Wilmington, Del.-Thirty workmen
were killed and seven fatally injured
Tuesday in a terrific explosion of four
tons of black powder at the Upper
Hagley yard of the Du Pont Powder
Company. 1t was the worst accident
that has occurred in any of the COM
pany's plants in a quarter of cen
fury. The cause of the blast is not
known
According to statement issued by
the company, the origin will probably
always remain mystery Neverthe-
less most severe investigation has
been instituted by the officials of the
company.
Reports have been current here for
several days that notices had been
found nailed to trees and fences along
the roads leading to both the Hagley
yards and the Carney's point plant of
the Du Pont Company, warning all en-
ployes OF Teutonic origin that they
would imperil their lives by continu-
ing to work at either place.
From every tree left standing in the
neighbOrhOod there was hanging
either pieces of flesh Or parts of
clothing worn by the unfortunate men.
Twenty-siX men were in the pack
ing house when the powder went off
and not enough of any of them was
left for identification with the eXcep.
ton of Allan \. ThaXter, the foreman,
whose home is given as Portland, Me.
He was torn to pieces and a part Of
his body was found hanging on a tree
across the creek 1t was identified by
shreds OF clothing that stu chung to it.
Company officials said there were
about 5000 pounds of powder in the
packing house at the time. The prop.
erty loss, Du Pont officials said, was
small.

A. D. Williams. chief road engineer.

come TO the front in good road con
struction.
Dear Sir:
Yours OF the 9Th az hand. and very
carefully noted. and replying TO same
will say that the two main thorough.
fares. or improved roads. through the
county are as follows:
"A road from EIkins. in Randolph
county. runs by Montrosc. on the
Western MARYLAND railroad. and enters
Tucker county at the hcadwaters OF
Haddix creek and runs 10 Parsons. the
county seat Of Tucker county. thence
down Cheat river TO the mouth OF
Horse Shoe run and up said Horse
Shoe run 10 the old Evans mill. from
which place the road runs up the
mountain and intersects the Oakland
road one mile from the Preston coun-
~ line. The Oakland road is a road
extending from Hartman in Randolph
county to the mouth of Red creek.
thence through Tucker county via Ca.
raan Valley. Davis. Thomas. Pierce
and 20 the Preston county line as stat.
ed. and you can readily see that We
have two roads through Tucker coun
IT, and want 10 say for your informa-
ton thar there is not in all West Viz.
gnia a better clay. shale or dirt road.
as our roads are free from breakers
and are in first class condition.
While a very few miles of these
roads are not yet completed. yet they
are far better than the roads in any
adjoining counties and will soon be
completed. and an automobile can be
driven al any speed desired without
fear of striking breakers or rocks or
bumpers. All streams or water courses
have been hridged or culverts put in.
Yours very truly.
