Frightful Explosion of a. Car-
load of Dynamite.

THIRTY KILLED OUTRIGHT.

And Over 21. Score of Others Reported
to Be Missing.

The Accident Occurred on the New York
Central Road Near Tarrytown, and
Was Caused by Laborers Exploding a
Blast Too Near the Dynamite Car,
Which Resulted in the Disaster by
Concussion—Some of the \Vounded Had
Their Limbs Torn from the Sockets
and Were Otherwise Foal-fully Muti-
lated.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y., May 20.—A car laden
with dynamite to beused’in blasting along
the Hudson River railroad suddenly ex—
ploded a. few miles below here Tuesday
morning, wrecking everything in the vi-
cinity, tearing up all the tracks of the road
and blowing to atoms thirty men.

The Shock Felt for Miles.

Some were hurled dead to a. great dis-
tance into the river. The fireman of the
locomotive of the train was blown with
the tender of the locomotive into the
river.

All traflic on the Hudson River road
was stopped. The shock of the explosion
was felt for miles in all directions, and it
is impossible to indicate the extent of
the damage.

The load of dynamite was on a flat car
in a construction train, and was to be used
in the construction of a third track. This
was the cause of the disaster.

Over Twenty Missing.

At 2 o’clock the remains of nine Italians
and two Americans who were killed out—
right were lying at the station here, where
they had been carried by the crowd en-
gaged in moving the wounded and dead.

Four other Italians died after being taken
to the station, and twenty-three badly in-
jured workmen were also removed to the
station. More than twenty are still miss-
in .

g Literally Blown to Pieces.

Those killed outright were literally
blown to pieces, and were horribly muti-
lated. Some of the wounded men had their
arms blown away, others are minus their
legs, while others were dismembered in
equally horrible manner.

The Italian laborers working on the
road are generally known by numbers, and
it is impossible at present time to give any
names. A large number of physicians
from Tarrytown, Irvington, Dobbs’ Ferry
and Yonkers attended to the wounded.

Exploded by Concussion.

The explosion occurred midway between
Irvington and Tarrytown. The Italians
who were employed in extending the road-
bed, had removed the dynamite from the
car and placed it alongside of the track.
They set a blast, and the concussion of the
blast exploded the dynamite.

Travel was entirely suspended between
Irvington and Tarrytown. All trains were
forced to come to a standstill each side of
the accident, as the track and part of the
road bed is an entire wreck.

A Romance of the Late War.

RICHMOND, Ind, May 20.—A rather ro-
mantic incident in connection with the
late war has come to light here. Martin
Farrell, who lived at a small village in
western New York, enlisted in Company
F, One Hundred and Forty-sixth regiment,
New York Volunteer infantry, in 1861, and
went to the front. He left behind a wife
and a son five years Old. The mother soon
sickened and died, and the son was adopt-
ed by a family named McCabe. He took
the name of George Farrell McCabe. The
father was never afterward heard from.
Young George fought the battle of life for
himself after reaching the age of fourteen.
He finally came west. He has for several
years been agent for the Ohio Farmers’
Insurance company, in this city. Last
week he was at Dayton on business, and,
missing the train, he paid a visit to the
Soldiers’ home, thinking that his father
might possibly be among the inmates. He
visited the office and found that his name
was on the roll. He at once hastened to
the designated quarters, and here he again
met his father, Whom he had not seen for
twenty-eight years. The meeting was a
joyful one, as each believed the other dead
for years. Mr. Farrell will come to this
city soon on a visit to his son and family.

Think He Is in a Trance. ‘

BIDDEFORD, Me, May 20.-‘—The body of
Captain Wakefield, of Cape Porpoise, who
was drowned three weeks ago, has not yet
been interred, but is in the receiving tomb
at Laurel Hill cemetery awaiting the or-
ders of the widow, who thinks her hus-
band is in a trance. On Sunday two phy—
sicians, after visiting the tomb, tried un-
availin gly to convince Mrs. Wakefield that
the man was dead. The body is wonder-
fully preserved, and the face has not
shown the slightest discoloration. This is
due, the doctors say, to the action of salt
water. Captain Wakefield always had a
horror of being buried alive.

Emigrants Cruelly Treated.

MARSEILLES, May 20. —The steamer Beam
arrived here from Argentine and Brazilian
ports. She brought back with her about
700 utterly destitute Italian emigrants,
driven home by suffering and cruel treat-
ment. Five deaths from yellow fever oc-
curred among the emigrants during the
passage from South America. It is prob-
able that the story which will be told in
Italy by the Bearn’s passengers will oper-
ate to stop the tide of emigration now
flowing from that country toward South
America.

A Bloody Battle Imminent.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 20.—Bloodshcd in
Franklin mines has been averted thus far,
but such feeling prevails among the 300
infuriated miners and 650 determined ne-
groes that the battle may begin at any
moment. Since the dead line has been
drawn no one dares to cross it, and as all

are kept constantly under arms the first-

shot fired will be the signal for a bloody
battle.

He \Vhipped the Unwhipped.
GALVESTON, May 20—ka Burke, of
Chicago, defeated Tom Monaghan, of Gal-
veston, in a fiercely fought battle of forty-
three rounds for a. $600 purse and the
champion light weightship of Texas. Mon-

agli'an, who was the former champion,-

had never been beaten before.
