Explosives But Boston Has some.
Melrose, Mass, Sept. 22.-The death
list Of nine resulting from last nights
disaster, in which well-filled electric
car was blown to pieces BY dynamite,
was not Increased to-day, although six
of the injured are still regarded as be-
ing in a very critical condition, and may
not survive their wounds. They are as
follows:

fractured and internal injuries.
George H. Andrews, Melrose, left leg
arnputated.
Edwin A. Waterhouse, Melrose, left
leg amputated.
J. D. Patten, Melrose, right leg am
putated.

was the haling before Judge Bruce, Of
the Maiden district court, of Roy c..
Fenton, the driver Of the express Wag-
on, from the tailboard Of which the
fifty pound box of dynamite dropped
to the street, to be struck later by the
ill-fated car. Fenton was charged with
manslaughter and held in $1,000 bail, in

county jail at East Cambridge, Judge

cident on September 49,
While the court proceedings were in
progress, Mayor Buttrick and other
city officials were making an investiga-
tion into the city ordinances covering the
handling and transporting high ex-
plosives, but they soon found out that
there was none for Melrose, although
there are some in Boston, where the
dynamite was obtained by Fenton,
which forbids heavy explosives of this
character being shipped through the
city.
Crowds visited the scene of the explo-
sion to-day, gazing at the shattered
pavement, the demolished windows in
the Masonic hall and other buildings
and marveling at the escape of SO many
