Ardmore, Okla., "Sept. 27.-At j least a score dead, 200 persons in- j jured and property damage of ap proximately $000,000 to-night wero ; considered conservative estimates of the havoc wrought here to-day by the ! explosion of a car of gasoline In the Santa Pe railroad yards. Burning oil Scattered. The force of the explosion wrecked , a dozen or more buildings in the 1m mediate vicinity of the railroad yards and scattered burning oil over the business district, starting fires which for a time threatened to sweep through the city. Tho fires were brought under control early to-night. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Several men were at work on the car repairing a leak j at the time and one theory advanced was that a spark from a hammer ig nited the escaping gas fumes. The I bodies of the workmen were torn to j fragments. The city was placed under martial law to-night and a systematic search of the wrecked buildings began. In their first exploration of the ruins rescue parties removed the bodies of 15 persons, several charred beyond recognition and others so badly man gled as to make identification diffi cult. The Buildings Destroyed include the union passenger and freight stations, used jointly by seve ral railroads; the Whittington Hotel, Madden & Co.'s department store, Pennington Wholesale Grocery Com pany, Swift & Co., and DeWitt Cigar Company. Not a building on Main street escaped damage and practi cally every pane of glass in the city was shattered. " All of i Iii? guests or Hie Whitting ton Hotel are believed to have es caped without serious injury. Scores of young women were employed by Madden & Co., and at a late hour to night some still were unaccounted for. All public buildings were convert ed into temporary hospitals to-night, and physicians and nurses wero hur ried herc from nearby towns on spe cial trains to aid in caring for the I wounded.

Spartanburg, Sept. 2t?.-The coro ner's jury to-day held Cliff Godfrey, a young white man. responsible for the death of Robert Hanna, who was shot down in Godfrey's home Friday morning near Enoree. To place the responsibility for the death of Hanna was a mere formality, but the inves tigation brought 200 men, women and children to the Hanna home, where they crowded about the coro ner's jury with breathless silence and listened to the t gtiUiOny of wit nesses. The witnesses told how Hanna was shot three times, the first shot fired having taken off his lower jaw, yet in that condition, and with Godfrey fol lowing him and firing two other shots into bis body as he crossed the held, he walked a quarter of a mile to his home before he gave way from loss of blood.

Walhalla CoiiuiilsstonerN anti Council Decide on Municipal Ownerslilp. Tho I inability lo secure sat isfactory electric lighting service for the town of Walhalla and her citizens has put the local Co m missioners of Public Work8 nm! the City Council to work in an endeavor to secure for tho town a service that would provo moro satisfactory and better meet tho needs of the community. Some two weeks or more ago tho Walhalla Power Company's plant was damaged hy lightning, and a I nee that time ibe town baa been in darkness, or at least it would have been so ex cept for the kindly assistance of tho moon. The company has not as yet been able lo replace the coll that was burnt out, but as soon as ibo dam age can be repaired, we understand that the company will again turn on their current, which will be con tinued until th?' local plant can bo put into operation. The plan decided upon by tho joint session of the Commissioners and Council is the purchase of two 25 h. p. Deisel engines and machinery outfit which goes with them for tho completion of two electrical units, thus making an Ideal "twin"' plant. Mayor W. M. Drown, Commissioner G. A. Norman, Me??rs. Vernor and Hetrick, of the Council, and w. K. Seaborn visited Saluda, N. C., last week, Inspecting the plant there, with which they were greatly pleased, and which is said to be giving ideal ser vice. After their inspection and rc l>ort, it was decided that the town of Walhalla would purchase a similar plant and thc contract for asme has been signed up, tho order given, and within 30 days the engines and mate rial should be here. In all probabil ity they will be ?cady "for seivica within that time. The outside date set for the completion of the plant in operating condition is November If?. The Deisel engine is said to bo ono of ?he most economical and yet ono of the most efficient engines ever pro duced. I'.til banks, Morse ?i. Co., ot Chicago, whose manufacturing plant is at Delolt, Wis., are the makers ot this engine, and it bas the unqualified hacking and guarantee of that strong company, who aro recognized as tho very top-notdvers in gasoline and other oil engines in this country Tho plant com pie lo is to be under tho guarantee of this company. The local plant will be situated in South Broad street, near tho Blue Ridge depot, slightly back and to the east of C. W. & J. E. Bauknight's warehouse. This situation will give easy access to the railroad for un loading and will be convenient for the receiving of the heavy fuel oil with which the Deisel engines aro run. The entire plant will be installed in accordance with blue prints fur nished by tho manufacturers of the engines and other machinery essen tial to the plant. The whole work will be. done In accordance with their plans and under their direction, and when finished will he as a whole ready to bo taken over under the makers' full guarantee as to effi ciency. Superintendent Janies W. Harri son, in company with W. B. Seaborn, a few weeks ago, visited the plant, at Saluda, and it was their opinion that the plan! as a whole was practically perfect. Their opinion is concurred in hy the gentlenven who have since visited the plant and seen lt in ope ration. lt is understood that tho plant of the Walhalla Dight and Power Com pany will be utilized for various commercial purposes in the near fu ture. The new milling plant, owned and operated by Messrs. Strother Sc Phinney and the Neville Brothers, In Wost Union, it is understood, will bo operated 'by current furnished from the Power Company's dam.
