Of
Pipe on Main Street.
FOR SOME DISTANCE
If New Street is Constructed New
Sewer Main May be Necessary
Pipe Broken for Ten Years.

At the hearing on the necessity and the
nature of permanent roadway for Main
street at the city council chamber yester-
day afternoon, rather startling fact was
stated by City Engineer Allen when he
said that he had been making an examin-
alton Of the Main street sewer from the
National Bank building to Granite street,
and that from Miles block to Granite
street there isn't length Of sewer pipe
that Is whole.
Mr.. Allen further stated that many Of
the lengths Of pipe are broken in three
places, two underneath and one on top.
From the bank building to the Miles
block the pipe is apparently whole. Be
yond Granite street Mr.. Allen has not had
opportunity to examine. Mr.. Allen said
the breaks had probably existed for the
past ten years. He attributed the cause
OF the breaks to poor tamping when the
pipe was laid.
III the cracks have been there 10 years
as seems probable it will be extremity
dangerous to dig up Main street for the
purposes Of constructing new roadway
without first laying a new sewer main, as
the present pipes would be very liable to
cave in.
The hearing brought out no opposition
to the construction Of a new strpet--ey-
eFyone agreed that 1t was needed. The
objections that were made were 10 meth

Eight Workmen in Penn
syIvania Powder Plant.
COUNTRYSIDE TERRORIZED
Inhabitants Fled to Places Of Safety
Fearing that Geater Explosions
Would Follow.

Holliuaysburg, Pa, May i. = The
plant of the Cresson Powder works,
owned by Pittsburg capitalists and To-
Gated on Piney creek, ten miles south
Of this town, was wrecked by an ex-
plosion during the day. Eight work
men were killed. The dead are:
Ross Kennedy, Charles Ross, George
Fay, Tony Fabrico, an Arabian; Will
liam Lyons, Frank McKiernan, Fisher
Lantzer, Frank Straesser.
Superintendent Harry Taggart Of
Pittsburg is fatally injured.
The powder factory is located in a
remote portion of the county and au-
thentic details are unobtainable at
present. Near the factory are the lime
stone quarries of the American Wire
and Nail company, where 500 men are
employed These duarries have been
deserted by the fleeing men, and all
who live in the neighborhood are hur-
rying TO places Of safety
In the magazines and storehouses OF
the factory are 1,400 blocks Of explo-
sives, and ii is feared greater explo-
sions may occur. The Piney creek
branch Of the Pennsylvania railroad
runs past the factory, and because Of
the danger the railroad company has
refused to allow trains to pass over
this branch.
Fourteen men and sixteen women
were employed in the factory which
was destroyed Most Of them were
brought from Pittsbnrg. They are RE-
rarded as experts Id the manufacture
Of powder. The women managed to
escape from the building before the
explosion came that hurled their fellow
worlxmen into eternity All were cut
and badly burned.
The force Of the explosion was So
great that 1t wrecked all buildings IN
the vicinity and broke window panes
in towns five miles away A rescuing
party has gone from Williamsburg tc
the scene Of death and destruction.
