Seven 3Ien Blown to Atoms and Ves sel Blown to Splinters Consider able Damage Done for 3fany 3Iiles Around Ei&ht Arrested. New York, Feb. 1. A cargo of dynamite in transit from a freight car to the hold of a lghter moored at Per No. 7, Communipaw, N. J., let go at just one minute past noon to-day, 150 yards south of the Jersey Cen tral terminal of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and in the widespread ruin that followed seven men are known to have been killed, seven more are missing, hundreds were wounded and varying reports leave from fifteen to twenty more unac counted for. Thirty seems to be a conservative estimate of the dead, and property damage will hardly fall below $750, 000. The cause of the explosion is variously attributed to the dropping of a case of dynamite and to a boiler explosion on a boat. Just what was the direct cause probably never will be known. The Jersey Central terminal was wrecked; three ferryboats in the slips! were torn and splintered; lower Man hattan, across the river, was shaken from the street level to the top of the Singer tower; severe damage was done in Brooklyn and Staten Island, and to the immigrant detention sta tion on Ellis Island; the shock was felt at Amityville, Long Island, 3,5 miles distant, and in New Jersey at Long Branch, 45 miles away. The damage is so widely scattered that it is impossible as yet to more than roughly estimate it, but . in Manhat tan alone it is placed at $100,000, on Ellis Island, at from $10,000 to $25,000, and in all, $750,000 appears to be a fair estimate. Eight Arrests on Account of Ex plosion. New York, Feb. 3.
