Earthquake-Like Explosion Jar
New York.

4 &HEW VI n
New York, July 3O.-Property
loss estimated at sos, 600, 900 was
caused early today by a series OF
terrific explosions Of ammunition
waiting shipment to the entente
allies and stored on Black Tom
island, a small strip Of land jut-
Iting in New York bay off Jersey
City. The loss of life cannot be
determined definitely until there
has been opportunity to check up
the workmen employed on the is
land and on boats moored near by.
Two are known to be dead and
at least two more are missing.
Scores of persons were injured,
some Of them probably MORALLY.
The detonations, which were
felt in five states, began with con-
tinuous rapid fire of small shells,
the blowing up of great quantities
Of dynamite, trinitrotoluene and
other high explosives, followed by
the bursting Of thousands of
sharpne1 shell which literally
shOwered the surrounding country
and waters for miles around.
Fire that started soon after the
first great crash, which spread
death and desolation in its wake,
destroyed thirteen of the huge
warehouses of the National Stor-
age company on Black Tom island
IN which were stored merchandise
valued at between $12, O00, 900 and
SIS, 900, 900. The flames, shooting
into the clouds, were reflected
against New York's "sky line"
of towering office buildings,
which only a few moments before
were shaken to their foundations
as by an earthquake.
Miles of streets in Manhattan
alone were strewn with broken
glass and shattered signs.
Thirteen of the brick storage
warehouses out Of the twenty-four |
by the National Storage
company and six piers owned by
the storage company and leased |
to the Lehigh Valley were de-
stroyed. Several others Of the
brick warehouses were badly da-
mayed and some minor damage |
was done to the Lehigh Valley
grain elevators. Tn addition, as
far as is known, IS loaded cars
were destroyed.
According to the evidence OBJ
tanned by officials Of the railroad /
company, the fire started at ] :O5
this morning in a barge belonging
10 an Independent towing com
pany, which had been moored
the railroad company
lock expressly against orders. !

A Midnight Fire

At l2.l5 Thursday morning fire broke
out IN Bellino's art building erected the
past month OH the late Baker property
on the west side of the old Charles q
Ab0rn residence on South Broad Street.
The fire whistle awakened the sleepers
and fire laddles. Soon a large crowd ar.
rived and with the aid OF hose and buck
cts the hre WAS under control.
Bellino's building where he took pho
tographs aud made crayon portraits was
entirely consumed with the contents aud
the weather boards on the west side and
the roof OF the Aboin house were burned.
The hose from the near fire plug was
run thru the Moose Club house on the
east side OF the Aborn house. The Moose
hall being highest wal wet first while
the water pressure was greatest, and the
Aborn house was thoroughly soaked be-
fore the pressure got too low.
Fortunately there was no wind and
the embers vent straight up. SO there was
no imminart danger OF adjacent build
ings catching fire.
Bellino's building WAS Ii by 40 feet,
one story filed with art art goods, all
consumed. The Aborn house was an
antiquated building and is damaged so
that 1t will not pay to repair it. About
81 900 will cover the losses.
When the water got too low to be OF
use, William Wiseman, formerly of At
lantic City, brought a soda water tank
from his bottling house on Mitchell Ave-
II and qnenched some of the emhers.
Matthew Mitchell owns the old Aborn
house. AS the building is only partially
burned he will lose much.

Boose Bark Banished

Uno, No. l, the floating speakeasy, on
which liquid booze has been sold for the
past three months off Penns Grove, was
visited by Deputy Sheriff J. o. Banks, Of
Salem, and n squad Of local officers, last
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. George
Cooper and Walter Jones were arrested
and committed to Salem Jail under 81, 900
for a further hearing before Squire d. Fl.
Smith in Salem.
The thirsty were ierried ont to the
Uno on which the Intoxicating liquids
were bought. The defendants do not
deny that they sold Intoxicating liquors,
but as in the case of the men arrested on
the previous Sunday, claimed as they
had a government license and sold on the
river, they did not violate the New Jer-
sey law.
New Jersey has a law requiring all
who sell liquors to get a license from the
Court. The jurisdiction of New Jersey
extends to the middle OF the Delaware
river. and by a mutual agreement be-
tween state authorities when the fishing
dispute was arbitrated aud compromised
before tie L. s. Supreme Court. the
authorities of each State have a right to
pursue and arrest an offender until he
reaches either shore.
