Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-10-04

With an explosion that shook all surrounding country as far
s Newark and South Orange, one of the buildings at the T. A.
Gillespie Shell Loading Plant at Morgan blew up at 8:35 o'clock
tonight, killing a great many persons and injuring many more The
number is impossible to ascertain at the present time.
It Is reported that A. +. Stanton, of 1873 Gordon street, was killed.
He was superintendent of the unit which went first.
Mrs. Stanton was on the scene shortly after the explosion and was
appraised of the fact that it is believed her husband is one of the kill
ed. So far Stanton is the only man reported as one Of the victims.
The plant Immediately took fire and as the flames spread from
building to building other explosions occurred of less intensity.
Ambulances, doctors and fremen were summoned from all sur
rounding towns. The ambulances from Perth Amboy were the first
on the scene and the injured were being carried out of the plant by the
score. These were rushed to the city hospital here. Some of tho
victims were almost blown to pieces. The injured are horribly
mangled.
The fire department was Called upon for aid and Lincoln Engine
Company, Protection Hook and Ladder Company, Eagle Hose Com
pany and Mcclellan Engine Company were hurried to the scene. The

SAY INFLUENZA
IS ON DECREASE
No Accurate Data on Cases
Till Doctors Make Report
to Health Board

There seems to be q varied differ
ence of opinion among the doctors Of
the city concerning the Spanish In
fiuenza epimedic which is sweeping
the country and has a grip on Perth
Amboy.
There is no way of knowing at this
time the exact number of cases of the
disease now prevailing here, but ii is
expected tomorrow morning that
many of the doctors will begin to
make returns to the Board of Health
as required by the state board, and
this should give Perth Amboy an idea
of Just how much foothold the disease
has gained. Blanks for these reports
are now being distributed among the
doctors by Health Officer William J.
Willsey.
Some doctors are of the opinion
the disease is not as severe as 1t was,
and that 1t seems to be on the de-
crease, while others report that il Is
not letting up to any extent. Some
claim II is in the air. while others say
it must be caught through personal
contact. such as breathing the air
after some n a sneezed or cough
ed.
Nine new cases were received at
the isolation hospital yesterday.
Seven of these were from the United
States Coast Guards, one was a sol
der from Morgan and the other a
soldier from South River. 1t was
said at the hospital this afternoon that
none OF these cases was considered
of a serious nature.
The Board of Health takes the
stand that there would be little use of
closing up places about the city at
this time as everyone has stood
chances OF catching the disease. and
those who travel to distant cltiss and
return would bring the germs home
with them. In spite of the various
rumors to the effect that the schools
are TO be closed. the health board has
taken no action in the meter and
does not consider II wise at this time
to do 80. The schools have a perfect
system of ventilation and many Of the
scholars II they wero to remain at
home would run more chance of the
disease than IL they attend school.
Steps have been taken, however. 20
dismiss any children who show signs
of illness or woh have cases OF In
fuenza in their homes.
