Explosion of tha Famous Dupont: Powder Works.

AT LEAST SIXTEEN LIVES LOST.

Twenty-Five Persona Seriously Injured and Many Buildings Wronked—Tlie Damage to Property TVIil

Iteaeh MSOO.OOO.

A TERU1BLE SHOCK.

Wn.MiNOTON, Del., Oct 8.—One" of tho most disastrous casualties that over occurred In Dolawaro took placo about half-past 8 o'clock Tuesday afternoon whon six of tho Dupont powder mills wero blown up. At loaBt sixteen persons woro killed, many others injured, and an inestimable amount of damage was dono to proporty for many miles around.

Tho wholo section of the works' known as tho uppor yards is a complote wreck. One of tho magazinos wont off first, and tho rolling and drying mills near by, sot oil by tho concussion, followed in rapid succession. Thore were at loast seven distinct, successive explosions.

Every dwelling in tho neighborhood is reported wrockod or unroofed and more or loss damaged. Tolephonlo inquiries from West ChoBtor state that tho explosions wore distinctly -hoard In that soctlon.

Tho Dupont-powder-mills'extonded along tho Brandy wine, .chiefly on tho west bank and'closo to tho water, for about two miles. Thoy are divided into 'the "Uppor," "Hagloy" and "Lower" yards. The former is about thrco railos and tho latter five miles from Wilmington. At tho "Uppor" was tho oilico and. business headquarters of the company.' About'fifty housos inhabited by the em ployes of tho powdor-mllls clustered here and thorn aro all wrecked. Following Is a list of tho killod as far as learned:

John Dlcty, I'utriek Dougherty, John Dougherty, Rose Dougherty and her Infant granddaughter, Martin Dolan, James Dolan, William Dounlson, William Green, John Hurlake, Michael Hurl alto, Thomas HurlaUc, John Harrigan, Patrick Harrlpin, William McGarvey and John Nowoll.

Twenty-five persons were seriously injured, and many others recoivod hurts of a slighter nature. The damage to proporty can not bo thoroughly estimated, but it cau not bo loss than 5500,000. Tho force of tho concussion oven broko windows in somo parts of Wilmington, four or five miles away.

Tho ofllce of tho Dupont company is a oomplote wrock and six mills are In ruins. Sevoral mombors of tho Dupont firm wore injured by falling walls and broken glass, bnt-rone of them seriously. Among tho slightly injured are: Eugene Dupont, the hood of tho flrnn Francis O. Dupont arid Charles I. Dupont They and several clerks in the office woro cut by fragments of broken glass, but none of them seriously. The dead wero all employes of tho company and were in andubout the mills that exploded. Sevoral workmen are missing, and arc beliovod to have been blown' into fragments. The. wounded recoivod their injuries among tho walls of their falling houses and by broken glass and flying debris. Tho first explosion occurred in one of tho packing mills whero a workman named Green was receiving a can of hexagonal powder to be shipped for the use of tho United States Government In some way a spark oommunlcatod to the can and it blow up. In stantly the packing-mill exploded and the other mills in the. uppor yards— •fevon or oight in number—followod at intervals of less than ono second. All those, except one, wero "rolling-mills," in which tho ingredients of gunpowder aro pulverized by vortical rollers of stone turning slowly around a contor post

The whole machinery is drivon by water power. Immediately after tho explosion a large building known as tho "rofinery," located noar the center of tho village, took fire. It was a mattor of life and death to tho whole population that tho firo should bo extinguished beforo it communicated with tho powder tho building containod. Tho Dupont firo brigado valiantly fought tho flames, which had caught tho roof, and succeeded in extinguishing them. Had tho roof fallen in it is doubtful If any man, woman or child in tho vicinity would liavo escaped death or sorious injury. About fifty families aro rendered homeless by tho disaster. 1ho shock waB very severe in this oity. Banks across the Iirandywine and Rockland, near by, also sufforod considerably, many buildings being blown down and all tho glass in tho windows being broken. Tho damago on tho west sido of the city is also considerable.

Tho en tiro upper Dupont yards, where tho explosion occurrod, and for somo distance all around, including tho hamlets of llookland and Charles lianks, had the appearanco of having experienced a torriblo oaitliquake. Every building was cither demolished or twisted into an unrecognizablo pile of dobrls. Tho origin of the disastor was in tho packing-room, whero William Groen was soldering a package. Somo of tho hot motal was by accident communl oatod to the powder, tho othor buildings bolng ignited by tho concussion produced by tho oxplosion of tho first

In ali about 150 acres or moro aro thoroughly devastated. *.s soon as tho excitomont had to somo extent died away guard lines wero established, and employes who had escaped injury arme'd with clubs kept back all tho intruders. As night woro on tho scene bocamo moro desolate. The devastated vil lago was barren of lights, and it was worth ono's life to wander among tho ruins. Dr. Morgan, of Wilmington, who arrived early on tho scene, said tho spoo--taclo fairly rivaled tho disastor caused by tho Charleston oarthquako. Tho work of clearing away tho debris and looking for portions of tho bodies of tho known dead will bo begun active ly to-day. Tho woods and crook banks .will be scoured and tho plecos of hU'

The Jossup & Moor* Company's papor mills at Bookford, two miles north of ffhere the explosion occurred, were violently shaken by the concussion and glasses In the windows wero broken. At Blount Cuba, five mlloa distant, the plaster was shaken from a farmer's house. The company will, as usual, five tho widows made by tho explosion 115 per month each for five years. [The Dupont powder-works were established In 1803 by Elcnthero Irene Dupont do Nemours, a distinguished Frenchman who came to this country In 1709 to escape Jacoblan persecution. Do Nemours conducted tho works until his death from cholen In 1(BV wheni his (sons, Alfred Victor and General Henry Dnpont (the latter of whom died lust year), succeeded him. Honry Dupont bcoamc the chief operator ot tho establishment :in 1850. The works furnished the solo supply of powder ot tho American army In the war ot 1813. At the time of th* explosion the! works had a capaolty ot. over 50,000 pounds dally. In addition to tho three sets of mills which were kopt busy on the Brandywlne night and day bine smaller mills were established at points In Pennsylvania and Now Jersey during the last forty years. Tho gunpowder produced at tho Drandywlne mills baa been on Important factor in every American war Blnco the revolution, and also in several European oonfllcta.

In ISM threo wogontloadf of powder belonging to tfee Duponts, which was being conveyod through the streets ot Wilmington, exploded, blowing the drivers' find horses to atoms and killing sevoral passers-by. August 2!, 1857, an

explosion occurred at the Brandywlne works, in which sevenj^worttmen wero killed.]
