70 MEN KILLED BY
EXP LOSION OF
I BOILERS
Plant Of American Plate Co. al
Canton, Ohio
MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS
Body of One Victim was Blown
Through a House Over 700 Feet
Distant

Canton, o. May 17.-With roar
that was heard three miles away, a
battery of seven boilers at the plant
of the American Sheet and Tin Plate
company exploded this afternoon, Kill
ing from twenty to thirty men and
iniuring about fifty Among the in
iured are half dozen who, it Is said,
will probably die before morning.
Others, physicians say, cannot live.
The list of the known dead is:
George A. l4emley, catcher; --
Roger, engineer; Charles Dewitt, en-
gineer; Walter Ringenberger, heater,
George Bole, heater; Charles Brown,
heater; j. Henry catcher North In
dustry; Jack Wheeland, Harry BATH
ley, II. Lothamer Dubler; Peter VOL
goof; unidentified man. ash wheeler;
+. Dunlap, Charles Richards; unlden-
titled man.
The cause of the explosion is at
present unknown. The fireman and
engineer, who were in the boiler room
are dead. No ore else who surviy-
ed the accident can give an explana-
tiCn. One workman says that he
heard three distinct explosions in
quick succession. They came so
close, however, that Il was all over
in a minute
The force of the concussion was
terrific. The big plant is in such a
state of ruin as be practically a
total loss. A mere eggshell OF the
building is left.
Identification Of the men was diff
cult beoauseS many of them were so
mutilated that even their most in
innate friends could not recognize
the features. Heads were blown from
several bodies. Arms and legs were
torn from the trunks. Fragments Of
bodies were blown several squares
from the scene and bits of human
flesh have been picked up on porches
and roofs of houses and In trees.
There were one hundred men at
labor in the plant at the time Of the
accident and only a dozen or so es'
capped some injury. These and Others
who rushed 20 the plant as soon as
the disaster became known worked
heroically to rescue the Injured from
the ruins. The ruins soon took fire
but the fire department extinguished
the flames.

ROUND HOUSE SITE
WILL COST FROM
$4,000 TO$9OOO
Property on Which Railroad
Company Proposed to Build
IF VILLAGE BOUGHT LAND
Expense so Great that companys
Agent Deemed It InadvlsabIe to
Further Consider Project

There was a special meeting of the
village board OF trustees last evening
called for the purpose of hearing the
report of the committee to whom had
been referred the matter of the pur-
chase of a round house for the Rut-
land Railroad company. President
Martin occupied the chair and all the
trustees were present with the excep-
ton Of Trustee Barratt. Village
Clerk Hogan and Village Attorney
Meagher were also In attendance.
Trustee Nash for the committee
reported that two consultations had
been held with the railroad company
engineers. A survey of the land
south OF the Bennington Gas Light
companys plant had been made and
from a plan submitted it appeared
that about 1-3 acres of land would
be necessary In order that side tracks
could be run to the proposed round
house from both directions. Chair
man Nash stated that the owners of
the land were not anxious to sell the
property but would dispose of 1t at
price of $500 to $4,000 an acre.
Trustee Holden stated that to div
ide the land as the railroad company
desired would leave an undesirable
strip near the track of the Hoosac
! Valley division of the Bennington &
North Adams electric road and for
this reason the owners would not
wish TO make a sale unless the entire
track were sold.
Claims Agent George r. McMasters
OF the railroad company, who was
present, stated that he did not be-
lieve the village would be justified
In taking any action involving as It
would an expenditure of between
! $4,000 and $4,000 and he thought it
useless TO call special village meet
| ing TO consider the matter
The report of the committee was
accepted and the committee was dis
charged. After some further discus
sion the roposll was laid on the Ia
bic indefinitely.
Harrison l. Norton appeared before
the board as the representative OF
residents living IN the vicinity OF

ILLUMINATION BY THE COMET
Prof. Todd Of Amherst Looks For
Spectacular Effect.

