Show An Explosion of Dynamite. Yonkebs, N. Y., January 16. A small wooden building, loosely thrown together, in which were 250 pounds of dynamite stored in a frozen state, at the Croton aqueduct, was blown up at 11:20 this morning, spreading spread-ing destruction in all directions. Around the building were the engine and compressor-rooms of the shaft, boarding houses and other buildings all were badly damaged. The peculiar feature of the affair is the fact that nobody was hurt, with the exception of Mrs. Fox, who keeps a boarding-house near the spot, and she only received slight bruises. Glass in all houses in the neighborhood was broken, and people at a distance thought the shock was caused by an earthquake. |
