NO CAUSE FOUND FOR EXPLOSION 9/12/1916 Official investigation of the explosion at the Oliphant plant of the du Pont Powder company which claimed the lives of three men was made yesterday by W.L. Scott, of Wilmington, Del. Division superintendent for the company. No cause, however, was found. Superintendent Dulaney stating that doubtless note ever will become known. Mr Scott commended Mr. Dulaney for the manner in which he handled the emergency. Virtually all of the bodies of the three vicitims was found, Superintendent Dulaney said. Employees of the plant worked diligently yesterday afternoon to collect the fragments of the three bodies, finding an arm here, then a hand, and a leg or foot there. As the victims of the explosion were of different size identification was not difficult, the remains being assembled and removed to the R.D. Nixon morgue at Fairchance. So great was the force of the two explosions that several windows in Brownfield houses and in the second floor of the Union Supply Company building at Oliphant were shattered.
