POWDER MILL is BLOWN UP.
Two Hundred Barrels of Explosive
Touched of, kiIIinq Only One.

Touched off, Killing Only One.
t'ontanet, Ind, Aug. 1.-two hun
dred kegs of powder exploded at To-
cal powder mill yesterday, wrecking
the press mill of the powder plant and
instantly killing Frank Hamilton. 2S
years old, of Xenia, o. Hamilton was
at work repairing machine in the
plant and was blown nearly 100 feet by
the force of the explosion, his body be-
ing cut to pieces.
The plant employs 100 men and they
were awaiting the repair of the ma
chine before commencing work. This
fact alone, it is believed, prevented
many more from being killed.
The press mill in which the explo-
sion occurred was blown to the ground,
causing a loss of $4,000. Greencastle,
twelve miles away, reported seismic
disturbance from the effect of the
shock of the explosion felt at that
place.

PLATT'S NEW SKYSCRAPER
IS AMONG THE GREATEST

New York, August 19.-(Special) -Sena-
tor Platt's United States Express COM
pany building leads in the big race now
on between the New York skyscrapers.
The thousands who journey daily by the
Sixth and Ninth avenue elevated roads
have had a rare chance to see a sky
scraper in the making, girder and girder
floor by floor, for the express company
has located its new home directly be-
tween the Rector street stations of these
two lines
The new structure is twenty-three
stories high with a frontage of 119 feet
on Rector street and 1874 feet on Green
witch street The lower stories will be
occupied by the express company. Sem
ator Plat, president OF the company. will
also have offices In the building, and '49
Broadway" will lose it's long standing
political significance. The building will
oe equipped with all the most modern
convenicnces each office having hot and
cold, as well as ice water, and a vacuum
cleaning apparatus. The bridgeway be-
tween the Sixth and Ninth avenue ele-
waited roads Is to be removed and the
two stations connected by a corridor run
ming through the new building.
The type Of construction is of steel.
over 6O0O tons of structural steel having
been used A record was made on one
story, 200 tons having been erected in
sixteen working hours All the steel Is
protected from fire and corrosion by hol-
low tile and the floors and partitions
are of the same material.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-08-20

The question of fireprooflng was made
paramount by the owners. 1t was realized
that an express company handling all
kinds of valuable merchandise should
take particular precautions to protect 1t
from fire. The best types of fireproof
buildings throughout the country were
carefully studied, and steel and hollow
tile construction as represented In the
terminal warehouses in Pittsburg was
finally settled upon as being the safest
and affording the highest degree of pro-
lection. How SERIOUS a loss an express
company may suffer was shown some
years ago, when fire destroyed the offices
of the Adams, Wells Fargo and Ameri-
can Express companies.
Greater hotels increased the necessity
for safer hotels. The next big step for
ward was taken when the Pittsburg
terminal warehouses were designed-a col
lection of fireproof units of hollow tile.
Now another important advance in UNI
burnable construction has been taken in
this express company building.
In addition to being an example of the
best type of fireproof construction the
United States Express building Is also
a significant indication of the expansion
now going on In the financial district of
the city. 1t Is one of the first structures
built so near the water front, and gives
some idea of the increasing need for Of
flee accommodation at a reasonable rate.
The ever increasing demand by New York
and out of town corporations for offices
in the metropolis leads to a belief here
that the United States Express build
ing is but the pioneer of many similar
skyscrapers which. in the course of the
next few years will be built between
Broadway and the Hudson river front.

exempiified true manhood our comrade,
William +. Houghton until he died, July
30, 1906 To the last he was true to the
Confederate Veterans. He gave much of
his time to make glorious the lives and
services of the Confederate soldiers. What
he saw, and of which he was part, Is
told in a simple, straightforward narrative,
attractive because not aimed to be fna.
He did all he could to keep green tho
glorious memories of the past, to illumina
with love and devotion the dark pages
written in the blood of our bravest and
best.
Therefore, resolved by Camp Hardee,
That to the surviving members Of his fam

friends whom he served and who loved
him and so deeply deplored his departure;

community have sustained an .rreparable
loss. Each veteran feels a personal be-

WILL NOT CONTEST.
Pennsylvania Has Mo Intention of Cpl
posing New Rate Law.

Philadelphia. August 19-(Special.)-In
reference to newspaper reports that the
railroads of the country, under the lead
ership of the Pennsylvania railroad, were
planning to defeat the purposes and con-
test the validity OF the new interstate
commerce act, the Pennsylvania Railroad
company authorizes the following state
ment:
THE Pennsylvania Railroad company Is
not seeking to contest the validity Of the
new law, either on Its own behalf or
in conjunction with other railroads. An
exhaustive study of the measure is be-
ing made by both its legal and traffic de-
partments, for the purpose of clearly un-
derstanding its scope and requirements,
in order that they may be properly som
piled with. AS Is well known, the Penn
sylvania Railroad company many years
ago took a very firm stand. which it has
maintained In opposition 70 freight rate
rebating, and the policy of the company
has been to favor any measure which
would entirely eliminate such practices
from American railroading. Insofar as it
understands the purpose of the new law.
therefore, it is this company's intention
to cooperate with the interstate com.
merce commission in carrying 1t or, Wild:
the confident expectation that the law will
be administered fairly and intelligently."
