posed Blown to Pieces.
 HOMESTEAD, N. J., March IA dynamite explosion here at midnight killed two persons, injured at least twenty others, wrecked fifty homes in the village and shook towns and cities within a radius of ten miles.
 The dynamite was the property of Bradley X Son, contractors, who are building the Jersey end of the Pennsyl- vania railroad North river tunnel. It was stored in one story structure 9 by 40 feet in dimensions and located within a few hundred feet of where a gang of seventy-ive men were em. ployed in excayating. The engineer and watchman are missing and are supposed to be dead.
 The plant of the contractors was wrecked, 400 houses lost their win dows, while half dozen homes and Geyernaud's silk factory were other. wise damaged
 The explosion, which shook and shat tered small houses for several miles around, was heard throughout New York and even Brooklyn and Coney Island. Persons all over the country were awakened, and many rushed to the street, thinking there had been an earthquake.
 Several thousand pounds of explo- sives were stored in a number of frame buildings called the magazine. Men were engaged in removing the powder and dynamite to be used to- day in blasting operations in the tun- mel. Some two hundred pounds of powder had been placed in pile near one of the buildings when the explo- sion suddenly occurred. It is suppos- ed that a spark from some careless workman's pipe fell into some powder that had leaked from one of the cans. The explosion of the powder caused the dynamite to explode, and in an if- stant all the magazines had gone up with roar like that of volcano.
 George Johnson, watchman, is SUD- posed to have been blown to pieces. He is known to have been on duty just before the explosion. Later the only trace found of him was his hat, which was picked up from the ruins of the small tool buildings that were lev eIed.
 Mandak. another watchman, was hurled a distance of hundred feet
 The Maberti family occupied small frame house about $50 feet from the magazine Their home fell in upon them, and four of the family were se- riously injured.
 Just how much dynamite was stored in the magazine may be determined in the official investigation. Superintend- ent James McMahon of the contract ing firm was arrested charged with having in storage greater quantity of explosives than can legally be kept in one place. It was reported that the building held four tons of dynamite. There were two or more explosions, and they tore a hole eight feet deep aud twenty-four feet across in the rock.
 According to statement made to Coroner Necker by Bradley's superin- tendent. the explosion followed the blowing up of one of the air pressure boilers at the power house.

Mrs. William Thaw, pr. Evans and
 PittsburE Physicians Witnesses.
 NEW YORK, March Alt least one more dramatic. feature of the Thaw trial is foreshadowed in the appear ance on the stand of the prisoners mother, Mrs. William Thaw. It is said to be the programme of the de- fense to have Mrs. Thaw take the witness chair as did her daughter-in- law. ~
 Mrs. Thaw's testimony, it is said, will be in the line of prenatal infu- ences which made of Harry Thaw the nervous. sleepless. headstrong child de- scribed in court by the family pfiysi- clans. This week also Dr. Bingaman and Dr. Deemar of Pittsburg, who at tended Harry Thaw when he passed through severe course of infantile diseases. including St. Vitus' dance, will be put on by the defense. They will follow Dr. Charles Wagner of Pittsburg.
 When the trial opened Dr. Britton D. Evans resumed the stand, and Dis trict Attorney Jerome continued his cross examination of the alienist. Law yer Delmas spent yesterday as the guest of Dr. Evans at Morris Plains, NJ.
 Harry Thaw's Sunday in the Tomhs was meventful. He did not attend religious service and had no visitors. His mail consisted of four letters, and he wrote and sent out single letter to A. Russell Peabody of his counsel. Later MT. Peabody said that the let ter contained denial of the oft re- peated story that there had been an unplcasantness between members of the defendants family.
