A GERMAN DISASTER.
ANOTHER FACTORY EXPLODES ONE HUNDRED DEATHS. (PresH Association —Copyright.) (Received 7.35 p.m.) Paris, Dec. B.—Advices from Berlin indicate that the Saarwillingen explosion was a disaster of the first magnitude. So far it is ascertained that 100 people have been killed. All buildings in the vicinity are destroyed. The factory was the first to catch fire. Fifty workers therein -were cut off and burned to death. The outside depots blew up in quick succession. Many dead were disfigured an 1 .mutilated so as to be unidentifiable. The conflagration is believed to have been caused by faulty handling of a 3amp, whereby the fire was communicated to a dynamite depot in which oil fluid was being made.—(A. and N.Z.)
