SCHIMPFF 317 Lackawanna Ave. NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA DEATH IN POWDER AND DYNAMITE Lightning Strikes tho Mngnzlno of Lehigh nnd Willcos-Ilnrro Coal Company, nnd Kills John Hlgglns. Numerous liuildings Demolished nnd Thousand of Windows Hlown Out. Wllkes-Barre, July 23. At 1.35 this afternoon, says the Times, during the heavy electric storm, lightning struck the powder and dynamite magazine of the Lehigh and Wllkes-Barro Coal company at tho Empire, and its con tents exploded with terrible force, the concussion being plainly felt by the occupants of every building In the city. One man, John Hlgglns, was Instantly killed. Hlgglns was employed as a fireman In the boiler room at the breaker. Dan Mulhern Is also employed there, his duty being to haul ashes with a mule and cart from the boiler room to a field not a great -ways off. Hlgglns and Mulhern traded Jobs for awhile today and a short time before the ex plosion Hlgglns started out of the boil er room seated on a load of ashes. He had passed the magazine and reached a point about seventy-five feet be yond when the explosion occurred. Hlgglns received the full force of the concussion and was blown a distance of about twenty feet. His face was frightfully mutilated, being split from the top of the forehead to the chin, nnd every stitch of clothing, with the exception of his undershirt, was blown completely off. Where the magazine formerly stood there Is a hole from ten to twelve feet deep caused by the explosion. The "shifting shanty," where the workmen change their clothing, was completely demolished. Near by It was located the holler shop and one side of this was crushed In nnd the windows all blown out, OTHER DAMAGE. A short distance from where the mag azine stood on Empire street stands twenty-four houses of the Ked Ash Coal company, known as the Heel Row. In the row not a pane of window glass is left. The saloon and residence of James McGroarty at tho corner of Hill sic".; and Northampton streets, is badly wrecked. All the windows of the Le high nnd Wilkes-Rarre offices are gone, and two large plate glass windows In the front of James Murphy's saloon were destroyed. Every house on this street show3 tho damaging work of the expl6s!on, and the windows In the Ited Ash store are also smashed. A Polander walking In front of Thomas Davi3" grocery store, was thrown to tho ground by the force of the explosion and it was several min utes before he recovered sufficiently to resume his Journey home. A moment hefore the explosion the electric car had arrived at the crossing and the passengers were alighting. When the terrific crash came the car rocked back and forth like a cradle and It was feared that It would be lifted from the track. An abandoned supply house owned by the company was totally de molished. About the ground where the maga zine stood one cannot find a piece of wood largo enough to make a tooth pick. A peculiar Incident was the fact that the mule which was drawing the cart of ashes on which Hlgglns was seated, was not Injured in the slightest, though his harness was blown completely off ond the cart reduced to kindling wood.