Boston. Mass, May 1S.-Tonight
viii be great time for the comet"
said Prof. David Todd of Amherst
College yesterday 1t will be bet
ter in the eastern hemisphere than
here, but there is a chance that some
grand illumination will take place,
We do not know exactly what 10 ex-
pect, but we are going to watch every
minute.
Next Monday il the sky is clear,
will be the best time TO view the
comet. II will be visible IN the eve
ming. The moon will be relapsed
and the comet will have the whole
heavenly field to itself, with no sun
or moon to hide 70,
when the earth passes through
the comets tail. and it may be doing
il in part today the experience viii
be no more startling than putting
your finger through the beams OF a
searchlight.
The tail today was divided into
two parts: one faint. the other quite
brilliant. The one pointing north
was the brighter. The other is the
one We may be passing through to-
day.
Between the two tails. for they
were really two, was dark space OF
sky probably three degrees wide. AS
remember II, this was the first dis.
tinct picture Of double tail that
have seen thus far.
1T will be worth while staying up
tonight The sun may relapse the
main part OF the comet In the morn
ing and there may be no meteorites
or shooting stars.
There is chance that the tail OF
the comet will flare up and make q

EARTH SIX HOURS
IN COMETS TAIL
TONIGHT
Will Probably Enter Tail About
Eleven O'clock
AURORAL EFFECT PROBABLE
II Cloudy as Is Forecasted by Wealth
err Department Nothing Will
Be Visible

New York, May 1S.-For six hours,
beginning at 1880 tonight, New York
time, according to the best calcula-
tions, this earth will pass through the
tail of Halley's comet. But whether
there will be much or any ocular
demonstration Of the fact to the or
binary man not well versed in astro-
nomy Is very much in doubt.
Accepting the estimate of Director
Campbell of the Lick Observatory
that the diameter of the comets tail
will be 100000 miles along the line
OF the earth's transit, it may be cal
culated that the earth in the passage
will encounter $4,000, 100000, 600 cubic
miles OF the tail.
Prof. Campbell thinks the tail con-
tains not more than a single solid par
,icle or gaseous molecule to the cubic
yard. 1t is simple ca culation to de-
termine that on this memorable jour
ney we shall encounter PCS sextillions
of these particles or rlolecules. In
figures this looks imposing thus:
100000, ooo,o ooeo- 100000
Assuming the molecules TO be the
deadly poison cyanogen gas, which
has been found in the spectrum OF the
tail, these figures lool alarming, until
II Is recalled that the physicists esti-
mate that II would require ten thous-
and sexiillions OF cyanOgen molecules
TO weigh one pound. Il therefore APP
pears that the forty-eight trillion Gu
bic miles OF the tail which we shall
encounter will weigh almost exactly
4 one-half of one ounce
Evidently the astronomers have a
poor opinion of comets tails
Harold Jacoby. Rutherford Profes-
/ sor of Astronomy at Columbia Uniyer-
Z sity gave his advice TO comet parties
last night:
Parties desiring to sit out
through the period OF contact with
the comets tail, should consult their
! own convenience and remain out as
long as they are enjoying the expert
ence. They viii have as good a time
as the hotel they happen to choose
provides in the way OF dinner, music
and good company
In case parties do not care ,tC
venture upon the hotel roofs, the next
best thing IS to gather on Riverside
Drive. The view Of the Hudson with
It's steamships passing up and down
will relieve the monotony of waiting
for something to happen aloft, ant
will make an evening worth while OF
its own account"
Prof Jacoby himself will not re
main near mis- telescopes, for he says
the period Of contact with the com
cts tail will be one that presents n,
job for q telescope His intention Il
to visit one OF the hotel roofs earll
in the evening just to see what inter
est the people have In the comets
tail. and later TO mingle with IN,
crowd along the Hudson bank. Ate
he retlres he will look over the stuei
with his naked eye from time to tlm'
to see IT perchance any faint glow 4
disceTnible
There Is a chance that nothing
p not even meteors-may be visible. TO
last night the weather man announc
ed for New York's weather today
Showers Wednesday. cooler In north
