1913 - Seven Lives Lost

Beloeil, Quebec, July 24. - Seven lives were lost at Beloeil today when an explosion of nitroglycerine blew one of the isolated building of the Canadian Explosive company to bits and scattered the dismembered bodies of four men and three girls, employes, in every direction. Workers in the other houses of the plant were uninjured, the distance between the buildings being great enough to prevent the shock from producing other explosions. With the except of Eugene Larive, of St. Hilaire, all the dead were residents of Beloiel.
