EXPLOSION KILLS SIX AT GUNCOTTON PLANT
One of Worst Accidents Occurs Wednesday
Morning as Employees Make Change of Shifts
One of the worst fatalities that has occurred at any of the munitions plants in Cameron county for several months was that at the Howard Smokeless plant of the Aetna Explosives Company at 7:20 o'clock yester day morning. Six men received injuries from which they died, two of them being killed instantly. The Solvent Recovery building was the first to let go and was reduced to splinters and ashes by explosions and fire and the Pyro Cotton storage building was slightly damaged by fire in the interior. Every man in the Solvent Recovery building was killed, making it one of the most deplorable accidents in the history of Emporium.
The victims, all residents of Emporium, were as follows:
GEORGE HENRY SMITH, aged 47 years; leaves wife and five children.
SECONDO Ricci, aged 23 years; killed instantly.
ALBERT HOUT, aged 29 years; leaves a widow.
TONY RICCI, cousin of Secondo Ricci; killed instantly.
LUIGI GABRIEL.
The accident happened at the time the men were changing shifts. The two buildings were widely separated, and how they could let go simultaneously is a question that puzzles many. It is stated the Riccis were instantly killed. Three of the others lived but a short time. John Sanford was the last of the six to succumb. He died at 7:20 last evening.
