Contact Of Molten
Stag and. Water .
the Cause.
HEARD FAR OFF

With reports that startled the
country in this section for miles in
every direction, even on Staten Is
land, two explosions occurred at the
C. Pardee Works last night.
The explosions were caused by the
dumping of ladle of molten Stag on
some damp ground. The Stag is
dumped at intervals nightly on the
ground near the plant, and, as usual,
last night the workmen ran the hot
Stag into the pit. The bottom of the
pit was either wet or covered with
water, for hardly had the Stag touch
ed the ground when two terrific eX-
plosions took place, and alarmed res
idents in every part of the city.
1t was reported last night that one
man had been hurt by the explosion
and that the side of building had
been blown out. superintendent c..
H. Edwards, this morning, positively
declared that no one had been hurt,
and said that 500 would cover the
damage, which consisted of number
of broken panes of glass.
Slight explosions occur" said Mr..
Edwards, after every dumping, but
the accident last night was caused by
the ground being damp"
Mr.. Edwards said he was on the
scene Immediately after the explo-
sions took place, and he denied en-
phatically that any one was hurt, al
though reports to"the contrary were
circulated.
AS near as can be learned the eX-
plosions occurred at exactly 1880
o'clock, and in every part of the city,
people heard the noise and rushed in
to the streets Many thought their
furnaces had blown up and hurried
to cellars to Investigate. At the city
hall the reports were plainly heard,
and man sitting in the police sta
tion immediately ran to Collector
Crowell's office, thinking the safe had
been blown open. Some said the
powder works at Parlin had blown
up, while others declared the explo-
sion had sounded in the vicinity of
the gas works or. the Raritan Copper
Works, or that the Fords Corner in
ventor was experimenting again.
Many pedestrians on the streets were
badly frightened, and some even
ducked their heads.
At Tottenville and South Amboy,
the explosions were plainly heard.
People at the churches were also star
tied, and their fears lasted some time.
1t seemed as though thes houses
shook
The telephone wires were kept
busy for some time after the noise,
and on nearly every street people
could be seen gesturing and inquiring
of neighbors what had caused the re-
ports. When it was learned that the
explosions had occurred at the Par
dee plant, many were surprised and
declared it had sounded in an entirely
different locality.
Patrolman Hanson was on the
scene shortly afterward and reported
to the sergeant on duty that fore
man had told him that man had
been slightly injured.
