Bauge track to the entrance of the park
ing house to be prepared for shipment
Several Theories Advanced.
Some of the powder, it was said, may
have dropped from the car and either a
horse's shoe or the wheel of the car
could easily have ignited and caused a
flash to reach the powder in the car,
exploding it and the powder in the
house.
Most of those who lost their lives
were under twenty years of age, and
with the exception of Allan A. Thaxter,
whose home was in Portland. Me., all
lived in or near this city. The force
of the explosion was so great that the
victims* bodies were torn into shreds and
scattered in every direction, making posi
tive identification impossible. The list
of killed was compiled from the time
keeper's record. feu t slight hope is
held out for the recovery of the six
injured men who were taken to hos
pitals.
There Were Three Explosions.
It was 1 :30 o'clock when a slight ex
plosion was heard in the neighborhood,
followed by another one a trifle heav
ier, which was quickly succeeded by a
terrific blast that not only rocked the
whole valley, but shook and startled
Wilmington Workmen ran from every
building and shark in the wide area
which the company's plant covers. A
great column of smoke rose from the
spot where the packing house stood,
and when the cloud disappeared there
was only a big hole left in the ground.
Workmen who survived the tremen
dous blast said the scene was one of
horror. From every tree left standing
In the neighborhood there was hanging
either pieces of flesh or parts of cloth
ing worn by the unfortunate men.
Twenty-six men were in the packing
house when the powder went off, and not
enough <>f any of them was left for
Identification with the exception of Allan
A. Thaxter. the foreman, whose home is
given as Portland, Me. He was torn to
pieces, and a part of his body wa> found
hanging on a tree across the creek. It
was identified by shreds of clothing that
?till clung to it.
Killed Outside the Building.
Four of the thirty men killed were
blown to pieces while at work outride the
packing house. They were Mace, a
driver: Harrahan. a carpenter; Pleaston,
a fireman, and Oliver, a machinist.
The pellet packing house was a one
story frame building, eighteen by twenty
feet, and was divided into six rooms
Not a single part of it was to be found.
Nearby buildings were badly damaged.
A fence was blown away and telegraph
and telephone wires which were strung
near the scene of the explosion were rip
ped from their fastenings. Company offic
ials said there were about *.000 pounds of
powder in the packing house at the time.
The property loss, du Pont officials said,
was small.
The men injured were outside the
plant. They were struck by bits of
machinery, flying boards, rocks and
other debris and all were badly muti
lated. They were rushed to the Dela
ware and Homeopathic hospitals in
this city. One or two had eyes blown
out and several lost an arm or leg
Physicians stated they were so badly
hurt that not one of them is expected
to survive. Davis and Walker, two of
the injured, were in a powder rolling
mill when they were hurt.
Rush of the Relatives.
The awful shock of the blast struck
terror to the hearts of the residents of
Hagley, Henry Clay and other settle
ments along the Brandywine. accus
tomed as they are to powder mill ex
plosions. The du Pont works are op
erating in three shifts and every home
in the neighborhood is represented
among the employes of the plant.
There was a rush to all the gates
by relatives and others to learn if any
one was killed. Every entrance,
whether at the gates or at the com
pany's Hagley offices, was barred by
uniformed and armed guards. No one
was admitted except some of those who
rushed out from Wilmington in auto
mobiles when they learned the serious
ness of the accident.

THOUSANDS VIEW
STREET DM
Exhibit Is Striking Feature of
the Electrical Prosperity
Week Program.
AUTOMOBILES IN PARADE
ELABORATELY ADORNED
Prizes Awarded to Holmes & Son,
Naval Gun Factory. Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.
ith the route of the parade lined
with thousands of spectators and the
side streets parked to capacity with
automobiles of every description, 150
gasoline and electric vehicles partici
pated in an automobile pageant last
night. It was the principal feature of
"Electrical Prosperity week," which Is
to close Saturday night. The interest
displayed by the federal government in
the parade proved gratifying to the
committee in charge of the event, for
witli the large fleet of government
owned trucks the parade was an as
sured success from the very start.
