Eighth Disaster That Has Hap
pened to This Plant In
Few Mouths
One of WOrkmen Was Killed
And Others Were Badly
Hurt
From Wednesdays Daily.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, March Sire
following several explosions virtually
destroyed the plant of the Niagara
Electro-Chemical company, causing
the death of one workman, the injury
of several others and property loss
estimated at 100000.
The first explosion was of great
force, windows in nearly all buildings
within a radius of a block being shat
tered. Subsequent explosions which
occurred after the firemen had turn
ed water into the burning building are
believed to have been caused by chem
ical action. The police believe the
first explosion was caused by dyna-
mite.
Eighth Explosion.
Niagara Falls, March S-The eighth
explosion of the Niagara Electro
Chemical companyS plant occurred
last night. DR.. Cravath, who has
general charge of the plant, declared
that the explosion of last night was
no accident. There was a raging
fire which could not be put out by
water. and the best that the flremen
could do, was to save the other build
ings of the neighborhood.
Many Employees In Building.
There were IS to 135 employees In
the building at the time and the man
ner in which they made their way
to places of safety, through the pois-
ohous gas fumes was almost a mir
acle. At is was one was killed and
several more or less badly hurt, &C
cording to the latest reports. The
plant has been engaged in supplying
orders for different powder factories
of the country, which are manufac-
turing munitions of war for the for
eign trade. No small amount of the
foreign trade was also handled di-
Tectly by this factory.
Plant Under Guard.
The plant has for some time been
under heavy guard, but, somehow it
seems that an incendiary got in his
work in spite of this guard.
SO violent was the force of the eX-
plosion that a train of freight cars.
two blocks away, was bowled over.
Iron boxes were blown through solid
brick walls three feet thick and land
ed in the river.

MAY NULLIFY THE LAW
Primary In Indiana May Be Void On
Account of Close Vote On
Senator
TINTED Press Dispatch. !

Indianapolis, Ind, March $50
close is the race between Harvey S.
New and James Eli Watson for the
republican nomination for United
States senator, that this may effect
the multiplying of the senatorial pri-
mary law. AT the last reports there
were 21,7S7 votes for New and 81,
O01 votes for Watson, with TIC pre-
cincts yet to be heard from. 1t is
thought that there will be enough
scattering votes to prevent any can
didate from getting majority, in
which event, under the law, nobody
would be the nominee, as nobody
would have majority.

SOCIALISTS PREACH
PEACE FOR ITALY

ZURICH, Aug. "a peace move
ment, In Italy is gaining ground under
the leadership OF the Socialists. A
correspondent OF the "Neue Zuericher
Zeitung" who returned from Rome
few days ago reports that the oppo-
sition Of the working and middle
classes to the war is becoming more
and more pronounced on account of
the deplorable economic condition.
The results Of the new offensive OF
the Italian army are unsatisfactory to
the public and there is much bitter
ness against England and aid promised
by them. The newspapers are begin
ming to discuss peace in spite OF the
strict censorship. and in the large
cities the Socialists are holding many
anti.war meetings which generally are
well attended.
The statements Of the correspond
ent are confirmed by the Italian
papers arriving here Some Of them
urge the government to suppress the
"traitorous" propaganda of the Soc
ialist leaders, while others speak In
very serious tone and concede that
peace will have to come very soon, If
Italy is not to be ruined
