New York, Aug. 22.—At 12:30 o'choe,k this afternoon an explosion ,occurred in the fifth story building, 68 and 70 k'ark Place, oeeupied by John 0: Eberle manufacturer lit .chats. .At - the time' of the explosion many of those who work in the building were at hatch. It was 'estimated that more •thhn 150 boys, girls, men and women were in the building at the titt:e. Out of the clouds of lire and smoke half . ''''"`e tY2' lfOlidris a egged; `while from the six story bniidings on. the north east corner ' of Greenwich and ' Park • Place at least 100 working people of; both sexes and all ages were uttering cries of alarm. all through Saturday night and engSun' day removing the debris frorli the burned buildings on Park Place. Two companies of firemen kept at their dreary task of searching for bodies. At 8 o'c'lock last night a steady down pour ofrrain stopped the work of re- -moving the bodies from the ruins, the ,anen being forced to quit work and seek shelter in the adjoining buildings: The ruined structute.witti its tottering walls presented a dismal picture, but all Through the pouring rain anxious watchers •stood outside the fire lines patiently waiting to hear some news. that would be a clue to missing friends and relatives. 'The cries of terror of men- and the almost human screams of, horses were only a small accompaniment of the terrible scene which instantly followed. . Not more than a second could possibly have elapsed before the front walls of Nos: 70, 72 ancl 74 fell. crashing into —c•treP o -those who saw the sl'ght it worribly attractive. The • great walls slowly rolled and swelled out with an undulating nlotibn,'until, slowly at'frrst, but then wore rapidly, they gave away, and in a moment there was not a stick or a stone stand- ='1'I infabove the first floor between the .dividing walls. • The walls . of the, standing -buildings were jagged es the bricks .were.torn out in places., '.there •-did not remain the slightest semblance ;of what had peen. ,three seconds befori•' an apparently strong •and well 'coni-. strutted. building. The mass of brick, stone and timber • fell .upon the side- walk and filled half the 's-id.th of the street. • In • the meantime fire had broken 'out and was licking the lower part of No. 68. 'At least 50 men had clan-. up on ie pr e of ruins, hoping to. rescue some. of the unfortunate people who were ki3own to b( buried lin the ruins. They were driven from 'their posts by the fire, which was • .spreading rapidly. A deep feeling of ,horror spread through_ the throng as -estimates 'of the number• of victims • .passed froni mouth to ,niotjth. For over two hours this was almost the st_i cct of iii 1uiry. It was' on of everyone. During the whole of those `Y.'o;lg hours the • fire reigned. supreme The Lucknow Sel tinel, Bruce L.:oulnty, August 28th pang denied that their supply pipes connected with any pipes leading into NOTE LOST the wrecked building. Another theory was that the boiler in the resta had exploded. Then it was said that some chemicals had exploded in the drug store. The most plausible theory of all, however, is that the wreck was ca,u ed by the shaky condition of the building and the vibration of the heavy presses running in the litho- phing-ancl--pri-ntipg establishments - on the upper floors. It dis• generally admitted that there was an explosion of some kind, but the collapse is accounted for in no other way than the one mentioned. s urant LOST, AS NEAR AS I CAN SAY, IN the township of West Wawancprlh, ou or about the 15th of August, a blank Note Hook, with a Promissory Note, made by Wm.

That she was alive and conscious after being buried. under the :mass of brick seven feet deep, was'almost a miracle'. The little girl's face and arcus, were bleeding from cuts and burns, but she was able to talk. As soon as Mulligan ,raised her up ;he lifted herr eyes to a window on the upper floor of a building across,the strut and called in piteous tnes, "There's ury: tuanima."
