Many Tons of Powder
Are Destroyed in Two More
Explosions at Du Points
By Associated Press

Wilmington, Del, Jan. 12.-The NTH
explosion within two days occurred
last night about midnight at the Du
Pont powder works in the Hagley
yard on the Brandywine on the out
skirts of Wilmington. 1t was a small
wheel mill that blew up and beyond
destroying the building and about a
ton of powder no damage was done.
Nobody was in the mill at time OF
near enough to be hurt. The shock
disturbed the entire western section
of the CITY, many persons being rudely
awakened; houses were rocked and
there was general commotion.
The fourth blow-up in the two DAYS
occurred at the Carney's Point, n. j.,
plant late yesterday afternoon, in what
is known as the Solvent recovery =
and, while about 13 tons of powder
were destroyed nobody was killed or
injured. The Du Points do not appear

the American Smelling Company, un-
der whose employ were all the men

made his home in FL Paso.
+. c. Gerberich and Fl. l. Gerberich,
brothers-in-law, of Dauphin, base their
fears on the fact that Simmons had
contracted several years ago to build
the new $1,000.000 smelter plant of
the American company in Cusihuiri-
achic. When the latest revolution
worked its way around TO this district
two years ago Simmons, with the rest
of the Americans there, was forced to
flee across the border to El Paso. Con-
tracing tools and equipment valued at
many thousands of dollars were left
behind.
Naturally, under the circumstances,
he would be anxious to get back at the
first opportunity 10 see how his equip

business. About five years ago he
started work in Mexico and was iden-
titled with the construction of the in

Grande at El Paso.
With his wife and daughter, Eliz-

with his mother at Dauphin. His rela-
