Newrork, Feb. i. A ofrgo of
dynamite in transit from a
freight car to the hold of a light
er moored at pier No. 7, Commu
nipa,' N. J., - exploded at one
minute past noon today, 150 yards
youth of the Jersey City terminal
' of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and in the widespread ruin
that ' followed, seven men are
known to have been killed, seven
morerare missing, hundreds were
wounded and vary in? reports
leave from 15 to. 20 more unac
counted for.
Thirty seems to be a conserva
tive estimate of the dead and th6
property damage will hardly fall
below" 760,000. The cause of the
explosion is attributed to the
dropping of a case of dynamite
and e' boiler explosion on a boat.
Just what was the direct cause
probably never will be known .
Th Jersey City terminal was
wrecked: three ferryboats in
the sKps were torn and splinter
ed; lower Manhattan, across the
riverwis shaken from the street
level to the top of the Singer
tower severe damage was done
in Brooklyn and Statsn Island
and to the immigrant detention
station on Ellis island ; the shock
was 4elt at Amityville, Long
Island, 85 miles distant, and in
New Jersey at Long Branch, 45
mile -sway. The damage is so
widely scattered that it is impos
sible sb yet to more than roughly
estimate it, but in Manhattan
alone it is placed at $100,000, on
Elli Island at from $10,000 to
$25,000 and in all three quarters
of a million appears to be a fair
estimate.
The lighter receiving the dyna
mitethe Katherine, W. Va.,
owned by James Healing of Jersey
Oity vanished utterly with her
crew of seven men, including tbe
master, Edward Travers. Along
side was the lighter, Whistler,
which was so badly shattered that
he sink with her crew of two,
while the Swedish steel barken
tine Ingrid was stripped of her
rigging and the lives ef two deck
hands aboard snuffed out. Frag
ments of one man's head was
found swinging high on a tangled
piece of rope.
The Katherine W. was tied to
the ooter end of the pier and a
crew of dock hands waB unload
ing a consignment of fifty-pound
boxes from two freight cars to the
lighters when the crash came.
One report was to the effect tha
the explosive was consigned to
contractors up the river, for
blasting along the palisades;
another that it was bound for
Havana.

Keep The Befroom Window Op?n.
Do you keep plenty of fresh air
in your bedroom at night? That
is the ticket if you want to be
healthy. That's the prevention
of colds and pneumonia say the
doctors, Dr. W. S. Wheeler,
Kansas City, health commissioner
gives the following advice:
"Plenty of fresh air is the pre
ventive and that certainly is a
simple remedy. Keep your bed
room window open. Don't have
a draft across the bed, but keep
the air in the room thoroughly
flushed out all the time. So
many persons shut every window
tight, pull down the blinds and
cork the key hole every time the
mercury gets below the freezing
point. They are the ones who
are having pneumonia now.
"Gas as a furnace fuel helps
pneumonia and other laryngeal
and bronchial diseases get a start.
Heat trom gas is dryer than coal
heat. It haB an influence in cant
ing respiratory diseases similar to
the influence of dry, dusty weath
er of which we had so much last
fall. Then, toe, when gas is used
there is a tendency to heat only a
part of the house in order to keep
down gas bills. The result is
that the occupants of the house
go from wirm rooms to cold ones
and catch cold in that way.
"A gas fire never goes down,
while a coal fire somtimes goes
out and the rooms have a chance
to cool off and beoome freshened
as a resalt. There woula be few
er colds and less pneumonia, I be
lieve, if gas were not used as a
furnace fu-j!." Winston-Salem
