Shenandoah I'owder Company's Plant
Destroyed Saturday Night,
NOBODY ABOUT THE MILL
Tho Shook Wns Very Distinctly Felt
lu Towii-Tho Company Hub Al
ready Commeuuod to Rebuild
the Plaut.
A terrific explosiou of blasting powder
occurred at about 11,30 Saturday night,
near Itlngtowu, in the Catawlssa valley
Although the scene of the explosion was
over three miles distant, the shock was so
distinctly felt hero that many, people left
their beds and rushed from their houses,
supposing that some dreadful disaster had
occurred In their Immediate vicinity.
Many of the men aroused hurried over the
mountain to the scene.
The explosiou took place at the powder
mill of the Shenandoah I'owder Company
and completely destroyed the entire plant.
Flames communicated with the ruins im
mediately after the explosion and nothing
but one of the stacks of the holler house
aud a lly wheel remained lu position yes
terday morning. The buildings destroyed
were a drying and stock house 10x18 feet
In size; a glaze house, 16x20j the mill,
20x22; engine house, 10 feet square: holler
house, 12x-J0, aud a keg house, 12x10.
The dry house contained about 1B00 kegs of
powder aud there was about 200 loose ex
plosives. The loss amounts to about 54,000
on buildings, machinery aud powder. The
works were located oue mile and a half
fKUiflieasTdfTiingtow'u, nndtlle concussion
caused by the explosiou shattered almost
every paue of glass in that village.
Fortunately no people were injured by
tho explosion. There were none about the
mill at the time.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery.
None of the proprietors can even conjecture
as- to what caused it. There was a heating
apparatus lu the dry house, hut the fire
had been fixed so that It would require no
attendance until this morning. The ex
plosiou causes a severe loss tothecompauy,
as the plant was a new one and there was
not a cent of insurance on any part of it.
Tho Shenandoah I'owder Company Is
composed of John Roberts, president; F.
C. Reese, secretary; Daniel Bedea, treas
urer, all residents of this place. They
started the plant on the 7th of last May
and were operating very successfully. Tho
company has displayed admirable pluck
and enterprise by beginning at once to
counteract the eft'ect of the explosion.
This morning they put a large force of men
at work to clear away the ruins aud say
that within ten days they will have the
plant rebuilt and in operation.
Hundreds of people of this place trav
eled over to the valley yesterday to view
the ruins. There are many stories as to
the efl'ect of tho explosion in town. It was
said that the concussion throw a boy from
a chair iu a house on Rowers street. The
facts of the case are that the boy was doz
ing on tho chair when the concussion caused
the door of tho room to swing open. Tho
shock and the swinging door frightened
tho boy so much that he foil from the chair
and rolled over and over tho iloor scream
ing In terror.

.V Ghastly Discovery Made by David
Herring.
CORPSE UNDER A PINE TREE
Tho Domains Aro In n Droadful Stnto
nutl Unvo Apparently Ueon Ex
posed to tho Wouthor for
Many Wooks.
David Herring, a resident of town who
Is employed as a lumber team driver by C.
E. Tltman, startled peoplo yesterday aftor
noon with a story of the discovery of a
corpse on Locust mountalu. Herring had
been picking huckleberries and said that
while passing through a grove ot pine trees
ho stumbled over the dead body of a man.
Ho was so badly frightened that ho did not
wait to look at the features, but ran back
to town as fast as possible. He arrived
almost minus of breath and as whlto as a
newly white-washed fence. Ho was di
rected to and found Deputy Coroner
Mauley, to whom he related the discovery.
Tho olllclal went to Franey's stable and
hired a team and wagon. Accompanied by
Herring and two other men tho Deputy
Coroner started out to recover tho body.
Herring was very much agitated aud
Mauley had difficulty in getting the man
to describe tho place where the body had
been seen. Herring said ho would know
the place on account of it being in liuo
with a dwelling, but he did not know who
occupied or owned tho dwelling.
Tho men drove until they got near
Ivrobs.' Herring then said ho thought he
could Hud the place. Tho party left the
road and went Into woods aud spent threo
hours in an unsuccessful search. Herring
was so much agitated that he got lost in
tho woods and was separated from the
party for almost an hour. Mauley finally
hecamo disgusted and drove back to town.
It was agreed that Horriug should be
given time to grow calm and tho search
would bo resumed this morning.
Last evening somo men who had heard
Herring's statements concluded that the
first expedition had taken a wrong course
aud, accompanied by Herring, they started
out to look for the body. They wero on
foot and went out tho Drandonville road to
tho part of Locust mountalu known as
"the fiat, " An easterly direction was then
taken aud after walking about half a mile
they found tho body at tho foot of a pine
tree.
Among tho members of this party were
Amos Yaruell, Thomas Kenny, William
Delowry, Daniel Auspach aud Jacob Hess.
They did not touch the corpse, but returned
to town and confirmed Herring's original
report, leaving tho rest at the pleasure of
the authorities. The house nerriug had
seen aud upon which he depended to locate
the place on tho first expedition is one oc
cupied by Mrs. Adam Leckio. It is on the
road leading to Mahanoy City.
Tho men who viewed the body say it was
In a horrible state of decomposition. It
was attired in winter clothing aud had
probably been at the foot of the tree for
mouths. The general appearanco of tho
corpse Indicated that It was of a rospect
ablo aud well-to-do man. Tho features
could not bo recognized. Tlioy were as
black as a negro's, dlstortod and partly
eateu away. None of the visitors could
idoutify the clothing aud no search of tho
body was made. A revolver rested near
the right hand, but time was not taken to
determine how many chambers were loaded
or unloaded. The men said they saw holes
In tho head and neck which looked liko
bullet wounds.
Tho body remained on tho mountain last
night and was still there today. Deputy
Coroner Mauley was unable to give the
case attention this morning, on account of
boing obliged to keep an engagement at
Schuylkill Haven, but a man was detailed
to watch the body.
A better description of tho corpse was
secured today. It Is apparently that of a
well-dressed man of about 33 years aud is
nttired lu a light brown overcoat, dark
pants, striped shirt, dark.necktie, brown
stilt' hat aud kaugaroo shoos. A red mous
tache is all that can be described of the
face.
The revolver found with the body rested
under tho left hand. Two of its ohatnbors
were emptied. There are two holes at tho
right templo of the corpse and they were
doubtless made by tho shots from tho
empty chambers of the revolver. The case
is evidently ono of suicide although the
faet that the bullet holes were in the right
side of the head aud tho revolver was
Jb40U Uifcler tho left hand has led somo
nflgiilB to discuss tho possibility of
liflll pJay. The weapon was not
BltttoJiadl by the left hand, but was lyiug
under it. The drop of tho weapon aud
fall of the body might easily chauge tho
posltlou of the former from what it would
have been had tho right hand continued to
hold the revolver after tho fatal shot. The
foul play bellof is not concurred in by
many aud tho whole iuterost iu tho matter
contors on tho identity of the victim.
A Polish resldeut of town who viewed
tho body says it very much resembles a
man who was at one time a member of oue
of tho local Polish societies.
