CAIRO, Ill. -- The black powder mills of the Miami Powder Co. at Fayville, Ill., blew up yesterday, killing assistant superintendent J.H. Kibler of Chicago, Joshua Martin of Cairo and Alvey Grubbs of Thebes, Ill.; the explosion is heard miles away, windows being broken and buildings shaken; the black powder mill section, six buildings in all, is destroyed.
After viewing the new Saint Francis Hospital grounds and seeing exactly where the new building is to be located, Mother Casimira and her advisers decide the building was set too near Good Hope Street on the north; it will be moved back to provide a larger front lawn.
