The effect of the change is that tl:e

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Fifty Pound Reg Of Dynamite Ex-
: plodes.

i Richmond, Va Jan: h6 John
tRowel, colors9, an employe of the
Callahan Construction Company, was
blown to atoms at $50 o'clock yes
! terday morning when so pound kee
of dynamite exploded at a point on
the Southern Railway about 200 YARD,
south west of the Belle Isle brs5ge,
where the construction company is
engaged in excavation work for the
Southern Railway.
Rowel arrived at work Yesterday
morning at the usual time, and, find
ing that the dynamite which was to
be used in blasting, had been frozen
over night, took the keg of expo-
sive across the rairoai tracks, and,
sitting it down near the river banks,
built fire to thaw it out.
His attention was distracted from
the fire for moment or two in
some way and the blaze got too near
the dynamite.
Rowell was staining few feet
from the explosive when suddenly it
exploded with powerful detonation
which was heard for miles distant.
Rocks were thrown up high into the
air in great quantity, while the
earth, where the dynamite exploded
was torn into massive hole.
SO powerful was the concussion of
in nearly every case the window
glasses of the Manchester pumphouse,
located about one hundred yards
away, were shivered into bits, ami
in nearly every case the windod
sashes were Jared completely out
Of their holdings. The building of the
pumphouse looked like cyclone had
struck 1t.
The hole made by the dynamite 60
ing off was round and about ten feet
IN diameter and about six feet deep.
When other workmen, who fortu-
nately, were a good distance away
when the explosion occurred, ran to
the scene of the explosion they could
find not the slightest trace of Rowell,
who was literally torn into atoms A
few pieces Of the overalls that the
unfortunate negro wore were picked
up about fifty feet from the blast.
