Instantly everybody rushed to the doors
to ascertain the cause of the dlsturbsnoe.
There acre seven reports resembling the
booming of nausea and about a second
apart. The hazy atmosphere hid the smoke
and caused the reports to sound differently
from those of preceding explosions. Physi-
cians who had been summoned by tele-
phone, and who were soon hurrying to-
ward the powder manufsewry, was the
first indication the public had of the exact
location of the «nymphs.

At the Soon of the Explosion.
At the scene of the explosion women
and children, wives and sons and daugh-
ters of men employed in the powder mans
ufsetory, were madly rushing here and
there seeking information about the safety
of their loved ones. The yard in which
the mills stood was littered with debris of
fallen buildings, and at some places where
buildings had been the only trace left was
empty cellars and a few foundation stones.
The little village of anout Banks. im-
mediately outside the powder yard, pre—
sented a moat pitlublo appearance. A
hundred dwellings were either demolished
or badly damaged. Buildings were no-
roofed, fronts of houses were blown out
and wrecked. Inside the dwellings the
devastation was complete. The rooms on
the ground floor were strewn with broken
cmckery, cntshed stoves. remnants of tu-
bles. etc.
The sods mlll, I Inge stone building
about ill” yards from the magazines, is
