that the trip would be postponed until

Eight workmen are known to have
{been killed, six are missing and three
others were badly injured by the ex
. ploslon of two steel disasters in the
Delaware pulp mills of the Jessup &
Monro Paper Company, on the Chris-
tiana river yesterday. afternoon. The
digesters were located in a two- story -
building. There were ten of them in
the building. each one resembling a vat
and about six feet in diameter. ‘I'I'hey
were uscdin reducing woodpulp.
Eighteen men were. at work in the
building.
ports and thcnext instant the build-
mg and other mills about the struc~
tux-e were completely wrecked. One
disaster was blown into the air and
fell 250 feet away. A dense volume
of smoke for a time prevented thé out-
side workmen from going to the lm
mediate rescue of those who were
caught in the ruins of the falling
building. Several men made their
escape without injury. An alarm of
tire was sounded and the entire fire
department of forty and a large force
of police were soon on the ground,
and the work of rescue was imme-
diately begun. Several of the work-
men were taken out unconscious, only
to die after being removed to hos-
pitals. The wreckage was piled up
for more than 30 feet and the escap-
ing steam made the work of rescue
dilIIcult.
Those who were not killed outright
were badly mangled and scolded by
the escaping acid that flowed over
their bodies from the broken digest-
ers. To add to the horror of the
disaster the wreckage took fire. but
after some difficulty the fire depart-9
sment managed to subdue the flames.
The work of rescue was continued.
Steam was not need in the disast‘
era. The embers of the company
think that the steam was generated
in them aod'that this was the cause of
the explosion. The monetary loss is
estimated. at $35,000.
A later 1? despatch says: Twelve
known dead, three of the injured at the
hospitals so seriously injured that they
cannot recover and three. men still
missing. whose bodies are supposed to.
be in the ruined works. make up the
terrible result of tho ekploslon. George
Durham, the eleventh victim died at a
hospital this morning, and later in the
day the body of Joel Hutton was taken
fro he ruins.“ Hutton was a fire-
man the digester room. where the
expl occurred. -it is almost sure
that the total number of deaths will be
eighteen; It to practically certain that
the bodies of the three missing are in
the debris. and there is no hope of any
tax the lives of the three men so ter-
ribly injured.

WASHINGTON, August 21-«The war
department has made public the annual
report of Major Charles F.’ Powell,
corps of engineers. in charge of the
river and harbor projects in Connecti-
cut during the lineal year ending June
30, 1903. The report also includes a
statement of work to be done during
the coming ilscsl year, and recommen‘
datioos for appropriations to be asked
of Congress for future work. Meier
Powell had under his charge the im-
movements to the Connecticut River.
New London harbor, Thames River.
Pawcatuck River, Duck island Harbor,W
Branford Harbor. New Haven Harbor,-
New Haven Breakwater. Milford Har-
bor, Housatoulc River. Bridgeport liar-
bur. Saugatuck River and Westport

in his report on the Connecticut Riv. '
or below Hartford Major Powell says:
“On account at fillings in the channel.
which by May was greatly impeding
river traffic, notwithstanding the priv-
ate dredging done by the Hartford
& New York Transportation Company.
in the spring and summer of 1901 an
emergency allotment of $2,000. act of
June 6, 1900, was made May 24. 1902,‘
contract was made with lowest bidder
of proposals previously advertised'for
and the dredging begun May 31, under
the plan of opening sparrow cut
through controlling bars in the order
of their degree of obstruction. The
work was suspended June 1 on ac-
count of exhaustion of the allotment.
and rush buns 20. when part ct up
propriatio' of June 18.1002, became
available.
The report shows that 18 his cubic
yards was dredged in the river from
May ill to June 30. Major ,PovVell says
that it is expected to apply 810.000 of
available balance in continuation of
the river channel dredging this sensed.
including similar work at a cost of not
over space a month at the mouth of
the Salmon River. and to use the re-
mainder of the funds for dredging af-
ter the spring freshcts of 1903. and for
work at Hartford dike and jotilrs at
month of the erer. Major Powell esti-
mates that $100. 000 will be required for
the completion of the existing projects
and recommends that Congress nppro~
priate $30. 000 for improvements and
510.000 for maintenance which he be.
lieves can be profitably expended in
the fiscal year ending June 30.\1904, in
addition to the $30,000 appropriated by
the last Congress. The sum of S496.

from 1830 to 1890.
