Nineteen Men Known to Be Dead
Large Number lnjured-All
Windows Broken in
Passing Train.

Connelsville, Pa, Sept. 10.-The
Rand Powder mills at Fairchance, six
miles south of Uniontown, were en-.
tirely wiped out by an explosion. OF
the 80 men who went to work in the
mills 19 are known to be dead. OF
these. 10 have been identified.
Besides nine of the factory force
who were seriously injured. scores of
people in the town of Fairchance,
within half a mile of the powder
mills, were more or less painfully in
jured.
The explosion occurred in a car
of powder and was followed a few
moments later by another and heavier
one, when the flames ignited the
large magazine.
One of the odd features of the affair
Is that passenger train No 81 on the
Baltimore & Ohio, from Morgantown
to Connellsville, was passing the scene
at the time the explosion occurred
The train was Jared tremendously
and every window was broken. A mum
Der of the passengers were cut by the
showers of glass which fell about anc

A majority of the dead men were
single, although several Of them leave
families.
When the bodies were recovered the
work of Identification was very diff
icult.
The hole where the magazine eXplod
ed is about Is feet deep and so yards
square.
Conservative estimates place the
loss to the Rand company at severa
hundred thousand dollars. There are
also extensive losses to private prop
erty in all surrounding towns.

characteristics, respectively. From the
very first moment of the fight until
Referee Graney finished the count OF
10, Nelson forced the fighting. Though
battered by innumerable bruising
blows upon the face and body and
at times very tired, Nelson never for
one moment gave ground. He came
back after every vicious attack by the
clever Britt, always ready to exchange
blows.

Graney was perfectly just in his de-
cisions, as my manager was sure he

the jaw that gave Britt his quietus.
