Mill Plant Burned

The large planning mill and variety
works owned and operated by the
Madison Lumber Co., was totally
consumed by fire last Saturday nigh
1t was about tea O'Clock when the
alarm first sounded and before the
citizens Of the town could reach the
scene the large mill structure was 0
perfect sheet Of flame and all efforts
to save it from destruction we're seen
to be hopeless.
The f.eis thought to have origin
ated from a spark thrown BY the
engine Of the west bound Seaboard
train. This found Judgment in a
pile Of shavIngs and the wind famed
the smoldenng spark into flames
which quickly enyeloped the entire
structure. Work at the mill was
shut dow at 9 o'clock and every
thing was safe when the hands de-
parted.
The loss amounts to probably SID
600 with insurance, we are told, Of
less than 81 900.
The destruction Of this plant re-
moves from Madison one Of its most
important and appreciated industries
and we sincerely hope that it may
soon be replaced.

KILLED %.
Ten Tons OF Dynamite Blew Up at
Powder Works.

Berkeley, Cal, Feb. 21.-With a
force that shook the entire bay region
like an earthquake the packing house
of the Hercules Powder Works at Pr
mole, fourteen miles north Of here,
blew up at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and in the explosion four white
men and twenty-four Cinnamon were
killed
Ten tons of dynamite went up in the
terrific blast, shattering the sheds to
dust and splinters.
W. w. Stillwell. foreman of the
packing house. was blown to atoms at
his post of duty.
Manuel Enos, Joseph Grace and w.
A. Rodregues were the other white
men killed. The twenty-eight dead in
c1ude every man who was at work in
the packing house.
Flames burst forth in the ruins, fol-
lowing the explosion and threatened
the gelatine house, where two-score
of girls were at work. A panic ensued,
and many were cut by flying glass and
crushed and trampled in the mad rush
for the doors.
The families of the men who daily
risk their lives at the powder plant
came running from the little hamlet
of Pinole, seeking news of loved ones.
The danger of an additional explosion
prevented those who escaped injury
from approaching too near the wreck,
and it was not until late in the even
ing that the number of dead and in
jured was known.
Charles Birmingham. the superin-
tendent of the plant, took charge of
the mine following the explosion An
armed guard was thrown around the
powder works, and no one was allow
ed to get within the danger line. A fire
fighting brigade was organized, and in
the face of the hazards that might
have meant death for Birmingham or
any of his men the flames were fought
down, and most of the plant not torn
to tatters by the explosion was saved.
AS far away as Berkeley and Oak
land the shock of the explosion caused
| intense excitement. People rushed
from thier houses and places of BUSH
ness thinking another earthquake had
come.
The Hercules plant is owned by the
Dupont-Neours Powder Trust, and is
| used for the manufacture Of black
powder of high explosive power. The
loss to the company is placed at about
| 100000.
| AS is usual in such cases, no definite
| cause for the accident can be given.
