Dortmund, Germany, Nov. $3.50
far as can be ascertained "a persons
were killed, ninety six were danger
ously wounded and several hundred
were slightly wounded as result OF
the explosion of the roburst factory
near Amen.
AT the time of the explosion 600
boxes, each containing so pounds OF
roburite, were stored in the factory
The great force of the explosion was
felt as far as Dortmund, 10 miles from
the scene of the disaster, where a
large number of windows were brok-
en-.
On the main road to Amen all the
houses were razed to the ground, the
bodies of the killed being terribly mu-
tilated.

sleeping children from their beds, col
lected their portable possessions and
fed from the collapsing houses.
A second explosion occurred at 6
O'Clock in the morning Among the
killed were the burgOmaster and po-
lice inspector of the town of Wyttan,
in the vicinity of the robruite factory.
The manager Of the factory was
badly injured, bur was able to direct
the work of rescue, which was only
possible at long range, as two hun
dred weight of dynamite was stored
in the powder rooms.
An eye witness of the disaster says
that firebroke out in the roburite fac
tory at 1880 o'clock and that when the
Krupp's fire brigade from the neigh
boring town of Amen arrived on the
scene at o'clock, the firemen had
to retire, as other explosions threat
ened.
Shortly after their arrival flames
broke out and the neighboring Krupp
works were slightly damaged.
Experts declared that considering
the great precautions with which the
explosives were stored, the disaster
could only have resulted from some
outrage.
Emperor William has directed Gen
eral Won Scholl to visit Amen and
Wytten and has subscribed Sc, 255 for
the relief of the sufferers.

Dispatcher Davis was alive when he
was taken from under the wreckage
lie was crushed about the lower por-
ton of the body and was conscious
until the end. He asked that word
be sent to his wife and child. The
l death of Mr.. Davis was touching. He
stated to his rescuer that he knew
ne was dying and knew that the END
could not be far or
Place your finger on my mouth: il
feels so cool and good -
He pleaded with =Ie gentleman
who was also a passenger on the
| train, not to leave, and for ten min
| utes this man stayed with him. un-
I'll he saw that nothing could be done
| for him. One of the worst phases
of the accident was the --feartless
manner in which a few passengers
and some of the attaches, especially
/ some OF the porters OF the Atlanta
train, ransaeked the wrecked cars for
plumber.
| F. M. Curtis, of jamestown, n
t Z, who was passenger on the Jack
| sonville train, saw one negro porter
| 90 through a ladys grip. He saw
him throw away such things as were
| OF no value to MIN and APPROPRIATE
those things that he wanted. Mr..
| Curtis declared that he would have
! certainly killed the porter if he had
| had something to do it with.
Not few passengers engaged in
this ghoulish business, and a large
number of valuables and much mon
ey which was scattered about the
wrecked train were taken.
Mr.. Curtis, who was on his way
10 High Point, n. c., on a business
| mission, was the hero of the hour
1t was claimed by some of his fell
low passengers that to his work and
| generalship belongs the credit of the
rescue OF dozen persons who would
| have perished but for his efforts.
AS soon as the news of tie wreck
| was received here, Doctors Terrell
| and Carroll were taken to the scene
| on a special train. They gave at
tention TO the wounded and one hour
later other doctors went on another
special. One of the fire engines of
the Lynchburg department was load
ed on fiat car and hurried 10 the
wreck to extinguish the flames among
the wreckage. The engines and fire
men could not be spared fro mthe
fire on Main street, hence they did
not go to Lawyer until later.
On account Of the train with the
injured passengers having the track
between Rangon, the nearest tele-
graph Office north of the wreck, and
the scene of the accident, it was af-
10 o'clock before the news reached
Lawyer
The cause of the wreck cannot be
learned now, but it is understood
that the operator in charge of the
block office at Rangoon, 4 miles north
of the scene, allowed the Atlanta
train to enter the block before he had
been given a clear track from the
next block system at Lawyer depot.
3 miles below Why the operator
allowed the train to pass his block
is not known, and will hardly be
known by the railroad company be-
fore an official investigation can be
had
The operator OF the block at this
point has disappeared and cannot be

gro Soldiers Are Lauded by the Me-
gro Preachers.
New York, Nov. 3O.-At a union
thanksgiving service, in which the
members of four negro churches OF
this city participated, President
Roosevelt was denounced for his ac-
tlon IN dismissing three companies of
negro soldiers from the United States
army. AT the conclusion of the SER
vice, which was held at the Mount
OliVet Baptist church, nearly every
one present made a contribution 10 q
fund, which is being raised for the
relief OF the dismissed soldiers.
The sermon of the day was preach
ed by Rev. w. H Brooks, pastor of
st. Marks African Methodist Episco-
pal church.
IN the course of his address he said !:
1t has been the pretense and con-
tentton of the south that the shift
less and ignorant negro was the one
she despised, but the real south an
peared in her true cOlors when she
took pains to run down, humiliate
and outrage the most intelligent
thrifty and upright people of the COM
munity. This was scarcely over be-
fore the Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton covered himself with eternal
shame and disgrace by his unjust.
unkind, undemomcratic, un-American
and czarOcratic cold, cruel, drastic
and Infamous orders against as brave
as heroic, as self sacrificing a set
of men as ever wore the blue or bore
Old Glory on field of strife.
I'VE will not be resenlful. not re-
vengeful. but we are bold enough to
denounce the act as an outrage and
aggressive enough to demand Justice
at the highest court of earth and be-
fore the bar of Heaven. Let him of
the square deal deal square, him
OF the fair play play fair; him of
the door of opportunity not shut it
and bolt it forever In the face of black
veterans.
Has the worlds peace maker lost
his head and tired of his job that he
can ruthlessly mistreat a suffering
hysterical woman on the one hand
and outrage a battalion of soldiers on
the other-sOldiers to whose faithful
ness he owes his life? If preach
ing on comrades Is such a soldierly
virtue, he should have a chair of
peacheharmest in West Point, Annap-
oils and especially at Harvard
But, in spite of all, we have rea-
son to be thankful, for again we have
disappointed the world, for the SOL
dters in disgrace have acted as brave
men. not restful children; thankful
that the press of the country, with
few exceptions has condemned such
drastic measures; that the conserva-
tive people north and south, do not
countenance such imputive actions.
IF a Republican congress refuses
to correct the wrongs thus inflicted
every black man in the south ought to
pack up his belongings and move to a
doubtful state and vote the whole
thing out of existence. 1t is by the
ballot box and not by vengeance We

to cool

Take four eggs, one and one-hal1
cupfuls of brown sugar, one cuptul
of butter. one-half cupful of mOlasses
and one cupful of sour milk. Stir all
together until smooth, then add one
teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves
and allspice, and one of soda dissolved
in tablespoonful of boiling water;
then three and one-half cupfuls OF
flour. Get the flour in as quickly as
possible after putting in the soda, and
beat the cake vigorously for two min
utes. Now stir in one heaping cupful
of currants that have been washed
and rolled in flour, also half cupful
of citron chopped very fine, and one
cupful of chopped hickory nuts. Put
the cake in the tin, in layers, and on
every layer put a layer of seeded rails
ms that have been dredged with flour,
pressing them down into the dough.
Use one and one-half cupfuls of the
stoned raisins in this manner. BY so
doing, you get them evenly distrib-
uted, and none of them touch the tin
on the sides of the cake. If they do,
they are apt to burn before the cake
is done. The cake tin should be lined
with white paper, well buttered, and
brown paper should be spread over the
top to keep it from burning Have
the oven quite hot, at first, then let
it gradually become cooler. The cake
