FrightfuI Explosion Occurred
In Shell-Loading Plant
HUNDREDS ARE L INJURED
Houses Now Wrecked and Ruin
Left In Path Of Powder
IS Blows

New York, October 4.-scores
of dead and literally hundreds Of
others, manned and injured are
estimated to be the toll of a ter.
rible explosion that occurred in
the Gillespie Loading company
shell loading plant in New Jersey
near South Amboy. Many have,
already been rushed to the hos
pitfalls Of New York and Brooklyn
but it is estimated that hundreds
are buried under the ruins of the
plant who will not be recovered
for days.
The explosions are reported to
have started in the laboratories
of the plant. Last night at mid
night the first explosion occurred
and the blasts occurred at inter-
walls all the rest of the night and
today The last blast came at
sever, o'clock this morning and
window panes in Brooklyn were
shattered and residences shaken
by the force of the explosion.
Houses near the plant have
been literally swept away. Many
men working in other establish
merits nearby, and families in the
vicinity are thought to have been
wiped cut, injured or killed under
the ruins of their wrecked homes.
Telephone and telegraph connec-
tons have been completely swept
away and messengers obliged to
take the news to New York and
neigheoring points. New York
enjoyed all the thrills of a bonn
bardment during the explosions.
The city was Jared and saaken
and it was thought by many that
an aerial raid on the city was in
progress.

The Gerard Letters.

"My Four Years in Germany"
shown in pictures at Reynolds Thea
ire, drew large audiences here the
first of the week. These letters were
published in the daily papers last
year and they comprise an accurate
account of the purposes Of the Ger
man Government and the conditions
existing at the time Ambassador
Gerard was in Germany, plenipoten-
tiary extraordinary from America.
The pictures were very fine. The
principal Incidents of the story were
graphically exhibited. They show
the real motives that Icy behind the
veneer of German diplomacy. They
show that respect for international
law has been violated and the rules
of civilized warfare have been tram
pied under foot. They show what
the thing "Kultur" is in the most
villainous form. They show how in
human a man can be who is obcessed
with the fact that he is divinely ap-
pointed to rule. They show how
small a thing is a prisoner of war
when they have him in tow.
Manager Cox has conferred a fav-
or on his patrons by the prescnta-
ton of this picture. 1t was worth
the money.
