The first explosion in the Glazing
Mill was quickly followed in the 9th

lives. At the first explosion the
town inhabitants ran from the
building, thus saving themselves and
no one was killed in the town, al
though not single building is left
standing. Ninety minutes after the
first explosion the heat from the
burning mills exploded the great
powder mazagines severaly yards
away. A freight train on the switch
was partly destroyed by the concus-
sion and caught fire. The neat from
the burning mills made the removal
of the bodies impossible. Eighteen
mangled bodies were taken to the
morgue to await Identification. The
injured were found everywhere. The

many buildings we're blown to atoms.

SHOT NEGRO WOMAN.
ONLY a Short Time Before She Tried
to Kill DR.. Linder-A Remark
able Case.

Union, Oct. 15.r-At one o'clock
this afternoon DR.. Will L. Linder,
prominent young physician OF this
city, shot three times Lucy Lipsey,
a negro woman, who, going to his
office on the morning Of March 25, of
this year, shot him in the back with
out warning. The weapon used to-
day by DR.. Lindler was a 32-callbre
pistol, one ball entering the right
breast and the second slightly below.
It is understood that the wounds are
considered mortal, and the end will
come soon.
The shooting occurred on Main
street, DR. Linder being on the side
walk and the woman in the door Of
Swisert's cash store, in the act OF
coming out. AS Dr. Linder fired the
shots, his father, DR.. S. S. Llnder,
chanced to be coming up Main street
and was only short distance away.
He sprang towards him and attempt
ed to prevent him from firing another
shot. In the slight struggle that ensu-
ed DR.. S. S. Linder is said to kave
called for help and was heard by DR..
NJ. D. Huiett, who was in the Palmet-
to Drug Company, two doors below.
DR.. Huiett ran to his assistance and
was handed the pistol by DR.. Will
Linder.
AS she was shot the woman is said
to have fallen to the pavement and,
falling. cried out fMy God, I'm
dead" Her sister, who mad been in
the store with her, caught her as she
fell.
In a short while DR.. J. H. Hamil-
ton and DR.. Hardy reached her side
and after an examination she was
placed in a hack and taken to the
Rice Drug Co.. and then to her home
near the old baseball grounds.
Immediately after the unfortunate
affair DR.. Linder. with his father
went to Chief Of Police Long and
surrendered himself. He was turned
over to Sheriff Sanders by Chief
