Terra Haute, Ind. 12 o'clock? The Dupont
Powder Mills at Fontanet have blown up and
the town has been destroyed
Fontanet, Oct- 15. 1 o'clock? Seventy bod
ies have so far been recovered from the ruins
of the town. Hundreds are known to have
perished. The streets are filled with injured
and communication is almost impossibly *
Fontanet, Iud. Oct. 15 ? Without a moment's warning
thousands of tons of dynamite that were stored in the ware
houses of the Dupont Powder company exploded here this
morning. The entire town has been destroyed. The
greatest loss of life will be in the schools, where the cliil
dren of the men employed in the mills were attending
classes, and in the factory proper. Buildings on every side
have collapsed and nothing but a great hole marks where the
town stood this morniug. The c&use of the disaster will
never be known. The report of the explosion was heard
sixty miles away. Towns twenty miles distant were shaken
and residents thought they were passing through an earth
quake.
Fontanet, Iud., Oct. 15?2 o'clock ? The force of the
explosion has caved in the two coal mines at this place and
three hundred coal miners are entombed. Rescue parties
attempted to effect an entrance, but could not do so 011 ac
count of the great fall of earth in the entrance. Air, if
possible, will be forced into the shaft to keep the men alive.
An appeal has been sent to Terre Haute for a relief train.
Fontanet, Oct. 15 ? '6 o^clock ? A relief train arrived
from Terra Haute at 2 o'clock, bringing doctors and nurses.
Eight hundred people have been injured and up to this
hour two hundred dead have been taken from the ruins of,
different buildings of the city. The exact list of dead will
never be known, as portions of bodies are found everywhere. |
The most pathetic scenes are witnessed on all sides, j
Mothers and fathers hunt the ruins of what was once the
public school looking for traces of their children, while at
the mouth of the coal mine scores of weeping women are
congregated while the attempt at rescue of entombed men
is being carried on by the night shift of miners.
