section were received and within an
hour the police had been askcu to ex-
plain the cause of the widespread
shock.
The explosion occurred at 9:06 a. m..
and it is thought to have been caused
by the jarring of dynamite stored in
the magazine by workmen who were
laying a new floor. The dynamite set
off the powder stored in one chamber
and that explosion was followed by
another in a second chamber.
The plant of the United States Cart-
ridge Company is located in a district
known as Riverside Park. in Tewks-
bury, just outside of Lowell.
The building in which the explosion
occurred was a stone structure about
one and one half miles distant from
the works of the cartridge company.
Within a distance of fifty yards are
located half a dozen houses. Within
a distance of one hundred yards there
are twenty houses. more and beyond
that the buildings are very close to-
gether. Every structure within a
quarter of a mile was torn within and
without. Men and women and children
who were inside of houses sustained
cuts, bruises and broken bones, if they
escaped with their lives. Men who liv-
ed in streets not far off, who were fort-
unate enough to escape serious injur-
ies, immediately gave themselves over
to the work of removing women and
children to places of safety for al-
most simultaneously with the explo-
sion came flashes from the several
buildings. into the flames and debris
scores of men were soon plunging in
efforts to save life and property.
The wreck was so complete. however,
that the work was slow. The patrol
wagons of the police and teams of all
descriptions were brought into use to_
supplement the hospital ambulances.
It was hearly noon before anything
like an accurate estimate of the num—
ber killed could be obtained. Previous
reports had said that the dead would
number 75, but at 11:45 a canvass of
the hospitals and inquiry at the police
stations resulted in a conservative es—
timate of 25 killed and 55 injured.
St. John's Hospital afforded refuge
for those most seriously in need of sur-
gical attendance and sixteen victims
were hurried thither. The house stafl
separated those in direst emergency
and soon ascertained that the list
would surely add to the roll of those
dead at the works.
At this hospital it was stated at noon
that four would die and that as many
more were desperately hurt. The
crowds increased momentarily and it
seemed as if all Lowell had suspended
business and was at the scene of the
catastrophe.
Many instances of heroic work in life
saving were noticed. A short time af—
ter the, explosion the flre bells were
rung from Box 138 and the fire de—
partment started at full speed for the
scene of the horror.

The thunderous roar which shook
the city and surrounding country was
taken by many as indicating an earth
quake.
Practically the entire populace of
South Lowell and Wigginsviile was
panic stricken for a time. after it
dawned upon the people that a terrible
disaster had occurred. Within the
stricken territory, those who escaped
serious injury. fled in a panic from
their homes. Muny living at a safe
distance joined the crowds who had
fled from the burning section. contrib-
irting to the disorder.

some of the seriously inju ed were con-
veyed to boat houses along tllc Cori-
cord River. which had oscupul destruc-
tioli. Physicians who hurried out from
the city as soon as the newa of the
disaster became known. joined with
doctors living in Wiggiusvillc to make
the injured as coliifortablo as possible.
Several of the injured were terribly
maimed and burned. One man was
suffering such intense agony that upon
his arrival at the hospital he begged
the surgeons to shoot him and end his
misery. A large number. however,
who were treated at the hospital, and
by outside physicians, sustained only
cut hands and faces,.cuused by glass.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. July zua'l‘he
shock of the Lowell explosion was
generally felt iii Cambridge and vl~
clility. ’i‘he disturbance was recorded
by instruments at the Harvard Coi-
iege observatory. The time at which
the explosion occurred was thus re-
corded at nine hours. six minutes and
twenty seconds, eastern time, with an
uncertainty of not more than two acc-
ends.
The similar observations elsewhere
it is thought, may furnish valuable in«
formation regarding the velocity of the
concussion.
BOSTON, July 29-»Persons coming
to Bustou on the 9:57 train from Low-
ell. were eye witnesses of the expio‘
sion at the United States Cartridge
Company's plant at Lowrril, this morn-
ing. The accident happened just as
the train was passing the works, the
tracks of the Boston and Maine rail—
road being about a ‘third of a mile
away. ”in those in the train there
seemed to be two distinct concussions.
and the air in the direction of the
cartridge company's works was filled
with a white smoke like that from
burning powder and debris was seen
flying in all directions. The speed of
the train‘ prevented only a momentary
glimpse, but it was apparent to those
on the train that an explosion of great
magnitude had occurred. Director A.
w. Sulicwuy, of the Boston and Maine
railroad. was a passenger on the train,
and as it uprpoaclled, the cartridge
company's pluut. his eyes rested upon
the cluster of brick buildings which
comprise the plant. For an instant the
massive brick walls of the magazine
bulged outward. and then crumbled in-
to a great cloud of dust. Mr. Suilowuy
says that the concussion was so great
as to lift the wheels from the rails.
and it seemed as if the cars would turn
over. The train rlgbtod itself, how-
ever, and sustained no injury from the
shock. it was u trying moment for the
passengers, and it was not until after
they hail recovered from the sensations
of the explosion that they realized the
danger that had threatened. In the
city proper, two miles distant. the
shOck was tremendous. On many
streets the earth appeared to tremble
slightly and buildings shook. In all
sections of Lowell, especially that part
near the Concord River. glass was
smashed from windows and in several
instances persons were cut. Quite a
number of panes of large plate glass in
the business streets of the city were
demolished.
The detonations were heard over a
large portion of Eastern Massachu-
setts towns twenty-live miles distant
reporting having distinctly noticed
them. In Andover, Tewksbury. B11-
lerica and other places. glass was
broken and according to a despatcb
from L nil. slight damage to windows
was done in that city. which is twen-
ty miles away.
FISHERMAN SPEARED A SHARK.
Five Foot Marina Terror Caught in
Norwalk by George Barnes.
George Barnes, a well known Nor-
waik fisherman, made an unusual catch
while spear-lug eels in Norwalk this
morning. Mr. Barnes s at work on-
posite the Norwnllt frehkt depot when
nearby 1n the shallow we or there was
considerable of a commotion. Mr.
Barnes dropped back to the spot in his
boat and found a live-foot shark floun-
dering in the mud. He soon ended the
life of the voracious specimen of man
eater with a list fish spear and pulled
it into his boat, .
Later the shark was placed on exhi-
tlon in front of Councilman William
M. Betts' market in Main street, where
it attracted much attention.
Many boys go in bathing daily in the
vicinity where the catch was made, and
the incident will probably curb their
desire for aquatic pleasure at this point.
