Bodies Horribly Mangled


The accident was one OF the most
horrible in the history Of Lancaster
county. The victims were literally
torn to pieces, hardly enough remain
ing of the bodies to make identifica-
tion possible.
The cause of the explosion is not
known Two of the unidentified vic
tins had Just started to drive from
fhe place with a load OF dynamite.
They had gone scarcely fifty feet when
the plant blew up with a detonation
that was plainly heard fifteen miles
away. A great cloud OF smoke COW
it cleared away there was not a
yestige of the horses, wagon or men.
Fragments of human human dobies
were. found hanging to trees 1Oo yards
away.
Injured Taken to Homes
Persons living near the factory be-
gan the work of rescue, but there
were few in the place who had not
been blown to atoms. The remains
of these were gathered up and placed
in soap boxes, Identification being i'm
possible. The injured, some OF whom
it is thought will die, were taken to
their homes in the immediate vicinity.
George and BENJAMIN Rineer, who
were killed, were sons OF Martin
Rineer, one of the injured.
The plant consisted of dozen
buildings. All. were blown to pieces
except a remote structure in which
seven girls were at work. The factory
was owned by G. r. McAbee & Co.,
of P. tsburg, and manufactured ex-
plosives for use in the Pennsylvania
railroad construction work.

KNOCKS ON RATE BILL.
President HadIey Says It Is Better
Than a Compromise.

Boston, Feb. 2f-The Ely ening Trans
Crypt today publishes an article by
PRESIDENT Arthur T Hadiey of yale
university on the present status of the
Iate regulation contest in Washington.
1t Hadley AYERS that the proposition
OF the Hepburn bill to make the eiecis-
ions Of the interstate commission final
IN all questions of fact is illogical and
1mpracticable. He declares that a sim
lar Fan tried il England in the seven
ties did not work and was finally le-
pealed. He declares that the common
law gives the shipper more prosecti u.
than statutes as was shown in the Ches-
apeake & Ohio coal case recently de-
cided by the supreme court. Yet, in
spite Of these considerations Presid enr
Hadley expresses the belief that the
passage Of the Hepburn bill would be
better than any compromise thus far
suggested. He says in part.
In the first place, If the railroad men
attempt to have the bill modified 1t viii
be regarded as a selfish effort to block
the wheels of legislation for their own
private interest. This is always n blum
der, From the standpoint Of railway
management alone. the good from pre-
venting the passage Of the Hepburn bill
would not be nearly as great as the
harm which would come from assuming
an attitude of Fictitious opposition. The
Hepburn bill will not greatly hurt the
railroads If anybody is much harmed
