EXPLOSION I
A Part of
Roberts' Powder
up Ajraln,
Mill Goes
TWO MEN WERE BADLY BURNED.
Alexander Everett and Pierce Elsenhower,
Employes at (he Mill, the Victims.
The Condition of the Latter
Considered Dangerous.
A powder mill explosion occurred at about
8 o'clock this morning near Kreb's station,
in tho Catawissa valley, and at least one
death is expected to result from it.
The mill Is owned by John Roberts, of this
town. The explosion occurred In the dry
house, and that part of the plant was des
troyed. Tho victims of the explosion were Alex
ander Everett and Pierce Eisenhower. Both
resido near Blngtowu. The men were
engaged in putting powder in kegs at the
time of tho explosion, and both suffered ter
ribly. It is feared Elsenhower will dio. The
clothing was burned off of troth men and
Eisenhower was burned terribly from head
to feet. Everett's head, face and hands were
very badly burned.
Robert's mill is located about a quarter of
a milo northwest 6f Kreb's statiou and about
n hundred yards distant from the mill of tho
Shenandoah Puwdcr Company. Immedi
ately after tho explosion tho men at the
latter plant hurried to tbo Robert's mill and
did all they could to alleviate, tho sufferings
of tho burned men. The victims were sub
sequently attended at their nspectivo homes
by Dr. Rcntchler, of Ringtown.
The cause, of tho explosion is a mystery.
Neither of tho burned men can account for
It.
This explosion is tho third that has
occurred at Robert's mill within a short
period, but it is the first instance lu which
any ono has sustained serious personal
injury. The powder mill is iutact. ouly tho
dry house having suffered by the blow up.
Everett is 23 years old and has been mar
ried about three weeks. He and his wife
reside wth tho former's father, Charles
Evcrott. Eisenhower Is au unmarried young
mau and boards at Joslah Brcisch's farm.

The weather forecaster predicts rain or

peraturo gives rlso to the belief that the fall
will likely be rain. A steady rain for even a
few hours, while it would be of great value
in tho way of cleaning the streets aud reduc
ing tbo amount of snow on the ground, would
doubtless mean tMUivertaxIng of sewere and
the flooding of tberniuos and cellars and of

STORM TROUBLES OVER.
The lUllromU and Highways nre Again
In Use.
With tho exception of the Lehigh Valley
linos, all passenger trains on the steam rail
roads have been running close to their
schedules since yesterday, and the freight
and eoal train service was resumed this
morning. The Lehigh Valley company
was still battling to day with the com.
pact snow on the branch between this town
and Harry's Junction, and between the latter
point and Mabanoy City, via the short line.
Tho west bound track was open to-day from
this place to Barry's, and both tracks were
open to Delano, via the upper branch. The
short route was as effectually blocked to-day
ns it was on Tuesday. The snow In the Elm
wood and High Point cuts is thirty feet high.
The management of the Lakeside Electric
Railway did excellent work yesterday and
last night succeeded In getting ears from
Mabanoy City to the P. A R. station in town.
The lino was opened to Main street thlsafter
noon. . The Kehley Run aud West Shenandoah
collieries wero Idle to-day on account of
having no empty ears on hand.
The expense put upon tho railroad com
panies by the bllssard may be conjectured to
some extent when It is considered that on
the Shamokin division of the P. & R. Kail
way, alone. 2,500 extra men were employed
to shovel snow from tho tracks. Nearly all
the male residents of Colorado and
vicinity wero in the service.
A half dozen sleepy, angry mon walked to
town this morning from Barry's Junction
after spending last night there in a snow
hound passenger train. Among them wero
J. J. Coakley, secretary of the Borough
Council, returning from a business trip to
Now York, Patrick Cassldy, home on a fur
lough from tho 21st Inf., U. S. A., located at
Plattsburg, N. Y., and two drummers. The
train left Now York City at 4 p. m. yesterday
and at 10:15 p. m. got as far as Barry's Junc
tion, making tho trip from Delano over tho
upper branch. The train could not pass
Barry's on account of the drifts, and the
fourteen passengers on board mado them
selves ns comfortable as the clrcumstauces
would permit for tho night. At eight o'clock
this morning a half dozen of them concluded
to walk to town. The others remained with
the train until It got through. Among them
wore several soldiers on furloughs from
Plattsburg.
A L. V. R. R. engine with two passenger
coaches arrived here at nine o'clock last
night and, in proceeding eastward, got caught
in a drift at tho red bridge. She did not get
through uutll this morning.
David Morris, a coal hauler, went to Lamb's
colliery at Turkey Run this morning for a
load of coal and, upon the return trip, got
caught in a drift. Several men engaged In
opening tho borough road helped him out.
John H. Reeso, of town, who is employed
as night watchman at the Park colliery,
Trenton, arrived homo this morning for the
first time since Sunday night, having been
snow bound at tho colliery.
Teams are now able to travel all roads be
tween this town and tho Catawissa Valley.
Some of tho roads are still in a very bad con
dition and it is difficult to travel them.
Packer collieries Nos. 5,3 and 2 resumed
operations this morning, having a supply of
empty cars on hand. No. 2 worked half a
day. Tho men received orders to work again
to-morrow, as the company expects to be
supplied with empty cars to-night.
Tbo Wm. I'enu colliery will resume opera
tions and ship coal to-morrow, the Pennsyl
vania R. R. branch to the colliery being now
open.
Tho P. & R. Railway Company has a forco
of one huudred men clearing the branch
road from St. Nicholas to the Ellaugowan
colliery this morning. In some places the
tracks were covered by ten feet of snow.
The P. & R. crew that was snowed in at a
point below Tamanend, on the Catawissa
branch, reached the Quakake station last
night, after suffering severely for 58 hours.
Some of tho men had to be carried from tho
caboose into the station, so exhausted had
they become from cold and hunger.
Dav d Uousor, the L. V. engineer who was
injured Tuesday night at the Elmwood cut
while engines were trying to force through
the drift, is still at Lewis' hotel in Mabanoy
City, but Improving. Oue of his ribs on tbo
left side is fractured and the bruises about
his back and shoulders make him helpless.

New York, Feb. 16. The obstacles to
railroad trafllc resulting from the re
cent blizzard have been overcome to
such an extent as to warrant the com
panies operating trains to the north
nnd west In announcing that trafllc will
now be resumed practically on schedule
time. It has been an almost herculean
task for the railroad companies to re
move the great drifts of snow and
clear the tracks, but this has been ac
complished, and passengers again will
be enabled to travel without discom
fort or danger. All trains on the Bal
timore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania
that were detained by the elements
have arrived at their destinations,
though more or less belated. The Bal
timore and Ohio announced that trains
on all Its lines resumed regular sched
ules last night, while the Pennsylvania
also Is ready for business east and
west. The Atlantic coast line an
nounces Its road clear from New York
to Jacksonville.
The blizzard lias been a most expen
sive one, the total loss to the country
at large being estimated at $20,000,000,
while the loss of life will reach 40 or 60.
In Philadelphia the losses are estimated
as follows; Loss to railroads In re
ceipts and track clearing. Jl.000,000;
loss to uroduce merchants and milk
men, $250,000; loss to street car lines
and ferries, J250.000.
