Bridgeport on May 15 felt four magazine explosions at Success Kill in the Union Metallic Cartridge grounds. About 100000 pounds of powder, stored as smokeless and black powder in two destroyed magazines, caused shattered windows and a panic among alms house inmates. A fifth magazine was nearly demolished but powder cans remained intact. Two blasts occurred 4:30 am lasting 30 seconds, and a second about a minute later. No injuries reported beyond property damage, and authorities ponder the cause. Local residents evacuated in night attire, with many seeking safety outside. Several residents and visitors are noted in the city on business, while others plan travels and visits in Guernsey county.