The first prize for the best adver
tising- display in the parade was award
ed to Holmes & Son's bakery, which
had ten trucks in line. The naval gun
factory at the Washington navy yard
and the bureau of engraving and
printing captured the prizes for the
most novel display and the best lighted
exhibit.
The judges of the event were Com
missioner .Louis Brownlow; E. C. Bran
denburg, president of the Washington
Board of Trade, and P. T. Moran, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce. The
prizes were a mahogany piano lamp,
standing more than six feet high,
valued at $100, which was donated by
the Potomac Electric Power Company;
an electric lamp of glazed porcelain
with hammered silver filigree, donated
by the O. R. Evans & Bros. Company,
and a silver electric percolator given
by the firm of Dulin & Martin.
Parade Starts at 7.45 O'Clock.
The parade started promptly at 7:45
o'clock from 16th and U streets north
west, where had gathered early in the
evening a large crowd of spectators,
who inspected the various floats and
decorated machines before the signal
to proceed down the line of march.
Headed by a platoon of mounted police,
the first section of the pageant moved
slowly down 16th street. The main
body moved down as far south as Scott
Circle, where it halted for a brief
period, while the second section as
sembled on New Hampshire avenue
south of U street. After the two sec
tions had been joined, the parade pro
ceeded south on 16th street to H street,
turning to the left on H street, and
thence to the right on Madison place,
south through Executive avenue, be
tween the White House and Treasury
Department, turning east into Penn
sylvania avenue, and disbanding at
the Peace monument.
Bicycle men proceeded at intervals
along the line of march and kept the
streets clear, while mounted men kept
the crowds back at the points where
the machines turned. At Pennsylvania
avenue and 15th street a large detail
of men kept the space clear, and as a
result of the excellent management
there were no breaks in the parade
after it started to move.
The exhibit last night contained a
lavish and brilliant display from a
decorative standpoint, with electricity
playing an important part. Electric
lights of every imaginable color were
used in forming the various displays,
and electric motors were kept working
overtime in furnishing illumination to
many of the moving parts in the
pageant. Another striking feature of
the evening's display was the illumina
tion of many of the government build
ings along the line of march.
* Other buildings illuminated for the
occasion were The Star building, Mun
sey building and the Post building.
Another effective display was a large
American flag, twenty by ten feet,
hung on wires at a high elevation be
tween the two large smokestacks of
the Potomac Electric Power Company's
oflices at 14th and C streets northwest,
upon which played a flood of light
throughout the evening.
The display of Holmes & Son's bakery
was distributed over the ten cars en
tered. On top of the vehicles were
huge loaves of bread, surmounted on
either side by milk cans, while bakers
prepared bread. The other machines
carried mammoth-size pies and cakes.
The naval gun factory display com
prised ten floats, with everything from
a rapid-fire battery, fully manned for
action, up to a fifteen-inch gun, while
a huee anchor formed another feature
of this display. Sailors in their uni
forms accompanied the floats.
The bureau of engraving and printing
float was equipped with dies from the
big plant over by Potomac Park, show
inm: Uncle Sam producing bank notes,
while overhead the mercury-electric
lights, such as are used in the various
government buildings where night
work is necessary, and which are a
familiar sight, tended to make this the
most brilliantly illuminated float in the
long procession.
Others Contribute to Display.
The government printing office also
, had a good display, a printing press
I being in operation, with men and wom
I en at work turning o-ut printed mat
ter, in full view of the spectators along
the line of march. Gude Brothers also
made a unique showing. A striking
feature was the display, "Flowers by
Telegraph," the telegraph wires and
poles glistening above the electrical
display. The poles and wires were
banked on all sides with greens and
flowers. Berberich's float consisted of
an electrical display which embodied
the idea of footwear.
