The, ~packing house was situated In a valley along the | historic Brandywine creek, and was onc of a large group of small buildings which make up the Upper Hagley plant of the | Dupont company about three miles north- | ‘west of the city. It was 1:30 o'clock when a slight explo- slon was heard in the neighborhood, fol- Jowed by another one a trifle heavier, which was quickly succeeded by aterrific blast that not only rocked the whole| valley, but shook and startled Wilming- ton. Workmen ran from every building and shack In the wide area whiclr the | company’s plant covers. A greatycolumn | of smoke rose from the spot where the! packing house stood and when the cloud | disappeared there was only a big hole in the ground. Flesh Hanging from Trees.

He was| torn to pleces and a part of his body| was found hanging on a tree across the | creek. It was identified by shreds of | clothing. { For more than a quarter of a mile @hout the scene of the explosion the | ground was strewn with arms, legs and | bits of flesh. Even the trees across the, Trandywine were hung with ghastly) fragments. One workman who rushed to | hel} at whatever rescue work there was | to do spled an arm floating down in the | rapld current of the creek and fished it cdt with a stick. Two horses caught in the blast were torn to pleces and one | large section of one of the animals was hurled fore than a quarter of a mile. i Four Blown Plecen !
