Savan Mills Blown UP.

FoNrANEr, Ind, Oct. l5.--Probably 40
persons dead. almost as many fatally burned
or hurt, 600 others more or less seriously IN
jured and "a prosperous town leveed to the
earth-such was the harvest of series OF ter,
rifying explosions at the Dupont Blasting
Powder Mills, near Fontanei this morning.
After the explosions, which followed one
another with CHASTITY effect, came flre. and
what the one horror left undone the other
completed. Thus many persons who might
have been dragged from the ruins and revived
were victims Of the fumes. How many
bodies have been incineratpd is matter OF
guesswork, but up to this evening the fatal
ties were believed to be fewer than so.
The shock and defamation were indescriba,
BILE. The ground shook aud for miles around
buildings rocked as if riding seismic swell.
Cities, towns and farming communities, some
as much as 200 miles away were affected.

A Further Respite for Royal Fowler.

Royal Fowler, native of this city. who is
imprisoned in the Annex of the Ohio Peni-
tertiary at Columbus, under sentence of
death for murder of Mamie Hagerty, at Day
ton, O., may be granted further respite.
The date for his execution was set for some
time in August but the Governor granted a
stay, until October Is. His case, however, is
TO be taken up by the Board Of Pardons for
investigation. and as that does not meet till
Oct II, the time will be too short to make
proper inquiry into the facts and circumstan
ces of the murder, and it is understood the
board will ask the Governor for further stay.
but it is probable that Fowler will eventually
meet his death in the electric chair
