Terrific Blast at Aetna Felt
for Miles Whirls Work
man to Eternity.
VANISHES COMPLETELY
No Vestige Of Man Nor Building
Found After Smoke Clears
Away.

An explosion occurred at the Aetna
Powder works at Miller's Station this
morning that resulted in the death of
John Reiss, aged 35 and single, who
was blown to atoms.
The shock Of the explosion was felt
for miles around the powder works and
was especially noticeable at Gary,
where many people thought they felt a
slight earthquake shock.
Reiss, who was the only victim of
the accident, went into one of the lit
tie shanties where the explosives are
processed and was drawing off a large
quantity OF the "oil," when, in some
manner that will always remain a
mystery, the nitroglycerine exploded
and the man and shed were blown out
of existence.
Nothing to Show But Hole.
It is said that Reiss was torn into
such small pieces that 1t will be i'm
possible to find all of his body All
that remains to show the location of
the shed is a great yawning hole in
the ground.
1t was one of those sad affairs that
happen so frequently where men take
their lives in their hands every day
and handle the deadly explosives that
are made at Aetna.
Matches are not allowed on the
grounds of the plant and smoking is
always prohibited. but some times a
slight concussion will set off a large
quantity of the explosive.
The victim of the accident boarded
at the Aetna boarding house, which is
located in the vicinity of the plant
Following the explosion a number
of conflicting reports were circulated
placing the dead anywhere from five
to twenty five. Inquiry. however, re-
vealed the fact that these reports were
greatly exaggerated and that outside
of the one man killed not a soul was
injured.

W. AHLBORN GETS JOB
Local Contractor Ends Suspense By
Putting in Rough Estimate at
Last Moment.

At meeting of the board of local
improvements yesterday afternoon at
the West Hammond village hall, the
long pending contract for sidewalks,
was let to William Ahlborn, a West
Hammond contractor. The approxi-
mate cost will be over $4,000 and work
will be begun next Monday.
Ever since the last of February the
matter of letting the contract for the
cfnder sidewalks has been the topic of
conversation in West Hammond and
the board even wrote to Chicago con-
tractors, asking them to please put in
bid on the work, but none of them
answered, although one Chicago con-
tractor did come out and look over the
ground.
1t began to look like the village
would not be able to get any one to
take the contract at any price.
still No Bids.
Yesterday afternoon the board met
to open bids. but none were there tc
open. Ahlborn therefore made a rude
estimate and put in his bid and the
board acted Immediately and the con-
| tract was let
Now that the village Is sure OF new
sidewalks. the matter of extending the
sewer system will be taken up at the
meeting of the board of local improve
ment that Will be held tomorrow al

This morning President Max said he
did not have any objection to the pro.
posed extension If the matter woulG
only be placed in the hands of another
attorney beside Markham. The mem.
bers of the board say they are getting
tired of Mak's childish tactics.

RAILWAY LIQUOR LICENSES.
New York Central Takes Out Three
for Indiana Lines.

In compliance with the Stevenson act.
which viii become a law along with
the other acts of the last Legislature,
the New York Central has taken out
three $1,000 liquor licenses, one for
the Big Four one for the Michigan
Central and one for the Lake Shore.
The act requires railroads to pay ST.
00e license fees for carrying liquor on
their dining and buffet cars.
Several of the railroads are debating
what they shall do regarding the new
law. Their business is not great
enough. they say, to pay them for the
expenditure, but they are unwilling TO
compel their patrons to remain thirsty
while trsyeling throughout this state.
On some Of the smaller roads it is like
ly that prohibition will be the rule.

BREAKS CASE OF EASTER EGGS

Andrew Stahl. a farmer living about
IL miles south of this city, came to
Hammond Saturday with twenty dozen
of eggs which he intended to sell to
the trade here to help supply the Eas-
ter market.
All went we'll until Stahl got into
Hammond and tried to turn out of the
street car tracks on Silbley street when
a wheel broke and the whole case of
eggs was precipitated to the pavement.
There was enough egg shampoo on
the street to give the treatment to
both of the horses, and when the few
eggs that had escaped being smashed
were picked up, the farmer saw that
the profits of his load had disappeared
The wreck of the wagon is still in
the street.

CITY FIREMEN STAY IN.

The wallxout of the city fremen did

some time ago that they would
strike in case there was no change
in their days off" While there has
not been a change made so far, still
encouraging promises have been held
out to the firemen by the board of pub
lie works and the city council which
will materialize in the near future.
The best of harmony prevails accord

TO DECIDE SEWER QUESTION.

The West Hammond village board
will meet this afternoon for the pur-
pose of conferring with President Max
IN regard to the proposed extension of
the West Hammond sewers. 1t has
been limited that Mak's only reason for
not signing the ordinance. which he
refused to do Saturday, is a desire on
his part for graft Max. however. de-
clares that his objection to the work
is, that if it is passed. Village Attor-
ney Markham VIII come in for $500 in

men from sin to Righteousness. No

The result Of this is to diminish