The Seabridge Jewelry Company *n
t? red an "armored car." From a turret
two guns protruded at the top, while
the rivets and outside armor represent
ed steel in every respect. The Wells
Fargo and Adams Express Companies
had a fleet of twenty trucks in line.
The Post Office Department had sev
eral of the large trucks in line, one
of which was piled over ten feet high
with mail sacks. One of the largest
trucks urged everybody to "Mail Early
for Christmas."
Entries of Other Concerns.
The Potomac Electric Power Company
entered a large number of trucks as
non-contestants. One represented a
large flatiron, with the words "Do It
Electrically," while a stereopticon wa
kept in operation on another one of the
trucks during the procession Miss
Edith Warren probably attracted more
attention than any other person in
the pageant. Notwithstanding the ex
tremely cold weather and strong Virid
which was blowing, Hhe occupied a
commanding position on the float of
Warfleld At San ford as "The Goddess of
Electricity," attired in a thin robe
with bare arms and neck. She rode
with the flowing robes on the hood of
the machine at the front, like the
"Winged Victory." She was applauded
for her bravery in spite of the cold,
never once showing a sign of shiver
ing during her three-mile ride.
The Silverberg Electric Company
was represented with a float in the
shape of a yacht, with a second one
equipped with electric fans. The Na
tional Electrical Supply Company had
several cars decorated in line, one
being equipped as a "flasher" and
another with white lights represent
ing a fountain of water.
E. F. Droop A Sons' Company had a
large truck containing a piano player
and two victrolas, the former furnish
ing mualc during the time of the pa
rade. A Rauch & Lang brougham tit
ted up with various colored electric
lights and entered by J. j. Sartram
$
was used for conveying the judges up
and down the line of march.
Some of the other exhibitors in the
pageant in addition to the long line of
privately owned gasoline and eloctri.:
pleasure cars, which fell in behind
the floats, were: Walker-Gordon Lab
oratory. Chapin & Sacks Manufactur
ing Company, Dulin & Martin, Carroll

P8IZESF0RESSAYS
Quality and Quantity of Gifts
Are Occasion of Much
Praise.
Hundreds of persons today a>-i last
evening viewed the prizes being of
fered by The Star and the Washington
committee in charge of Electrical Pros
perity week, and which are to be dis
tributed to the winners in the essay
contest now being conducted on the
uses of electricity in everyday life.
Many comments of approv.il of the
excellence of the gifts offered were
heard and many discussions as to the
merits of electricity for cooking, light
ing and other uses were to be heard
in front of the display windows at the
northeast corner of 13th and F streets.
Contest Ends Tomorrow.
Tomorrow at midnight the contest
is to close. All essays must be in by
that time or they will not be consid
ered. Announcement of awards will
he made as soon as the essays are care- |
fully read and marked. For the bene
i fit of those who may not have read
previously the manner in which the 100
per cent is to be distributed it is given
again: For the subject matter, 40; for
spelling, 15; for grammar, 20: for gen
eral neatness, and for handwriting, 5.
Ideas ;is to some of the uses to which
electricity may put in everyday life
may bo obtained from observing the many
j electrical devices on display at 13th and
F streets. In addition to the prizes of
! fered are many other articles.
Prizes Are Practical.
The prizes offered are of a practical
nature. Wherever beauty is to bo found
among the electrical things there, use
also is to be found.
Both adults and school children are
taking deep interest in the contest.
Indeed, no little good-natured rivalry
has been aroused. And still the ques
tions as to the ways in which elec
tricity may be used are being asked in
all parts of the city.
Scores of persons hitherto unfamiliar
with the great servant of mankind are
being awakened to its great variety of
uses?and to the spread of those uses.
Likewise scores are becoming familiar
with the simplicity of operation of
electrical machines. With practically
all of them, as is indeed the case with
the essay- writing also, no technique is
required. Simplicity is the keynote.

asphalt block manufacturing concern

can be taken wherever there is work
