Paterson, X. .1., June *2.—Fourteen
jveople are believed to have bvn
killeti and a number injured in a tire
following an explosion among a quan
tity of lire works in the store of Abra

on the ground floor of a four-story
frame tenement building. The cause
ot the explosion is not known. The
property loss will not exceed
A number of people received minor
injuries, but went to their homes.
I he explosion occurred shot" Iv after
noon, and many of the occupants of
th** building were at dinner.
1'en families occupied Hats in the
building. So great was the force of
tin* explosion that a boy plaviug in
the street half a block away was lift
ed from his feet and hurled against
an iron fence. One of his legs was
broken. A trolley car was directly
in front of the building when the
explosion occurred. . The burst of
thiine blow n out into tin* s’reet
scorched ihc sides of the car and
singl'd th»' hair of the passengers.
\ numl*»*r of those who were on
the up|M*r floors of the building when
tin* explosion took place were either
stunned and then burned to death,
or found escape cut off and were suf
focated. After the first explosion
there wa> a succession of smaller ones,
and then came a second big explosion,
which was muffled and deadened and
probably occurred in the cellar.
Every window serirtcd to Ik* emitting
ffume within a minute after the first
explosion. Mrs. Williams, her cloth

to the yard Ivelovv. Her dead body
was dragged out of reach of the
flames, but the ffesh was rousted and
dropped from tlu* lames. Mrs. Wil

of Johnstown in ls.s«» mo far as the loss

urday morning, shortly after mid
night, a heavy downpour of rain be
gan. accouqtunied by a severe electric
storm, which violently increased in
volume, mul continuing for several
hours. I his continued throughout
the entire day and night, and at 10
a. in., while the storm has abated,
the lowering clouds would indicate
another ferritic downpour at anv
moment. Muni miles of the Norfolk
and Western track, bridges and tel
egraph lines are entirely destroyed,
and communication is entirely cut
otT west of I Ikliorn. so tliut it is im
possible to learn the full extent of
the loss of life and property, hut
officials of the coal corporations lo
cated in the stricken district have
sent out messengets to Klkhorn, the
terminus of both telegraphic and
railroad communications. and have
received a report that a conservative
estimate as to the loss of life will
easily reach JOO. Some of the drown
ed are among the most prominent
oiti/ens of the coal Helds.
The* Pocahontas coal Held is located
In a basin, with high mountains on
either side. Klkhorn creek flowing
through the center of the basin, which
ranges from on-fourth to one mile
In width. From Knnis, \V. Ya., to
Nivian \ard, \ a., a distance of ten
miles, miners' cabins, coal cotnnanv
commissaries and coke plants line
this basin. I'lkhorn creek, being fed
by numerous small streams <*oiuing
from the mountain side. rises very
rapidly, and this water spout came
ho suddenly that the entire basin l»e
tween the two mountain range* was
flooded, and before the terror-stri"U
en people realized what was upon
them, they were carried down by th-*
flood, which swept everything in its
path.
I he little town of Keystone, with
n population of about 2,000, seems
the greatest sutTerer, practically the
entire town lieing washed away. The
town is the principal one in 1 he Poca
hontas coal fields, ami is located near
its center. It was to n great extent
the headquarters from which the
mining population purchased supplies,
ami was also the only place in the
field where whisky could be pur
chased. At this place there xvere
some 12 to 15 saloons, all of which
whs washed away.
On the t Much valley branch of «he
Norfolk and Western railway, be
tween this city and Norton, Va., com
munication is entirely severed west
of Tazewell, Va. Reports come from
that point of great loss of life and
property throughout that entire sec

the water stands to the depth of *ix
or eight feet hi the street and houses,
all of the occupants having been re

The report comes that the mining
population are now' occupying the
banks of the streams below catching
the merchandise and barrels of
whisky and is-er as they float down.
A great number of the coal and coke
plants at the mouth of Pocahontas
region are reported practically de
stroyed and are in some instances en
tirely washed away. Owing to the
very high wnter which hns flooded
the region and prevented communi

which brought him here Saturday,
and iu which, by virtue of liis class
ottice. the young ninti would have

anything and the body a wait.si its

Repeated effort* to locate Secretary
Hay by wire were futile until the
ewrly morning hours, when a request
from the father reached Mr. Seth
Mosely, the proprietor of the lioteL
to take care of the body until tlie
members ol the family could reach
town. Meanwhile the sensation «>e
casioned by the tragedy continued.
Every movement of Young Hay was
traced in an effort to nenetrute the
uncertainties of M* awful taking
off.

on May '.’!i left Washington with his
mother and two sisters for New hurn,
N. II., the Hummer home of Secretary
llav. I .a st week he left New IIiimi;»
shire for New ^ ork, where he spent
some days. He arrixed in New Haven
Saturday evening in time for dinner,
and went immediately to the New
Haven house, where he was assigned
to Itoom No. 17, third floor front,
directly over the Chapel street en
trance to the hotel office.
I h ere x\ as a solitary spec tutor to
I the terrible tragedy, n laborer on the
ei!y streets. At the hour mentioned
the workman sn\x- the form of a man
falling through space. An instant.
Inter the body lay directly in front of
the main hotel entrance. The hor
rified laborer rushed to the spot, and
his shouts brought others. The usual
crowd gathered. In it were several
Imbued Vale graduates. They bent
over the body. One of llieiii. Julbtii
Mason, a son of the late Kdxvard (J.
.Mason, of ( hicago. and a classmate
of young Hay, drew hack, and, hor
ror stricken, cried: *\Mx find; it’s
Del Hay.” By this time the hotel
clerk had reached the scene and
made the identitiention complete. Thu
body xxas elad in pajamas.
On tin* xvindoxv sill of the room oc
cupied by young Hay was found a
partly consumed cigarrUe. On tho
floor near tl4c window- xvns a ring I
worn by the victim. Mis ilothing
had been neatly arranged, and the
l»ed clothes were draxvn buck. Tlirt
bed. however, had not ls*en occupied.
Here the mystery becomes infnuglble.
I lie popular theory seems to haxe i
tint the young man. having prepared
for bed, thought to indulg* in a
"good night smoke;" that he choose
the cool of the window, possibly
dozed, lost his balance and fell fcom
the window. The presence of the
ring on the floor, however, gave rl»«
to the fancy that possibly while lov
ing with the ring, it dropped, nod
that in an effort to recover it, the
fall resulted. Hiaxevcr it happened,
the known facts make it eonclusixo
that it xvas all a frightful accident.
