An explosion of dynamite at the
Emanuel quarry, In South Scranton,
yesterday nfternoon, resulted In tho
death of one man and the Injury of sis
more. The casualties were as follows:
KILLED. ,,
FIIAXK DICTIS, of Franklin avenue,
S3 years of ago.
INJUBED.
PETER MANL.KY, of 010 Birch street, CS
years of age! fructuio of tho left leg,
lacerated foichead and possible frac
ture of the skull; condition very cilt
Ical. BRAUNA AI.UKA, of 118 Franklin ave
nue, "I years of age; bad bums of tho
right leg.
SANTA JONA, of lis Franklin avenue,
"S years of ago; very bad hums of
the arms, chest and upper part of tho
body; condition very critical.
The other three men Injured were
foreigners, whose names could not be
learned at the quarry, where they are
only known by their number. The
men whose names are given above were
taken to the Lackawanna hospital,
while two of the others were removed
to their homes in Taylor. The third
man was made comfortable in a hut at
the quarry1 grounds. The latter and
one of the Taylor men each suffers
from a severe scalp wound, and bruises
and cuts, and the other Taylor man re
ceived injuries about his back. The In
juries of the three men, whlle'painful,
are not considered serious.
MANLEY'S CONDITION CRITICAL.
At the hospital, late last night, the
condition of both Manley and Jona was
pronounced very critical and fatalities
may result In either, If not both, of the
cases.
The accident occurred shortly after
10 o'clock at the quarry, which is about
one hundred and fifty yards from the
Connell Brick yard.. About seventy
five men are employed there at present,
crushing stone as ballast for the Rapid
Transit Railway company. The work
Is being done under the direction of
Contractor McGowan.
The men had resumed work after
their noon-day lunch, when suddenly a
terrific crash was heard and for a few
minutes the air was full of flying stone
and debris. When the cloud of dust,
caused by the explosion, had drifted
away, the workmen who rushed to the
spot found seven men stretched on the
ground In the throes of terrible agony.
Dr. J. J. Walsh was summoned, and
found that Dictls wns beyond any
medical aid. The unfortunate Italian
had been literally blown to pieces,
and the sight of his remains was
ghastly and gruesome. The Lacka
wanna hospital was notified, nnd Dr.
Sallady and Dr. Lindsay responded
with the ambulance. Dr. Walsh and
the two physicians did everything in
their power to alleviate the sufferings
of the other six men, before any were
removed to tho hospital. Tho remains
of Dictls were removed to Needham's
undertaking establishment In South
Scranton.
CAUSE OF EXPLOSION.
The men were at work cleaning the
rock from a hole when tho explosion
occurred. It is believed that Dictls'
pick struck a dynamite cartridge,
which had been left from a preceding
blast, which had missed fire. No fresh
blasting has been done for over a
week, nnd the men had evidently for
gotten the former unsuccessful attempt
at this spot. Dictls wns bending for
ward over the hole, after swinging his
pick, nnd received the full force of the
explosion.
Jona was the most seriously burned
of the other men, and hud his eyes al
most blown out. Manley was struck
with awful force by a large piece of
rock, nnd his advanced age helps to
make his condition more critical. Tho
other men are sure to recover, unless
unforsecn complications ensue.
Coroner J. J. Saltry examined Dlctis'
rcmuins at Needham's undertaking es
tablishment, and will today visit tho
quarry and investigate the circum
stances. An inquest will be held at an
early date.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Babcock and
Their Sons, Tracey and Maxwell,
Very 111 as the Besult of Some
thing They Ate at Suppor Thurs
day Night Maxwell Was in a Very
Critical Condition Last Night Mrs.
Babcock Becovored Quickly front
the Effects of the PolBon.
Mr, and Mrs. Henry Habcoek and
their two sons, Tracy and Maxwell, of
1435 Church avenue, were all seriously
111 yesterday, ns tho result of a poison
absorbed by them, at their Thursday
night supper.
Maxwell, the youngest son, is in a
very critical condition, and Drs. Theo
dore Sureth and J. W. Coolldge, tho
attending physicians, gavo out little
hopes of his recovery! Inst night.
Mrs. Babcock recovered quickly from
the effects of the poison, which had
effected her ns early as Thursday
night, but Mr. Babcock nnd Tracy
were both quite ill last night.
The doctors are at a loss to analyze
the nature of the poison. It has caused
rigidity and convulsions, in the cases
of all tho members of the family, and
has particularly effected the nerve
centers, the base of the brain and
spinal column.
The poison is evidently of complex
construction, a mixture of strychnine
and other deadly Ingredients.
Maxwell Babcock, who Is 7 years of
age, became unconscious nt 6 o'clock
last night and remained in that con
dition. His father nnd brother were
conscious, but in pain.
Dr. Coolldge at first believed the
poison was ptomaine In nature, and
could be traced to cucumbers eaten
Thursday evening. The absence of cer
tain symptoms scouts this theory, how-
