C. Haffelmeier, foreman | of the gelatine department, and On Ong and Yen Foo, Chinese helpers, were in- stantly killed. The house, a small frame { structure, was demolished. The cause of the explosion has not been learned, There was not a second’s warning and the three | victims had not a chance for their lives, as they were In the mixing-house when the explosion occurred. The accident occurred a few minutes | | after 10 o'clock. The scene was at the | isolated house, where the gelatine, the | highest explosive manufactured at the | works, is prepared for final treatment be- fore it is commercially complete. As Is | customary in order to insure reasonable | safety to other buildings, the gelatine- house was located far from the other structures on the grounds, and further | protection was given the works by the | high bluff, into the side of which a sheif been at work for several hours before the explosion | stroyed. | dinary routine of their work over the mix- | ing tanks in which the dangerous fluid is | prepared. The prineipal component of the gelatine is nitro-glycerine, and this power- | | ful explosive is used in a proportion of al- | most % per cent. | The first intimation other workmen om | | the grounds had of the trouble was the | | roar of the explosion. Then the cloud | of dust and splinters and then the settling | ot the debris told the story of the dis: aster. There was a rush of workmen to the scene, but a quick inspection showed that the unfortunate occupants of the place had been blown to atoms. There was hardly a vestige of the buliding left, let alone anything recognizable of the bodles of the three men who had perished. | Those of the remains that could bo | | recovered were gathered together and | taken in charge by Coroner Curry of Contra Costa County. According to the rules of the company an inspection of the works had been made this morning. The report that everything was in good running order had hardly reached the San Francisco headquarter: before the shock of the explosion was felt. Secretary Julius Sontag repaired at once to the works to take charge of the investigation which was immediately set on foot. George Phillips and Louis Leav- itt were in temporary charge of the works | during the absence of Superintendent | Frank Roller. Neither of the men n charge could furnish any clew to the solu- | tion of the mystery of the oxplosion. | This Is the first explosion at the works since they were removed from Flemings Point, a locality several miles nearer | Oakland. Haffeimeler was one o# the old- est employes of the powder company and was considered particularly competent, His department was one which required not only skill, but the greatest caution in handling the dangerous elements of the | compound. Haffelmeler leaves a wife and a child 3 | years of age. Their home was at a small | settiement near the works. where many of the company’s employves reside, . Beyond the destruction of the mixing- house and its contents no other damage was done to the bufldings on the grounds. The wrecked structure, the machinery and the gelatine which exploded are valued at about $5000. The explosion will cause a temporary setback, but the company will | at once put up another building and will install the necessary machinery to resume operations speedily in the gelatine depart- ment. The bay shore In the vicinity of the glant works s lined with manufactories of explosives, but the arrangements are such that rarely is more than one building wrecked, unless the explosions are unusu- ally serious. The isolatlon of structures is made as complete as possible, and the buildings where the high explosives are made are always protected by earth and heavy wooden embankments to break the | force ana concussion in the event of acci- dent. | - Licenses to Marry. .

It was learned yester- day that Stewart took passage on the, steamer Elder Friday for Portland. The motives that prompted his departure are still a mystery. Stewari lacks a month of being 21 years | 0ld. He has been engaged to Miss Cora Smith o1 8§41 Harrison street, with whose | parents he has made his home for several | yvears. The young people were planning to be married soon_after he should become of age. Young Stewart has been driving a team that was part of the small estate left by his father at his death several vears ago. Friday he turned his team over to another man, saying he was not well, but would be back again by Satur- day evening to take charge of the team. Sunday came and Stewart had not re- turned. The Smiths grew uneasy and re- | Ported the case to the police. A'detective earned that Stewart had drawn $18, his deposit of savings, out of the bank. Yes- terday Clarence Smith, a chum of Stewart and the brother of his flancee, learned that Stewart was a passenger on the Elder for Port! Since learning that much the Smiths and Stewart's brothers and sisters are no longer particularly uneasy. They, as well as the -mrln es at the commis- slon house of Pai eyser, for whom Stewart did teaming, are convinced that he became dlscourlio and decided sud- denly to try anot! fleld. For two months he had not made expenses with his team, and that furnishes the only mo- tive for his disappearance that can be conjectured. nue Langford lay down on the open road s‘i’.wm is spoken of by his employers to die.

ERKELEY, Nov. 13.—The temperance people of this city are determined that the anti- saloon ordinance shall not be repealed, but that it shall be enforced! Thev have taken steps to se- cure evidence against saloon men and some arrests will probably be made to morrow. The Anti-Saloon League !s pay: ing for the detective work and will en- deavor to force a prosecution. 0. G. May, a prominent business man of this city and president of the Anti-Saloon League, declares that the existing prohibi- tory ordinance is all right and lays the blame for its non-enforcement at the door of Town Marshal Richard Lloyd, who, he declares, has falled to secure evidence and make arrests. ““We have become tired of waiting on the Town Marshal and the courts,” said Mr. May this evening, “and we bhave taken the matter into our own hands. We have beea working alone quietly for some time, but within the past two weeks we have com- menced active work against the saloon men. We are securing evidence against them and will make arrests and see that the law Is enforced. A determined stand has been taKen by us and before the next meeting of the Trustees we shall be heard from. “The Town Marshal has neglected his duty. He should have seen that the law was enforced in the same manner that he would enforce a law against robbery Every one says that he is in with the sa- loon men. We are tired of waiting on him and have gone ahead ourselves. “This ordinance shall be enforced. If it be repealed we will get another.” Town Trustee E.
