panied by Frank L. Connable superinten-
dent Of the black powder department Of
the big concern. left for Fontanet. In
diana. this afternoon to ascertain the
cause Of the catastrophe in the company s

BRANDYWINE A
SEWAGE CARRIER
Refuse From Pennsylvania
Towns Flows Into the
Stream

The city officials and members OF the
State Board Of Health, who made a trip
along the Brandywine yesterday. to H.
vestigate the alleged pollution OF that
stream, found conditions anything bu
favorable The party visited West Chester
Downinstown. Coatesville and Chadd's
Ford and arrived home about o'clock.
At West Chester and Downlngtown, the
sewage runs right into the Brandywine
creek and at Coatesville conditions are
even worse. In the two first named places
there are few sewers and consequently
the sewage that hows into the stream is
not as great as az Coatesvillc where there
IS a much better sewage system.
One nfteen-lnch pipe I'm that town. is
used TO carry of sewage Of the wors
kind and It's outlet Is IN the middle OF ~
creek, opening up where the current wiz
carry the refuse down the stream. Their
Is also a storm water sewer at that place
that Is used to carry of the rain water
running through the cutters and inlets
This rain water naturally carries down
with It the dirt and filth OF the streets
and IN this way the refuse OF the whole
town finds It's way into the Brandywlne
creek
At Downingtown, it was found that The
practice Of emptying dyes into the creek
by the paper manufacturing concerns AZ
that place had been stopped. so further
trouble from this source IS not anticipated.
The members Of the State Board OF
Health will now take up the question OF
the pollution OF the stream with the Penn
sylvania health authorities Those IN the
party We're. Water Commissioners Ben
iamin =. Shaw, William w. Knox ant

When the first explosion was heard
at 9.2O a. m, survivors say they were
about IS men in the mill. The exact
number is uncertain as Superintendent
Monanan, who assigned the men is
dead

a week ago that he had written two
letters Of resignation to the dupont
Company, but that his successor had
not vet arrived His wife, her two
sisters and a niece perished in the sup

hills overlooking the mills.
The first explosion occurred in the
glazing mill, which instantly took fire
The first blast caused general scurry
for safety and a number of the fugi-
ltives were caught while fleeing, the
second and third explosions caused by
the conclusions following before they
had time TO reach safety.

! With the first crash the ravine in.
stantly became n roaring caldron o
flame Many of the men hurled higl
] in the air by the blast plunged bacl
Into this furnace where their bodies
were completely consumed.
That more of the citizens OF Fonta'
net were not crushed to death in thl
ruins of their homes is due to the gen
eral rush to the rescue following tn
first explosion. Few of the houses col
lapsed before the second and third ex
lplosion when the people were in tn
opening escaping for the most par
with their lives.
The force of the shock was almost in

ALFRED |. DU PONT
MARRIES AGAIN
Weds Mrs. Alicia B. Maddox,
Of This City, at Cere-
mOny in New York

Alfred I DUPONT. vice-president OF the
DUPONT Powder Company, and MIS-. Alicia
Bradford Maddox were married yester-
day at the Hotel Plaza in New York city.
in the presence Of a few relatives. The
announcement came to-day as a surprise.
as it was not generally known that Mrs
Maddox had been divorced until yester-
day. Mr.. dupont obtained a divorce in
South Dakota in December last from
Mrs. Bessie G. dupont, and since then
he has been living at his country home at
Rock Farm on the Concord turnpike just
outside the city.
Mrs. Maddox. whom Mr.. DUPONT took
as his bride in New York yesterday, is
his second cousin. and daughter of
Judge Edward G. Bradford. Her first nus
band was George Amory Maddox. who u
the time of his marriage to her was a
private secretary TO Alfred /. dupont.
In April last an action in divorce in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Maddox were the
principals was entered in Superior Court
in this city. Mrs. Maddox, however went
to France where she took up her residence
and instituted an action for divorc
against her husband The divorce was
granted recently, and she was awarded
the custody Of the only child.
Mr.. DUPONT was accompanied by his
brother Maurice yesterday at the mar
riage ceremony, which was witnessed by
but a few persons. Mr.. DUPONT did no
learn of the powder explosion at Fonta
net, Indiana, until after the wedding. as
news Of it was kept from him prior to
the ceremony. Mr.. and Mrs. DUPONT will
make their home at Rock Farm.
