Dynamite Explodes.

Sixteen hundred pounds of dyna-
mite in storage building on the
outskirts of Christiana, Pa, explo-
ded on Thursday morning of last
week, causing thousands of dollars
worth of damage. The dynamite
was the property of G. A. Sims &
Co., contractors, who are in charge
of the extensive railroad improve
ments being carried on at that
point. The supposition is the
steam pipes in the building, used to
thaw the explosive, became too hot,
with the result of a terrific explo-
sion which shattered window glass
for miles around.
The Christiana Machine Shops.
being in close proximity to the
storage house, were badly damaged,
the stone walls being cracked. The
greenhouses of Morris Brinton were
completely wrecked, and it being
impossible to keep up steam most
of the plants were killed through
freezing. The plate glass fronts in
the principal stores of the town
were shattered by the concussion
and other damage done.
An examination of the properties
wrecked by the explosion shows
that the loss will aggregate in the
neighborhood of 100000. The
principal damage, beyond the
breaking of window panes, was
sustained by the fracture of brick
and stone walls.
@. A. Simms & Co., the contrac-
tors, whose stock of dynamite ex-
ploded, have guaranteed to pay all
damages sustained by property
holders.

the road, upsetting the buggy and
throwing the driver out. Mr.
Kirk fell upon his back directly

a measure controlling it until assist
ance reached him from the ware
