The force of the explosion was terrifying. The country for miles around was laid waste and many small bufldings in the city of Hull on the side mearest tihe scene of the explosion were flattened to the ground. Baseball Players and Warned. A baseball game was in progress a short distance from the powder works about 6 o'clock this evening. The teams were playing the last inning and when a fire was seen in ome of the small buildings of the powder plant the crowd began to swarm up the hill to get a better view of the biize. Warning of the danger came to th: onlookers in two minor explosions soon after the fire got well under way. A shower of sparks and fragments of the wrecked building fell among the spec- tators and there was a scurrying out of what was considered the danger zone. Some men in the crowd, aware of the possibilities of the danger when the main magazines were reached by the flames,. pleaded with the crowd (0 £0 still further back and many of them heeded the warning. Others, ap- parently enjoying the clement of dan- ger in the spectacle, stood within 1,000 vards of the burning buildings. Main Magazines Exploded With Terri- fying Effect. They were kept on the qui vive by detonations whHich sent showers of burning brands in all directions. The baseball game broke up and the re mainder of the spectators and the play ers rushed up to join the crowd ac the It was then that the main magazines exploded. There' were two stunning detonations. ~Everything within a ra- dius of a mile and a half was torn and shattered. Glant trees were smapped off close to the.earth, barns and dwell- ing houses were converted into kin dling wood and even in Ottawa, four miles from the sceme, hundreds of plate glass windows were shattered to fragments. Scene Resembled a Battlefield. The scene where the crowd from the all field stood resembled @ battlefield. armiess and 'legless bodics ng about @mong scores of un- us forms. To the few Who Te- tained a flicker of -consciousness it appeared as though over a hundred bad been killed. The strange silence which followed the final death dealing blast was more terrifying than the cries and moans which came with a return to consciousness of the badly injured. Thought the Comet Had Struck the Eearth. = The terrific shock brought thousands of terror-stricken people into the streets of Hull. Some though it was an earthquake while others cried out Spectators. that the comet had struck the earth.

The first aid from the hospitals and the police found that fully forty small frame dwellings. had been shattered and many injured peo- ple were imprisoned in the wreckage. The police and fire departments were joined by scores of willing volunteers in the work of reseue. Ambulances Rushed to the Scene. An hour and a half after the explos- fon word came into the city of the disaster and ambulances and automo- biles were rushed to the scene. The injured were carried to the local hos- pitals until there was room for no more and then they were brought across the river into this city At ten o'clock tonight 2 police es- timate placed the number of dead at fifteen and the injured at Afty. The Earth Trembled Miles Away. In this city, four miles from the scene of the explosion, the earth trem- bled, bulldings shook and hundreds of windoys were shattered. Rideau hall, the official home of Barl Grey. and the buildings on Parliament hill caught the full force of the ex- plosion. ~ Every window on one side of Rideau hell was blown out and two great stone chimnevs toppled over on the roof of the building. The parlia- ment bulldings were also badly dam- aged. Rideau hall is still occupied by Earl Grey and his, family. Half-Ton Stone Fragments Shot Through tae Air. The building in which the main ex- wlosion occurred was built of solid stone, the walls being two feet thick. Fragraents of stone weighing up to a half-ton were shot through the air for a quarter of a mile, shattering the frame dwellings of workingmen which run to within an eighth of a mile of the facpory.

It is somewhat of a reflection upon the, social morals, that in every society piay and book there must be some faithless woman, dragging her sorry presence across the pages of even And it seems very strange that re- spectable ana intelligent women will read and look on, as if wandering virtue was a necessary and interest- ing aspect of life. People will sit and enjoy the harrow- ing detaild of infidelity and think that because the conseguences fall heavily upon the straying one there is a great moral lesson in it, that justifies a re- creant curiosity. That is, however, not the case. The lesson ix lost in the shoeking details, which occupy the wmind end lend their presence to polson the thoughts.
