MANY KILLED
IN EXPLOSION
BALL GAME CROWD WATCHING
FIRE IN POWDER PLANT
SLAIN AND MANNED.
Ottawa, Ont, May 9.-Ten is
the number of dead and fifty in
jured, some seriously, by the ex-
pIosion here Sunday.

Ottawa, Canada, May 9.-An explo-
the General Explosives company OF
Canada, near Hull, Quebec, killed be-
tween fifteen and twenty persons and
injured fifty others. The force Of the
explosion was terrific. The country
for miles around was laid waste and
many small dwellings in the city of
Hull, on the side nearest the scene of
the explosion, were fattened to the
ground
A baseball game was in progress a
short distance from the powder works.
The teams were playing the last in.
nings and when a fire was seen in one
of the small buildings Of the powder
plant the crowds began to swarm up
the hill to get better view Of the
blaze. Warning of the danger to the
Lonlookers came in two minor explO-
sions soon after the fire got well un-
der way. "A shower Of sparks and
fragments Of the wrecked buildings
fell among the spectators and there
was a scurrying out of what was con-
sidered the danger zone.
Some of the men In the crowd who
were aware of the possibilities of the
danger when the main magazine was
reached, pleaded with the crowd to go
still further back, and some Of them
needed the warning. Others, appar.
emily enjoying the element of danger
in the spectacle, stood within 1000
yards of the burning building. They
were kept on the qui vive by explo-
sions which sent showers of burning
brands in all directions.
The baseball game broke up ond the
remainder of the spectators and the
players rushed up to join the crowd at
the fire. 1t was then that the main
magazine exploded. There were two
stunning detonations. Everything
within a radius Of mile and half
was torn and shattered. Giant trees
were snapped off close to the earth;
barns and dwelling houses were con-
verted into kindling wood, and even in
Ottawa, four miles from the scene,
hundreds of plate glass windows were
Lroken.
The scene where the crowd from the
ball field stood resembled battle
field. Headless, armless and legless
bodies, were lying about among scores
of unconscious forms. To the few
who retained flicker of conscious
ness it appeared as though over
hundred had been killed.
