J|TVEY BUSINESS
ON THE DECLINE.
City License Inspector Says Thai
IS of 3S5 Licensed Cars Have
Quit the JOB

According to William D. Block, city
license Inspector, iitney cars are on
the decrease in Harrisburg. The total
number of licenses granted to do .it-
ney business, is 3S5, but in the opinion
of Inspector Block the number of cars
running is below 800.
OF the total still in service It is esti-
mated that between so and so cars
are doing only a. suburban business.
The latest addition to this branch has
been a daily service between Harris
burg and Dillsburg Six cars take care
of this travel. Three run between
Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg, and
the other three between Mechanics
burg and Dillsburg.
Cars are also running between Har-
risburg. Middletown, HummeIstown,
Rutherford, Enola and Dauphin. These
cars all require a license TO do busi-
ness in Harrisburg. Records show that
ten cars do an exclusive business to
surrounding towns after midnight.
when trolley cars stop running.

 1t was run7ored that some outside agency might have been responsible for the explosion, but Du Pont off oiaIs said tonight that there was no evidence to support any such theory.
 Nearly all the victims of the blast
 were men between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years who made their homes in. or near Wilmington. The explosion occurred in the packing house where black powder pellets
 were prepared for shipment for the most part, to the belligerent nations of Europe. The packing house was situated in the historic valley of the Brandywine and was one of a large group Of buildings constituting the plant.
 Three explosions were detonated. Tho first occurred about 1:3o D. m. This was followed by another. appar- entIy heavier tran it's predecessor, which quickly was succeeded by a ter
 rife blast which was felt plainly in
 Wilmington, three miles distant. Wit nesses saw Q great column of smoke rise hundreds of feet above the spot
 where the packing house stood and when this plume had disappeared
 there remained only a deep hole in the ground.
 Worl1men who survived the terrific concussion, declared that the scene following the explosion was one of the greatest horror From the few trees left standing in the vicinity, pieces of the flesh of victims and shreds of their clothing were sus- pended. Of the 26 men who were in
 side the building, the detcnation scarcely a trace remained. The body of only one of these Workmen, that of Allan A. ThaXter of Portland. Maine was possible Of identification.

 The only theory as to the cause of explosion advanced so far was that of a surviving workman, who said that just prior to the blast a car containing quantity of black powder was stand ing at the entrance to the packing i house.
