Now, f.upposo C arleston wants a

Ol a CT ot Dynamite at Jelllco, Temi.
The Railroad Station Demolished
and Many Other Buildings Are
Wrecked, Causing Heavy
Loss.
At Jelllco, Tenn., on Friday twelve
ilvea were snuffed out, scores of peo
ple were hurt and property destroyed
ho the amount of half a million dol
lar? hy the explosion of a carload of
lynamltc, which was standing on a
rack near the Southern depot In that
;lty. The explosion made a report
.?hat was heard twenty ralles away,
chattered buildings In the business
cotton of the town. Evorv piece of
?laai within a radiance of one mile of
the explosion was shattered.
Tue freight oar, one of the Pennsyb
vania's lines, o >ntalned 450 boxes of
?.'.0.000 pounds of high explosives
ounsigned to thc R.\nd Powder Oom*
pany, at Olearflold, Tenn. Two causes
are assigned for the explosion, One
is that throe parties were shooting at
a mark on tho oar and that a bullet
outercd tho oar and caused tho ex
plosion. The other is that while the
car waa standing on a side traok a
oarload of pig iron was swltohed
against It and that the force of the
J ir caused the explosion.
The depot of the Southern, which
was looated nour the scene of the tx?
"logion, was wholly wrecked. T*o
hotels, the Glenmorgan and the Oar
mothcrn wero badly wrecked, the
; hird story of the latter being wholly
tog troy ad. O :e person, Mark Atkins,
who was aJo'.'p in a room on this floor
it tho time, is one of the most sert*
>usly Irj ired of the entire Hat, whioh
?111 number fully two hundred, count
ng all who were but slightly hurt.
Justness houses were badly disfigured,
ic o\ i of goo'.'S ruined, while residen
?es suffered severely, windows and
loor8 blown out of the houses aa far
'mm the socuo aa one mile.
Among the buildings totally des*
?.royed were the Armour Packing Oom
jany's warehouse, the Jung Brewing
Jompany's warehouse, Pinnacle Brew

?a'Chi Company and the Standard

?up'.erl, the Oumb ria nd Opera House,
tue llno.it a'ruobure in J thoo, escaped
with httlo d ?raago. Fully twenty
other firmi suff ered losses, but they
occupied small building*.
R -i?ouers began work soon after the
explosion and medical aid was asked
ot Knoxville, which sent a dozen phy
s'otans to administer to the wounded.
T velve of the most seriously injured
were sent to Knoxville to the hospit
als in that city. The holding of in
quests over the bodies of the vlotlms
was begun this afternoon, but was not
complotcd. It is the most serious dis
aster in the history of the East Tenn
essee mining section since the terrible
explosion in the Fratervihb mines In
1902, when 184 miners, men and boys,
lost their lives lu a o al mine, n?ar
Coal Greek, less than twenty miles
from the scene of Friday's explosion.
Mayor R B. Baird issued aolrcular,
notifying the public that all person*
found on the streets after 8 o'olook
Friday night would be arrested, unless
they were owners of building or stocks
of goods or agents therefor. Many
people are homeless as a result of the
disaster, and as almost every ohimney
was destroyed, cooking oannot be done
in any of the houses. Some estimates
made Friday night on the loss of life
place tho number of victims at as high
a figuro as forty, but lt is believed
that this a gross exaggeration, and
that not more than fifteen have lost
their lives, if that many.
