Killed
Thirty People

Brazil, Ind Oct. 16-From % to 80
persons dead or dying, 100 persons in
jured and every house in Fontanet de-
stryed, rendering several hundred peo-
pie homeless, is the result of an ex-
plosion of powder in the mills of the
Dupont Powder company near Fonta-
net Tuesday. Fontanet is 10 miles
northeast of Terre Haute. The mills
are burning and the bodies of the kill
ed can not be recovered. The Big Four
railroad ran special train to the
scene Of the accident with physicians,
ard the injured arc being taken to
TerIe Haute.

der mill is missing and is supposed to
be in the debris. A state of panic pre-
walls among the residents of the sur
rounding country.
Later Report.
By the explosion of the Du Pont pow
der works between 25 and 80 persons
were killed, 600 injured and Fontanet,
town of 1000 people, wiped out.
The dead and more seriously injured
have been taken away. Five hundred
inhabitants, all more or less wounded,
remain TO gather scattered household
goods and sleep under tents, guarded
by soldiers Of the state.
Without warning the powder mills,
seven in number, blew up at 9:15 Tues
day morning. They employed 200
men, and of these rs were at work
when the first explosion occurred in
the press mill. In quick succession the
glazing mill, to corning mills and the
powder magazine blew up, followed by
the cap mill
In the magazine, situated several
hunderd yards from the mill, were
stored 1000 kegs of powder. The con-
cussion when it blew up was felt 200
miles away. Every house in the town
was destroyed. Farmbouses two miles
away and schoolhouses equally distant
were torn to pieces and their occupants
injured. Indianapolis, and even Gin
cinnati, felt the shock. A passenger
train on the Big Four railroad four
miles away had every coach window
borken and several passengers were in
jured by flying glass.
The mill went up with three distinct
explosions followed ninety minutes lat
er by fourth, even more serious than
the others when the magazines ent up.
immediately folloing the explosion,
the wreckage took fire and the inhabi-
tants of the town, who rushed to the
rescue of the mill employees, found
themselves powerless to aid those burn.

They worked frantically in constant
danger from possible succeeding explo-
sions, unmindful of their ruined homes.
Dead and dying we're picked up and
collected. Eighteen bodies horribly
burned and mangled were carted to a
protected spot to await Identification,
while the badly injured, numbering up
wards of fifty, were put on a special
train and taken to Terre Haute for hos
pital Accommodations. Scarcely one of
the 100 inhabitants of the town but
carried blood on hands and face from
his own wounds or those of people who
had required aid.

STRIKE
NEAR END
UNION TELEGRAPHERS
BREAK BACKT WORK.
PRESIDENT SMALL SAYS THERE
is NO MONEY TO CONTINUE
FIGHT.

Following the visit to Now York of
Labor Commissioner Neill, President
Small of the commercial telegraphers'
union took decisive steps to close the
telegraphers' strike. He sent the fol
lowing telegram to all of the leading
cities of the country:
New York-Prominent officials of
New York have appealed to me to
make efforts to call the strike off. All
efforts at settlement are exhausted and
the telegraph company officials say
they will fight to a finish. The treas
ury is depleted, and no more funds
are available. Requests for relief
from all sides are heavy and urgent.
The general assembly cannot meet
them. The strike having been order
ed without the presidents sanction, |
recommend that locals vote on the
proposition. SAMUEL J. SMALL"
Operators to whom the news of the
order to vote became known expressed
the opinion, however, that their cause
is by no means a lost on The union
will be preserved and strengthened
they say
Small explained his unwillngness to
say anything mere by insisting that
he did not wish to influence the vote
of locals in any way.
New Workers Not With Small.
New York-Daniel L. Russell, chair
man of the strikers board of strategy,
says that President Small had said
nothing to the members of the local
board regarding his recommendation,
either before or after the same was
made public. Mr.. Russell said that he
had protested against the strike in the
beginning, but at the same time had
said that if it was declared he would
support it to the end. This promise,
he said, he had kept, and he would
never ask the strikers to go to work
unless they received material con-
cessions.
Chicago Operators Indignant.

for vote on the proposition of the
striking photographers returning to
work aroused a storm of wrath here

mercial photographers Union of Ameri-

The following message was sent TO
