Explosion of Twenty Pounds Wrecks
Building ut Fayetteville.

Fayetteville, \. c., Dec. 2.-The
office OF the Fayetteville Ice and
Manufacturing Company was COM
pletely wrecked and the windows and
window frames Of nearby DWELLINGS
blown from the walls to-day, when
twenty pounds Of dynamite exploded
during preparations for blasting one
ratiOns by II. W. Alternately, an cX-
pert from Charlotte, who, with his
clothing ablaZc, fed from the range
OF the double explosion in time to
escape with his life. The explosions
occurred at intervals Of about one
minute, the cOnCuSSiOn Of the first
discharge being felt more than a mile
from the scene Of the blasting.
hbcrnathcy, in preparing to ex-
pl0dc one hundred and fifty pounds of
dynamite in an artcsian well i'm order
TO obtain greater flow Of water, was
engaged in soldering together five
tubes Of the explosive, when a tube
containing fifty pounds Of dynamite
caught fire from the soldering iron.
The heat from the blaze set off the
caps Of two smaller tubes.
The officers and Office employees Of
the company had previously vacated
the building at the end Of the plant
near which the blasting was being
done, and there were no casualties.
Had all the one hundred and fifty
pounds Of dynamite exploded. the re-
suit is difficult to contemplate.
Eighty-fve pounds OF the dynamite
was consumed by the flames.

TRIUMPH FOR PROSECUTION.

The confessions Of the McNamaras
at San Francisco last Friday came
as surprising climax to the trial
that has been in progress for months
without attaining the stage OF secur-
ing jury. 1t is we'll, we believe,
that the two men have made confess
sion of their guilt. but it is by no
means certain what wcighty consid-
erations induced these men-crimi"
mails at heart and by practice--to
forego trial and confess their guilt.
We cannot but believe that there is
more than the mere Saving OF a
neck" at stake. The McNamaraS, we
believe. are not the only misguided
and criminally inclined evolves in
cheep's clothing within the ranks OF
the Federation OF Labor. Having
gotten AS far as a confession, it is to
be hoped that these men will later
he induced to tell all they know,
bringing to justice all those who, like
themselves, have worked in a mis-
guided way along illegal and crlmi-
nal lines to bring about betterment
OF labor conditions.
The McNamaraS, and the few 9TH
ers OF their way OF thinking, have
done the cause OF labor more harm
than the great mass Of honest and
honorable men who represent organ
lied labor can undo for years to come
hot that the cause Of labor has
been irreparably hurt, for it has not
But the Mcnamara stigma will last
for years to come, and it will operate
against the cause OF organized labor
as an open sore.
What remains to be brought to
light, however. is Of greatest import
anCe to the cause Of labor in the
United States, That there are others
whose hands are as deeply stepped in
blood as those Of the McNamaras we
do not doubt; but we cannot believe
that they will be found among the
men "higher up" Nor are we ready
to believe the theory Of at least part
OF the prosecution that such men as
Samuel Gompcrs had even guilty
knowledge OF these crimes committed
in the name Of organized labor. Mr..
Gompers is but human. and has often
erred, but the record Of the man
points to him as high above such
methods and incapable Of crime
That, from the innocence Of his own
heart, in the consciousness Of his own
integrity, he has been wofully i'm
posed upon, is our firm belief, and
the near future, we feel sure, will
find him aligned perfectly with the
prosecution, throwing the weight OF
his own great personality, and the
strength Of the thousands he repre-
scnts, into the breach that has been
made, working to tho end that JUS
ticc may be done, that right may pre-
vail, with the maxim ever before
him, "ticw to the line; let the Chirs
fall where theI may"
Mr.. Gompers, US the great head
and leader Of American organized la
hor, can assume no other course if
he is to continue to walk and lead
the thousands who look to him for
advice and counsel. in the path OF
honor and justice that he has over
held to view as the great end and
aim OF organization in the ranks of
labor.
