CARELESSNESS OF A SMOKER IN
ONE Of THE PACKING ROOMS.
Enston, April 28. The town of.
Dover, In Mori Is county, N. J., nnd tho
country within a mdlus of 20 miles
va3 startlid this nttcinoon by a ser
ies of tcrrllle explosions, the llrst of
vhlch occurred ut 2 10 o'clock. The
explosions oieuireil in the Atlantic
Powder company's works nnd the
plant Is now a complete mnss of ruins.
Six workmen weic killed and four
others were seriously Injured, homo
probably fatally. Their remains luie
not yet been recovered.
The works were situated In an Iso
lated spot seven miles out In a rough
country from Dover. Theie were ten
buildings in the Kioup and all hac
been destroyed. Tho Hist explosion oi
Linrcd in one of tho packing houses,
cuus?d, it Is thought, by a tmaik from
tho pll'f of a eaieless binoKer. The
concussion sot off tho explosives in
nno'Iier picking hous nearby. Debils
and burning Umbels of the u locked
buildings were i an led high Into the
air and fell In a shower oor the re
nin inlng buildings, setting tire to tho
mi. n factory and the other flo paek-
-f. houses and the two shell houses.
In a l-'ef time the explosives In these
buildings wciu set off and left death
nnd destitution in their wake The
works have been luiming night and
l.i V tinning out tush ordets for the
1 'nited States government and a huge
ii mount of ammunition icadv for ship
ment was btored in the packing house.
This vith all other explosives was
completely destroed.
TERRIBLE SCENES.
The scene presented at the place was
most Urilble. People who felt tho
shocks and saw the flames of the burn
ing structures flocked to the place
from miles around but could lender
no aid to the injured. The people were
tenifled and held back in constant
fe.ir of other explosions. A few men
who weie In the buildings managed to
escape and they ran about the coun
li v bewildered. They could give no
Intelligent account of the cause of the
explosion. 'When the wives and rela
tives of the employes of the factory
nppioached the burning buildings the
scene was moot he.u trending. The
women tore their hair and ran about
in it pitiable mannei.
It was near B o'clock before the
ruins had cooled off sutllciently to be
approached and before the onlookeis
could be induced to go near the spot.
The bodies of tho lead were houl
bly m.inglid. The head was missing
from some, while here and there lav
lesless and aimless trunks. Mnny of
the injured weie cut and maimed so
badly that some of them cannot iocov

writing. The dead nro:

Translation ol u Dispatch Sent to
Madrid by a orrexpiiiiilrut
Washington, April 28. Following Is
a ttunslation of a cable dispatch sent
by Senioi Julio Gonzales y Alba, cone
spondent at Washington of the Madtld
Imparrial-
"The United States hesitates to fight;
'its waiting policy" is due to tlrnialtv. Its
tlret hoveis around the shores of Culu
and moves up and clown the Ame'icnn
coast, doing no greater damage than
heie and there tho capture of a defence
less merchantman. Tho reason for this
Is that tho American government Is net
prepared to light. It was not thought
that Spain would offer any real resist
ance. The press of this republic nun mis
led tho populnco us to the power re
sources and mllUarj vlrtuos of tho Span
Isll people
"Tho only powder mill on tho American
continent capable of producing smokeless
powder has been destroied Thus the
Americans have no way of teloidlng th"lr
heavy ordnance, as black or blown pow
der cannot bo used cffectlvelj.
"Then tho States which wero counted
on to furnish tho men for the wor are
themselves handicapped by threatened In
dianuprlsli'Ks. The regular army has been
vvlthdiawn and tho savages huvo already
taken the warpath. In the states ot
Ohio, Illinois and Iowa the citizens have
already been called out to protect their
western frontiers from the raids of tho
wild men.
"In the District of Columbia the militia
guard has refused to serve. The guard
was ordered out by the president, and
when It discovered that It was to go Into
camp and drill, for war purposes It dis
obeyed tho ofllcers and returned to tho
capital,
"The fifty millions of dollars voted for
the war have not been collected, and n
bill Is now before the congress providing
means to borrow money with which to
fight Spain.

IRON AND STflEL MARKET.
Uuccrtnlntv li Keeping llnck Trndo
Operations in the Eum.
Pittsburg, April 23. The iron and
steel market remains about as It was
Inst week, but those conditions are
more pronounced. War preparations
have overshadowed everything in the
way of business, and the latter has
been practically left to take care of it
self, while all attention is given to ..ic
one topic of tho day. In all lines of the
market there is more hesitation shown.
Consumers provide only for present
wants, as the uncertainty of the effect
of a conlllct is holding back both sides
of the market. Locally, the most Im
portant development of the week was
the agreement of the valley pig lion
producers to close down all furnaces
for SO days during tho coming tlnee
months. This agreement Is backed by
a stiff forfeit and it Is the general Im
pression that this move will befoie
long luive a decided effect on the mar
ket. At all other points the situation
appears to be about the same.
In the east the uncertainty Is keep
ing back trade operations. Buyers,
however, have the best end of tho
market, but big orders ate expected
soon. Piesent business Is disappoint
ing. At New York and Philadelphia
tho pig iron market Is quiet. There
are good piospects In Bessemer billets.
Manufactured lines are quite slow and
Philadelphia bais are so low that the
smaller mills nie being crowded out.
Sheet iron makets are again busy, and
the tin plate mills are rushed. Chica
go leports trade conditions unchang
ed, with consumption lnige, but great
hesitation In orders. Pig Iron Is hardly
as dull as it was, but bars ate not so
active. Tho plate mills are kept busy
and the demand for structural Is fair.
A fairly good business In pig Iron is
bolng clone at Cincinnati, with pi ices
of finished m.iteilal well sustained.
The western sheet mills aie well em
ployed. At Cleveland all branches of
the market are quiet, and In the
Wheeling market the purchases being
made aie for immediate use.

Some one has said, "Style is thj
dress of thought." DoVou realize
when one visits your home hovi
the furnishings tell the character oj
the occupant? In one home yoij
will find ordinary inoffensive styles,
that's the "thoughless" buyer. Iq
another hideous colors and wom
dcrful designs. That's the "cara
less" buyer. In another dainty,
graceful designs, harmonious coh
ors, the work of artistic people.
