Explosion Felt a Hundred MILES.


Hardly a house in the thickly pop
ulated farming country within a ra.
dius of five miles from Pleasant prai-
rie, Wis, is in habitable condition as
a result of the explosion of five maga-
zines filled with dynamite and black
gunpowder in the plant of the Du.
POnt de Nemours Company.
One man, E S. Thompson. was
killed; one was seriously injured, sew
eral hundred were painfully hurt, and
the greater number of residents OF
Pleasant Prairie, Bristol, and the sur
rounding farming country have pack
ed their remaining household goods
and moved away until their home are
rebuilt.
The explosion was felt more than a
100 miles away, in Illinois, Indiana
and Michigan.
In Chicago, sixty odd miles from
the scene of the explosion, the larg
est granite buildings we're rocked "a
if by an earthquake. The tremor
caused a panic in some of the hotels
and theatres. Many persons rushed
to the streets. At Elgin, H., woman
dropped dead from fright.
The five magazines which exploded
contained $50 tons finished dynamite,
130 tons unfinished dynamite, 10000
kegs finished giant powder, $4,000
kegs unfinished giant powder.
Mr.. Bumstead, superintendent of the
powder plant, said the exact cause of
the explosion could not be learned,
but that it might have resulted from a
a hammer blow or from a broken
piece of machinery flying against the
wall or floor of the glazing or finish

That Delaware will have a highway
100 feet wide, running from the Penn
sylvania line on the north to the Mary
land line. 103 miles. on the south,
costing s1,000,000, an absolutely free
gift Of 7. Coleman Dupont, was the
report brought to Dover by Governor
Pennewill and Colonel A. r, Benson,
who had a conference with Mr.. Du-
pont at his home in Wilmington and
received the proposition.
Previously Mr.. Dupont had offered
s1,000,O0O for the construction of the
road. with the pfoviso that he be re-
paid with the increase in taxes, fol-
lowing the jump in the valuation OF
real estate by the building Of the
road.
This condition he eliminated en-
tirely in his conference with the gov
ernor and Colonel Benson, it is said,
and asked only that the state main
tain the road after it is constructed
and presented. an absolute gift.
Senator Charles R. Miller, Of Gene
raj Dupont's district, Immediately
gave notice in the senate, accepting
the gift of $1.OOO,OOO or $1,5O0,OOO,
whatever the cost may be, and ap-
pointing General Dupont or the COM
missioners whom he may name to pro-
coed and build the boulevard.
1t is doubtful if any state or cOun-
try in the world has experienced such
an offer There was some criticism OF
General Dupont's first offer to "ad
vance" S1,OO0,OOO, which doubtless
prompted the outright donation.

QUITS BANK He

Bank Examiner Objected to Lees
Leans and He Gave His Home and
Other Real Estate to Secure Debt.
Frederick H. Lee, cashier of the
Mount Holly, n. j., National bank, re
signed his position because objection
had been made to the fact that he bor-
rowed money from the bank.
Mr.. Lee had many friends on the
board who wanted him to remain as
cashier, but there were others who
thought it would be better if he re-
signed, and to avoid controversy he
did so.
The following statement was given
out by Pearson Taylor and George NJ.
Hillman, members Of the directorate,
at the close of the meeting:
"Mr. Lee has insisted upon resign
ing as cashier. His resignation was
accepted by a full board meeting. Al
bert B. Walters, former assistant
cashier, was selected to take Mr.. Lee S
place.
The total Indebtedness of Mr.. Lee
is less than $4,000 and it is amply
secured"
1t is said that Mr.. Lee borrowed
from the bank with the knowledge
and consent of several of the direc-
tors and there was nothing criminal
in the transactions. A bank examiner,
however, recently objected to them,
and the cashier gave his home, one of
the finest properties in Mount Holly,
and other real estate to secure the
debt
Il have not made up my mind just
what l shall do" said Mr.. Lee after
the board meeting. Il have good
prospects, but no definite plans for the
future. l am going to stay in Mount
Holly a while, but have severed all
connection with the bank"
The bank, it was said, will hold
Lees property for him until he is in
a position to redeem it. He was also
bonded for $4,000, and at no time
was the institution in danger of losing
money through his borrowing. Fur
thermOre, the bank has a surplus of
$S0,000 and other securities and is in
excellent condition.
Lees salary was $500 a year, but
he is said to have lived in the style
of man with a much greater income.
He and his wife entertained fire.
quently at their home here, which was
one of the centers of social activity in
the town, and both have many friends
in Philadelphia.
1t is estimated that Lee had bor-
rowed as much as $4,000 from the
bank, but the amount had been re-
duced until it is within the limit OF
the banking laws and is now so pro-
tected that the institution will not lose |
anything.
Lee has been cashier of the Mount |
