EDDYSTONE DISASTER
VAS WORST OF ALL

While the explosion in the Wall
street district yesterday was a terrify
ing one because it happened in the
very financial heart Of America, II not
of the world. the Eddystone disaster on
April 10. 1917. where 116 persons,
mostly girls and women. were killed,
still ranks as the most appalling
tragedy of its kind in America.
As in the New York blast, rumors
Of plots spread almost Immediately. II
was generally believed that the eIplo
sion in the munitions plant was caused
by the act Of an enemy Of the country.
Investigations and country wide
search revealed nothing as to the
origin.
The explosion Of 1917 occurred in
dystone Ammunition Corporation at
North Eddystone at 80 a. m. The
building was a mushroom structure.
600 feet long and 100 feet wide, and
stood Just west Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks, In this building 800
men and 125 women worked.
Four men were killed on October 10.
1919, and seven injured when gasoline
exploded on the oil tank steamship
Chestnut Hill at the Green street
wharf.
When a package of detonating fuses
exploded at the Frankford arsenal
August 8, 1915, three men were killed
While the Market street subway,
east Of Broad street, was under con
struction, an explosion OF illuminating
gas in an excavation at Sixth and
Market streets caused the deaths OF
eight workmen on October 8, 1905,
Forty were injured and fire followed
that lasted several hours.

was utter terror. Everybody who was
in building rushed in the street. and
those towering Office buildings of the
financial district bclched forth thou
sands upon thousands of persons who
dashed down toward Broad and Wall
streets and met those who had directly
felt the force Of the explosion.
Nearly every one of these victims
and near victims was smeared with
blood from head to foot, their clothes
were half torn from them.
1.-The charge Of these fugitives
drove back the other frightened
hordes who had been rushing down to
ward the scene of the explosion and
they turned and pressed back, crushing
into those behind them who had not
yet seen the horrible sight.
"Out Of this melee were born more
disasters, and hundreds OF women were
battered and trampled. Those who had
been injured and required surgical at. &.
tention could not make headway
through the crowd. and were helpless
until the police, in commandeered ye-
hicles, forced passage through the
crowd.
"A young boy, probably junior clerk,
came stumbling madly up to our door,
as though drunk. Suddenly he saw be-
fore him in the street a mass that had
been u pretty girl stenographer. Both
her legs had been blown of. The boy
fell in a faint"

EXPLOSION CAUSES
LOSS OF S2,5OO,OOO

New York, Sept. 1.-THE damage
done. as the direct result OF the eT =
plosion. was estimated variously at from
81 800 900 to $500, 900. Broken
windows, shattered Office furniture. lost
securities, cracked walls and ceilings
and other damage went TO make up the
huge total Of money loss. Plate glass
insurance experts estimated damage in
broken glass alone at more than 5000,
600, while the damage done to the
expensive wall and ceiling Of the
Morgan Offices could not be estimated
The New York Stock Exchange suffered
heavy loss and the front OF the nsw
Assay Office appeared to have been
under bombardment by lgiht artillery,
so badly was it chipped and pitted
Beginning at the corner OF William
and Wall streets and extending west on
Wall street to New street there was
scarcely a pane Of glass intact below the
eleventh or twelfth floors.
Scarcely had the financial district
recovered from the shock Of the explo
sion, when work OF reconstruction was
started. Workmen appeared as IL by
magic. and began the work OF clearing
away the debris in the Offices and re :.
moving the broken pieces Of glass which
still remained in the window sashes,
At the Morgan Offices, the assay Offices
and the Equitable Trust Co. the work
progressed rapidly.

adjust itself. With the discontinue
tion of war industries, the decrease in
the output of shipyards and the general
return to normal industrial and ccono-
mic conditions, q veritable- army OF
workers will be forced back to the land
and the farm. That is what we need.
There are hundreds of abandoned and
neglected farms in this great agricul-
turnl commonwealth.
The governor, while on this subject.
also predicted the long awaited and
much needed return of many teachers
